Three Good Things in Life

Dr. Richard Grossman:
 Hi, Daylily—

Terrific comment!  I feel personally the same way you do about cognitive behavior therapy--the emotional parts of my brain are inaccessible via this route.  And yet for some people it works.  The people it works for are obviously different (in some way) than the people it doesn’t work for—and so far, at least from what I’ve read, no one has clearly differentiated the two groups.  Could (for example) one difference have to do with the serotonin transporter gene, and the particular set of these alleles that the person has (e.g. two short alleles makes the success of CBT unlikely)?  I don’t know—but the overall point is:   with depression/anxiety, people have to find out what works best for them, and sometimes that involves trial and error, and often, a combination of approaches.

Best,

Richard

Glad this thread popped up again.

I truly believe that self-hypnosis is an answer. The old book, The Wisdom of Your Subconscious Mind, was deeply convincing
