Professionals often have to learn more about a field called “Emotional Intelligence” to learn how to deal with humans better.

For this reason, it is totally appropriate to seek out help from other professionals on how to deal with human issues we may feel less capable with.
It is OK to not be an expert in this area, but it is probably not professional to be over-confident when instead it is better to seek out the advice of people who can help us act in a more professional manner
