  I love Dr Burns' work. I sometimes wonder if a company which wanted to provide good customer service would do Testing at the start and end of every support case. (And not "how did we do?" email surveys which mean "punish the call handler for anything less than 5 stars")

  Speaking of cybersecurity and shady marketing tactics: that website offers a "free depression test," but when you fill out the survey, they tell you that you have to give them your email address to see the results. Meaning that the test results are sent over unencrypted email.

    I think at some level, if strong security / end-to-end encryption is not seamlessly baked into the products we already use, things like this may keep happening. I don't know too many emotional health professionals who are also very knowledgeable in cybersecurity, so people may just use the defaults. Which is why I like Signal and WhatsApp (to some extent) for doing it behind the scenes. I'm willing to bet most people have no idea how public email tends to be.

  My therapist hasn't done this, but I do find the decompression of therapy to usually reflect how valuable it was to me anyway. Tracking my anxiety with Daylio has really helped as well. Gives me much better metrics for how my anxiety changes over time and with different medications. Hardest part has been keeping the scale consistent even when my baseline amount of anxiety seems to change.
