Therapist Growth Over Modality Hype

Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offer comparable outcomes, indicating that switching modalities may not yield significant benefits. The effectiveness of therapy often hinges more on the therapist's personal growth, intellectual development, and maturity rather than the techniques used. Continual self-improvement and vigilance against charismatic figures in the field are crucial for therapists. The interpretation of quantitative studies also requires critical evaluation, as one's beliefs can shape perceptions of evidence.
