CBT is well established and is a decently effective tool. The description given by the author is in accurate. At it's core, CBT is about identifying bad thought patterns and acknowledging that they don't match reality. Useful for someone with body image issues. Probably less so for someone experiencing chronic pain from an underlying physical issue.
- firecall 5y agoIndeed. I don't want to move into Ad Hominem attacks, but the article really reads like the author is setting out to mischaracterize CBT because of their own bitter experiences. But that's just the 'feeling' I get from it and I'm biased already having had a positive CBT experience :-)
