Does anyone besides me think cognitive behavioral therapy is a load of horseshit?

I have reasons for thinking so, but after a quick look around the web, it seems I'm in the minority.

I was going to copy / paste a huge-ass paper I wrote, but for now I just want to know if I'm the only one whose bullshit detector went off.

The primitive once known as the droopy drawers primitive:

1. Does anything work for you, Ladyhawk?

I think I'd have to read a book or two before I passed judgement. I did read the Wiki article about it and it sounds like something I've experienced in the past in therapy, but I don't know for sure. I never asked the therapist what school of thought she subscribed to regarding therapy and what her training was. Whatever she did, it worked. She got me to change my behavior. The results are 92 pounds lost and a possible new girlfriend. I did all of the heavy lifting. She just pointed out the errors in my ways and lit a fire under my ass.

The reason for the question in the subject line is that I know you've struggled with depression for a long time and that it's bad enough for you to be on disability. Do you take psychiatric medication? I do, and no amount of talk therapy would make me better without those meds. I've heard that there is a small percentage of people who suffer from mental illness that nothing works for. They try and try and don't get any better. Are you one of those people?

That's it; no other primitives gave the squawking primitive the time of the day.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

I suspect they did.

Or told her if she wants them, she has to pay for them herself now.

You know, California's having some, uh, problems with the budget.
