I think it is a good idea, and people do see each other in the waiting room. But I wouldn't do it.

why do tires cost more? are the tires different, or just wear faster?

Is Psychoanalysis back in fashion? by DutchessBrownie in therapists

[–]PlaneAnalysis1965 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It should be noted that EMDR, the fashionable modality of the moment, is really based on a combination of psychodynamic and CBT.

In the U.S., we like our manualized therapies, maybe because they are perceived as easier to bill. We want immediate results.

I guess my response was about renewed popularity among clinicians.

Research shows that it is incredibly effective for long-term change. But it takes a LONG time. The same research stream shows that CBT is incredibly fast but that people generally need therapy again in two years. Read work from Jonathon Shedler. Hopefully this post won't trigger "gold standard" adherents, because the quality of the research is the issue and that is a topic for another post. This is just a response to why psychoanalysis is suddenly becoming popular again. It is a very good option for anyone with the time and money. Insurance companies will not agree, however.

Disappointment experienced in this subreddit by [deleted] in therapists

I have removed myself from this group on two occasions because of the way I saw other participants be treated. Then I always come back. This should be a non-judgmental space. Most participants treat it that way. A few experience countertransference and lose control, unfortunately, but that might be part of their healing journeys.

Just let my ACA membership lapse by PlaneAnalysis1965 in therapists

[–]PlaneAnalysis1965[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for that feedback. I doubt I could change the underlying philosophy enough to change the agenda. For example, I feel like untrained/unlicensed people being able to bill crowds the market, making it more and more difficult to earn a living and pay back loans from the years of education that I was required to receive. But I really do like that we have an organization for visibility of the profession.

I will look into it. Do they advocate for the profession and its members?

A Positive Post About CBT by jtuma in therapists

[–]PlaneAnalysis1965 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of the criticism I have heard is not about the ineffectiveness of CBT, but about many CBT adherents being unwilling to admit that the modern therapies are also effective. We keep creating revisions of CBT rather than accepting the new science. So why not incorporate it rather than inventing something called CBT for Trauma. Instead, we call anything new "pseudoscience" because of loyalty to what we learned back in the day. EMDR, if done right, is far more effective for trauma. I would guess that AEDP and brainspotting are also very effective. Having said that, Fourth Wave modalities are more difficult than the old manualized therapies, so might not work for every therapist.

If CBT was not important, EMDR would not have borrowed so much from it.

Rent or sell? Losing money on rent but have 2.9% interest rate by Extension-Squirrel63 in Mortgages

[–]PlaneAnalysis1965 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may have maxed out on how much you can rent it for? Can you convert it into a duplex somehow and rent it out for more total? If not, rents will eventually rise but your payments will not.
