    And yet your whole psychoanalysis is apparently based upon my refusal to do what you demand.

      I actually recommend going to someone who specializes in CBT and not psychoanalysis. That said if the latter is all that’s available to you it’s generally better than nothing.

        And what, specifically, are you diagnosing me with that requires CBT? Not following your orders?

          CBT helps plenty of people live happier and healthier lives. You don’t actually need to be diagnosed with any mental illness to find it useful.

            That’s not an answer. What, specifically, do I need CBT for?

            You don’t recommend it to everyone you talk to. So why me?

            This is starting to seem like you’re trolling.

              What, specifically, do I need CBT for?

              Ask yourself, are you happy arguing with some something this deep into a comment thread? Are you really getting anything out of it? Because if the answer is no but you find yourself still engaging, it’s probably worth talking to a therapist about.

                None of that has anything to do with cognitive behavioral therapy. I don’t think you actually know what it is.

                So either tell me specifically what you claim I need CBT for or stop trolling a moderator. Your choice.

                  CBT is useful as a way of addressing all sorts of issues someone might be dealing with. It’s very common for therapists today to incorporate aspects of CBT into their practice regardless of the client. It’s not just something used to treat severe mental illness.
