Guardian: Long Covid is very far from ‘all in the mind’ – but psychology can still help us treat it - by Carmine M Pariante, April 2021

This needs to be repeated ad nauseam. Because it's true. It's amazing that barely anyone makes the obvious leap. This is exactly what we warned about. Opportunity cost does not spare feelings, it applies as firmly as many of the laws of the universe. Long haulers need to be mad about this and they have every right to. None of this was accidental, people chose to fail, were warned about it and doubled down the whole time.

Failure, thy nature is biopsychosocial.
 
I'm beginning to think that psychology is just a marketing ploy. A pyramid scheme to hook up other psychologists to a 'new' trademarked form of CBT wonderful or revisionist ACT and the workshop & materials and the certifications (! especially those !) cost the participants thousands of dollars/euros.
