    I have gone through some trauma therapy that has helped where no talk therapy has been able to. There are lots of studies showing the effectiveness too. Look up EMDR or brain spotting.

    I really just have to push back on the “doing nothing at all” or “talking to a rubber duck” piece because I’d been trying that for years and trauma flashbacks don’t seem just go away on their own.

      So it works for you and that’s okay. That’s why I made the edit.

        I still somewhat take issue with that characterization though. It doesn’t just “work for me and that’s okay,” it works period. It has been clinically shown to work for other people too. I only say this because spreading misinformation about it being “pseudoscience” and ineffective only serves to continue some people’s pain and never find an effective treatment for them, and I believe that’s potentially dangerous.

          Buddy, I’m not telling you it doesn’t work for you. But you have no problem whatsoever dictating to me that it works for me which it absolutely does not in any way. It’s a waste of my time and energy that yields nothing of value at all.

          You might want to do some of that introspection on this issue you seem to have. Or talk to your therapist about it if it works for you.

            Buddy, I’m not telling you it will work for you. I’m talking about on the whole we have scientific evidence to prove that it is effective. I’m literally only responding to your claim that “therapy is pseudoscience.” No need to get so defensive.
