I’d like to hear about people’s most successful approaches or styles (even if unconventional), that helped them to overcome or at least get their various struggles under control.

So for example, Sinclair Method (naltrexone) [baclofen adjuvant] --> problem drinking.

    Education and anecdotes. I work a therapist for about 30 mins every two weeks and honestly, I find much of their suggestions kinda neutral. I often ask how they fit to that suggestion. That’s where they recommend a book on the topic.

    Reading their book recommendations is better for me, because their advice is now given in a format where I can read and review over and over. The books have anecdotes about other use cases. It has studies. It has research paper I can personally dig into.

    Honestly, my therapist is less of a “let me explain” and more of a librarian who helps me find resources myself.
