What did you think about alexis's strategy of surfing the web and looking at self books at the book store to better understand herself? what are dangers of that approach? what advice would you give her?

I think Alexis's approach may even help her, but there is a risk of her getting unreliable information on the internet and in self-help books. The advice I would give her is that she go to a therapist.

Explanation:

Alexis may even have good information on how to know herself in self-help books and internet research, but the information in these cases is usually written by uneducated people to advise an individual on how to know themselves, so Alexis can end up receiving unreliable, wrong information that will hinder your self-knowledge process.

For this reason, the best thing Alexis can do is to look for a therapist who is an academically trained professional to help her and who will be able to give correct and functional tips on how to get to know herself.
