Ok cool, you’re absolutely not taking my argument as I made it. I was acknowledging that it’s bad for several things it’s bad for (implying it’s commonly prescribed for those things) but also acknowledging that it’s worth accepting that it’s good for what it’s good for. Maybe it’s bad for some people who have problems it’s good for. But I’ve seen people who desperately need the skills it teaches parrot the rhetoric of it being useless and harmful before so I do feel a desire to speak up in its defense as well.
Hopefully you’ll get what you need, regardless of what it is. And yeah, poor people disproportionately need financial assistance more than training to see cognitive distortions.
It’s also that what you want out of the friend is not for them to run away or apologize profusely, it’s to own up, apologize, and try to be better next time
Ok but it’s great for what it’s great for. CBT can’t fix poverty, but it can fix a tendency to let minor setbacks spiral into full blown panic attacks or an inability to ask loved ones for help.
Plenty of problems aren’t the sort therapy can help with despite them having huge mental effects. But plenty of people have problems therapy is actively good for. In the same way therapy won’t fix your (rational) economic anxiety, if you torpedo every relationship you’re in communism won’t fix you, but DBT might.
