Guardian article on origins of CBT : I have OCD. Some cognitive behavioral therapy techniques were totally wrong for me, April 2024

Friend of friend who is a qualified counsellor said a few years ago that when people are referred to her these days, CBT is specified as the treatment.
She would much rather use her knowledge and experience to offer her choice of what would help.
 
CBT is now a reflex. Applied to everything.
It's an Elastoplast applied without assessing the wound first and hoping it sticks for a while.

DBT seems to be helpful for neurodivergent folks, autistic females I know seem to rate it, but it's usually part of a range of " tools" , not a one size fits all.
