Everyone loves CBT

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Maybe that CBT is also harmful to neurodivergent people.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

I’d guess it’s harmful to about half of the population, though some are fine with that
