I currently use it for my undereyes (one shade lighter than my skin tone for brightness). I am thinking of getting another bottle that matches my skin for spot coverage, but I am wondering if it would have enough coverage for blemishes (mostly hyperpigmentation due to acne). If anyone has another holy Grail spot coverage concealer suggestion, I am open to ideas!
I came across a fb post by a "relational neuroscience educator" (???) claiming CBT is ineffective or even harmful for trauma because it ignores the nervous system and somatic experience (lmao). The thing is, there are very valid critiques of CBT. ANY manualized therapy can be harmful if not in the hands of a skillful practitioner. But any valid points that she may have made were completely drowned out by overexaggerated, anecdotal statements wrapped up in scientific "sounding" language.
Therapies like CPT, PE, and TF-CBT are actually among the most evidence-based treatments for PTSD and go well beyond just “changing thoughts”. I practice PE and have seen people go into remission from their PTSD.
I understand that CBT is not for everyone and some folks do benefit from different approaches. But as a CBT girl, it saddens me to so frequently see the modality criticized in ways that feel almost aggressive (and often reflect unskilled practitioners vs anything inherently wrong with CBT). A good CBT therapist won't just tell you that everything you think and feel is a cognitive distortion and that you are the problem. Where do people get that idea?
Is this critique of CBT outdated/misapplied, or is there something I’m missing here? Curious how other clinicians/RESEARCH-informed folks see this.
