My Biggest DisappointmentOften the things we look forward to the most turn out to be a huge let down. As Freddy Woo puts it, "High heels in bed? No fun at all. Porn has a lot to answer for."
Well, Freddy, you are supposed to get someone else to wear them.
What's disappointed you lot?

1) lessons in how to breathe (slowly);
2) rate your moods and assign them percentages.
That doesn't sound like CBT to me... It sounds like the pissant government-funded knockoff, not dissimilar to Channel handbags from Thailand. A similar thing happens when you're unemployed - you get sent to Job Club. Let me tell you, government-funded "career counselling" bears no resemblance to the real thing that people with jobs get (and pay through the eyeballs for).
What CBT is supposed to do is get you somewhere near rationality, avoiding extremist thought, etc. Is it very realistic that "everyone hates me"? Not really... although the realistic alternative, that no one actually gives a fuck about you, probably doesn't help much.
The person who comes up with a therapy for people who really *are* ugly, useless and unloved should win a Nobel Prize.
