I don’t think we’re arguing the same subject at all.
I don’t think negative symptoms are a mindset issue, and my therapist knows that also. It’s just easier to deal with them when I put tasks in front of myself instead of feeling defeated by them, like how it happened in the past. Doesn’t mean they’re not there.
Learned helplessness is a real issue, and should be dealt with with a change in mindset.
I think you’re blaming all therapists for the mistakes of some.
I am not blaming all therapists but there are a disproportionate number of CBT practitioners who choose to blame the patient rather than acknowledge CBT’s fallibility and limitations.
Yeah, CBT isn’t as big here, so we might just be talking from different backgrounds.
I’d have more time for CBT practitioners if more of them were humble enough and intelligent enough to acknowledge that CBT doesn’t work for everyone, and it can’t just be simplistically put down to having a faulty mindset or not engaging with the treatment .
Well it works for me and it has worked for many others… Focus on the positive aspect of it instead on on the negative. It has been working wonders with me in just two months.
I have a good therapist, I give you that.
I’m sure there’s a lot of bad therapists out there.
I tend to agree wholeheartedly @anon9798425. Just as positive symptoms cannot be cured by thinking positively.
Your accomplishes are many. Keep posting!
This is some good stuff right there.
Haha!
