Psychotherapy

[Peatogenic]

Do you think psychotherapy is a pseudoscience? I'm interested in cognitive behavioral therapy, somatic experiencing, EMDR.

Could psychotherapy really ever be a science if it's working through the mind, even when mixed with practices that have a neurobiological impact?

If science is art then psychotherapy is science.

If science is art then psychotherapy is science.

Ooh, that's true. You gave me the words I was looking for. The misinterpretation of science as law making.

I think cbt is good and makes sense when you go through it. I think people have a tendency on here to think diet and supplements is all you need.

Peat has specifically mentioned before your thoughts are important, and that mental worries can have strong physical effects.

I believe that taking into account everything is important, such as diet, smart supplementation, any mental help you need like CBT to reframe situations is best. Only working towards one aspect while neglecting others is shortsighted.

Oh definitely. Peat is all about the entire orgsnism/environment.
