I've tried cbt in conjunction with other mindfullness techniques: they required me to work a lot on myself and my thoughts (but this is right: you, the patient, is the one that does the work on itself, not the doctor) but it was one of the greatest help and valuable resource i discovered in my life. Really, can't even understand what they meant when they are talking about placebo effect. There is no placebo effect in cbt.
