I recently had to do a project in one of my psych classes, and man, I knew that CBT was used for every little thing, but seeing over and over, "do CBT! CBT is the best for every mental illness!" was so jarring. I'm absolutely biased because of my own experiences, but I just don't think it's as universal a treatment model as it's touted.
If you didn't benefit from CBT, it's not because you're lazy or didn't try hard enough or lacked intelligence or foresight into your own needs. Frankly, it's a therapy model that (I think) shouldn't be the only readily-accessible model and among the only therapy models covered by insurance. Some of us should not be treated in a CBT model and that's okay. It's not a sign of poor character or unreasonable demands, and if you don't think it's a model that works for you, then it's your right to express that!

(Hewwo there again)
Maxwell likes Halloween, really he does. Seeing Sam so happy makes him happy and he's glad Keres offered their help but he also never really liked parties. Too many people and given he's not the talkative type he stays in his corner. Sipping his Dr. Pepper as he watches those two Heartslabyul idiots scream at Konstantin popped up behind them but he felt something. Eyes on him. He looked to his right, then his left. Nothing. That is until he heard a jingle from a toy. Looking down he came face to face with Knickknack. The little clown was dressed up as his favorite singer with his plastic pumpkin filled with candy and his microphone. He looked up with big starry eyes, this man was as tall as mama...... Maybe he has candy? Max watched as the boy held out his pumpkin to him, face curious. "Honk?"
[HALLOWEEN EVENT - OPEN]
Maxwell probably should talk with Konstantin to not give the first years the last fright of their life but the honks distracted him... This familiar little guy is probably asking for candy isn't he? Well he an help with that besides he's out of Dr Pepper.
