I’m not a fan of CBT. To me it’s just autogaslighting.
Some of it can be helpful, in some very limited circumstances (like anxiety conditions that remain when the trigger is gone, or insecurity like imposter syndrome), but you can’t fix externally-caused or ongoing problems with it, and it certainly doesn’t make you feel at all better to try. Quite worse, often, because it’s yet another failure when you can’t convince yourself that your perception of reality is wrong, because it isn’t.
Yet therapists insist on pushing it for every problem. And they wonder why people don’t have much faith in the mental health system, if they can even access care in the first place..
CBT is for getting people just well enough to show up for work
