CBT can be harmful in many cases, including to many neurodivergent people. Just often worth being cautious and looking into alternatives.
Interesting. I did CBT for a couple of years and it was mostly about reframing extreme thoughts— eg you catch yourself thinking "I'm unlovable" and remind yourself it's more like "my last two relationships ended poorly".
It wasn't exactly what I needed but I didn't see much potential for harm. Is there more to CBT than what I did, or are there situations where that type of thinking can make things worse?
That's why I only use CBD.... especially the gummies!
They’re referring to the other CBT acronym
Maybe that CBT is also harmful to neurodivergent people.
I’d guess it’s harmful to about half of the population, though some are fine with that
The cognitive behavioral therapy I did was nothing like this. It also didn't help me much or at all. Exciting to see that they are able to actually measure significant changes in the brain. Hopefully, this can help more people and also help develop more treatments
Don't know the issue you faced, but if it can help DBT is another approach for issues. I took a "course" in it to help support my child going through it.
That's interesting! I have never heard of it before. I'll have to look into it further. Thank you!
I've dealt with depression and anxiety for most of my life. Nothing that I would describe as dangerous, but enough to be an annoyance/interference.
