Don't get me wrong, I think these can be great tools for many.

But I doubt if they are a ''cure''

I like the idea that we are supposed to accept thoughts and feelings without Judgment.

So many people seem to struggle with ''judgment''

Thoughts?

Also I think there is (or can be) an oversell on CBT..
Especially in this forest, often we are offered little else.
(and as many know meds aren't an option for me )

Are we blamed if CBT doesn't ''work''?
are we labelled and shunned as ''unable to benefit from therapy''.. ugh.
Or do we label and shun ourselves.

And where does this labelling and shunning begin? Where does this disappointment begin? Sometimes with rejecting, sick parental units, even violent parental units

(not about anyone on pc)

I guess also it depends who is trying to ''sell'' these things...
If its someone well intentioned who doesn't turn on me if I don't make ''significant change'' in half an hour..
If its someone well intentioned who doesn't pick apart my every word or action...
I'm more inclined to invest effort and psychic energy into this...

I have only found tools to help...
Some days they do but others not at all...

The best help of all comes from those who understand our pain...
For there is no judgement here...
