Just ranting and introducing a topic for discussion. This article downplays therapy and ignores this part of the article (ugh):
Researchers say you might as well be your own therapist
"Studies that targeted PTSD or depression (k = 4) had significantly larger effect sizes than those that targeted anxiety or stress, g = −0.717 (95% CI −1.259 to −0.175) versus g = −0.023 (95% CI
−0.276 to 0.230) respectively, (p = .023), and in 75% of studies that targeted PTSD or depression the therapist-directed arm was more effective than the self-help arm."
