This is by far 1 of the most potent and meaningful podcasts online.....please keep them coming.

I'm in a master's program and professors push CBT and evidence-based practices. I am so grateful to have some ammunition to talk about this in class and with my papers.

Very valuable information. It's about time that someone took on the unfounded claims about the effectiveness and superiority of short-term CBT treatment.

Great! Indeed, most clients don’t do their CBT homework, (which I suspect will happen), so we continue therapy from a psychodynamic lens and real healing begins. The therapeutic relationship is more important than clients trying to reframe their negative thoughts. I love the quote, “talk is powerful medicine.” Thank you for sharing true wisdom.

Very clear and useful. These arguments deserve to be very widely known.

Up here in Canada you can get free training in CBT and DBT if you suffer from things like depression. It does help and does make one more conscious of the inner workings of the mind but it is shallow. These modalities are cheap, easy, assembly line therapies which is why they are pushed. I feel CBT and DBT are wonderful starting points but if there is nothing beyond that it would be a great loss. I'm more naturally inclined towards depth psychology but CBT helped me develop some mental discipline which I needed being rather one-sided toward feeling / intuition. It's amazing how one-sided and unscientific the health industry is.

If only prolonged therapy were affordable to all in America

Research. Good stuff.
