pfft I like to ask every doc I go to, what outcomes they have produced in cases like mine and how many such cases they see a year. The CBT ppl just blink at me like the question is not on their manual. And one even said no great outcomes but here are the things you should do. Why would I spend my time doing them if they haven't produced results?
I mean these are nice people with good intentions but so is a priest in a church or a temple. The whole thing feels half baked. Ya ya I know reprogramming the mind is complex and this is a work in progress. But my experience from work and coaching team sports is people follow authority figures when in doubt/outcomes are unknown. And most shrinks and counsellors in my case atleast are unable to establish authority.
