Well, well, well, if it isn't the consequences of my own actions.

I'm not expecting different results, but that would be a pleasant surprise.

No, that's called practice.

Source: my experiences. How would i possibly find sources for comments i read a year ago on an instance i have blocked? If you don't believe me, that's fine.

me reading stackoverflow threads

[–] LovableSidekick 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I wish stackoverflow wasn't usually at the top of searches for tech problems. I always skip down to tutorials. I want to know how to do the thing right, not autopsies of doing it wrong.

Have you tried doubling down? Oh ok. What about triple down?

The writer and group analyst Farhad Dalal questions the socio-political assumptions behind the introduction of CBT. According to one reviewer, Dalal connects the rise of CBT with "the parallel rise of neoliberalism, with its focus on marketization, efficiency, quantification and managerialism, and he questions the scientific basis of CBT, suggesting that "the 'science' of psychological treatment is often less a scientific than a political contest". In his book, Dalal also questions the ethical basis of CBT.

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

They really ought to think about changing the name or at least the acronym for that. Someone who hasn't heard of it before might assume they're going to have their genitals tortured.

They say it was the Chinese who first experimented with CBT to the testicles...

[–] LovableSidekick 2 points 1 month ago

Weren't there even earlier experiments with spankings and being sent to your room?

I say we double down

Ironically, that doesn't sound like a scientific rebuttal of the efficacy of CBT as much as a political argument
