Reply to comment by DoomGoober in eli5 what is the point of therapy? by dumbass__stupid

Licensed Counselor here. CBT is still a good, evidence based therapy. However, CBT is beginning to wane in popularity, while acceptance- and mindfulness-based approaches are gaining steam (most notably Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy).

ACT seems to share a lot of traits with mindful meditation practices. Very interesting. Thanks again.

Sure! If you're looking where to start, Happiness Trap (2nd edition) by Russ Harris is incredible.
