@strandlines My problem with CBT in general is that the average therapist oftentimes promises an easy fix for everybody’s problems, which is utter nonsense. What I learned from Stoicism is that it’s not about curing your problems, but more about taking back control of the things you can control, and letting go of all the things you can't. That also means accepting your 'shortcomings' and 'problems' as phenomena that you can learn from (which usually means that you will ~~struggle~~ deal with them for the rest of your life).
