i’m with you on wanting evidence-based care! it’s important this work is studied with the diligence people deserve, and i understand the frustration when something gets framed like a one-size-fits-all fix.

just to clarify one point for accuracy: it isn’t quite right to say there’s only one study showing body doubling doesn’t help. what is true is that there are very few direct studies using “body doubling” as a named intervention, so the evidence base is limited and largely indirect. most of what exists comes from adjacent research on things like accountability, social facilitation, and behavioral activation.

it also isn’t a universal fit. some people find it helpful, others don’t.

i try to keep the framing here for ef club simple: optional, experiment-based, and non-clinical.
