[quote=Anonymous]Hmmm. Have spent thousands on therapy. My view is that talk therapy often is not very helpful, and the dollars and time would have been better spent elsewhere. My DD stopped going because every session began with "How was your week?" instead of focusing on what she thought were the important issues. Therapy that teaches actual skills, on the other hand, can be hugely helpful. My DS did exposure and response prevention therapy for OCD and it saved all our lives. It is a type of cognitive behavior therapy. The trick is that many therapists say they do CBT, but all they really do is talk therapy. Actual CBT can work wonders for anxiety. Have no experience with depression/bipolar, and it may be the case that medication is better for this. I do know someone with PTSD who swears by EMDR for that.[/quote]
