Do knowledge about it change the psyche and do we need to change the essence and character of the individual?

There is a naive opinion that a psychologist, due to psychological knowledge, should change in his mental and behavioral state to a more perfect and correct side. This opinion arises in people due to psychological illiteracy and ignorance. They often do not understand the philosophical and deep foundations of psychic phenomena. In the end, they do not understand psychoanalysis on a practical level, having read some books and works in this direction. Thus, Sigmund Freud, who created psychoanalysis, should have already mastered his unconscious processes during his lifetime and thoroughly changed his psyche and his mental States. Supposedly, General knowledge of the unconscious should fundamentally change the human psyche. Of course, all this is naive. The emotional-volitional sphere of a person, having initially objectively set characteristics, retains its essence, but at the same time it is open to changing and psychocorrecting during the development of volitional structures. Therefore , it is naive to believe that people, having read thick books on psychology, can change in their essence and thoroughly transform their emotional and volitional sphere. Bare knowledge of psychology does not fundamentally change the psychology of a person, but can only to some extent, and , sometimes, for a while to correct the psyche. The character of a person is an essential component of the psyche associated with his behavior, which can only be corrected, but it is almost impossible to thoroughly replace the character in a positive way. Only some correction is possible that does not affect the basis of the character. If a thorough transformation of character occurs, it is most often due to the degradation of mental processes caused by brain injuries , diseases, aging, drug addiction, alcoholism, psychochemization, etc.
The will and emotional-volitional sphere of a person cannot be significantly corrected, thanks to the bare psychological knowledge read or heard. For the development and correction of this area, knowledge alone is not enough. We need special conditions in which people would develop.

Moreover, one of the factors that do not allow to thoroughly transform the psyche and character of a person is the situational component of the psyche. The psyche is often the product of an unpredictable situation and new unpredictable contents arise within it, to which a person cannot respond based on their achieved positive results of mental correction.

There are unique, individual and even key knowledge of a person about themselves that a person can discover, thanks to the help of a professional master psychoanalyst who can help a person get rid of suffering. By the way, this is what I have dedicated my life to...But all this is only a correction of the psyche, although sometimes significant, but it is not a fundamental change in the character of a person.

All of us in the world are surrounded by various unchanging entities. The essence of the sun, sky, and earth...And how hard it would be for us to live if these entities were thoroughly changed. We need these entities. We rely on them. Apparently the same is true of the essence of the human psyche. And how good it is that we are all so different, that is, we have different essences of our soul and psyche. And how hard it would be if we slipped away from each other, thoroughly changing our characters and essences...
When a unique and original person is universalized and psychically transformed into something General and supposedly positive, ignoring his identity, essence and existence, this impoverishes humanity.

Thus, is it worth thoroughly artificially changing the character and essence of a person? Maybe the world was waiting for him like this? Maybe this essence and character of a person is the meaning of being and its mission, that is, the world needed it!? Should man artificially intrude on what The world wants?
