me reading stackoverflow threads

I wish stackoverflow wasn't usually at the top of searches for tech problems. I always skip down to tutorials. I want to know how to do the thing right, not autopsies of doing it wrong.

Have you tried doubling down? Oh ok. What about triple down?

see this is funny until you have a patient who's been manic and hasn't stopped walking for a whole week straight begging for opiates to relieve the pain in their swollen feet sir they are begging you for mercy for a reason and I will not silence their suffering to appease their abuser and make you dizzy to boot that is how you snap a weakened ankle and acquire a subdural hematoma when your head hits the floor and I am not doing the paperwork for all that go lay the fuck down and put your feet up also for the love of God please stop trying to cheek your lithium that would solve all of these problems within a few business days (I phrase it nicer to their face)

The writer and group analyst Farhad Dalal questions the socio-political assumptions behind the introduction of CBT. According to one reviewer, Dalal connects the rise of CBT with "the parallel rise of neoliberalism, with its focus on marketization, efficiency, quantification and managerialism, and he questions the scientific basis of CBT, suggesting that "the 'science' of psychological treatment is often less a scientific than a political contest". In his book, Dalal also questions the ethical basis of CBT.

I’m not a fan of CBT. To me it’s just autogaslighting.
Some of it can be helpful, in some very limited circumstances (like anxiety conditions that remain when the trigger is gone, or insecurity like imposter syndrome), but you can’t fix externally-caused or ongoing problems with it, and it certainly doesn’t make you feel at all better to try (quite worse, often, because it’s yet another failure when you can’t convince yourself that your perception of reality is wrong)..
Yet therapists insist on pushing it for every problem. And they wonder why people don’t have much faith in the mental health system, if they can even access care in the first place..

They really ought to think about changing the name or at least the acronym for that. Someone who hasn't heard of it before might assume they're going to have their genitals tortured.

Ironically, that doesn't sound like a scientific rebuttal of the efficacy of CBT as much as a political argument
