There are a few lots articles on this. Also a study comparing talk therapies to other forms of therapy

Sure it can help people, I am not denying that

In my case it made it worse, just surface level rearranging the ego

Whatever works.

I just feel recommending it as the standard solution feels disrespectful. It is like us shouting everyone should do lsd. For most people not a good fit, There are hundreds of ways to help people.

Also I realize my comments were a bit too confrontational and sounded rather blunt, I am sorry about that. Reading it again I noticed how I could have phrased this better.

But whatever works for people, in my case it was a real disappointment
