I’d also note mindfulness only works with practice and reflection as well as an experienced guide. It’s not a pill to be swallowed. Likewise CBT and other interventions need a work, practiced, and an experienced and licensed practitioner.
Finally I would look at late life outcomes as well. A lot of the lessons of vipassana and other mindfulness lessons are difficult for the very young. Handing someone a life time tool and expecting it to yield apples before the tree is even planted or tended is absurd.
- renewiltord 2y agoA lot of this is junk so it’s hard to take the rest seriously. CBT works just fine self-taught. You don’t need an experienced and licensed practitioner. That is totally bogus. So I must conclude that there is zero information value in the rest.
- benterix 2y agoWhat I suspect the parent is referring to is that if someone pretends they practice CBT but have no experience they may create more problems instead of solving the existing ones. But personally, I'd attribute that to therapists in general, especially the ones who tend to shift the blame towards the parents (even if they don't spell it out explicitly), not really to CBT where you actually verify very quickly if the method works or not.
