Okay. What were you doing CBT for?

I’m not doing CBT anymore. I used to for autism related anxiety issues but I stopped with therapy after my psychologist told me there was little left he could do for me.

Basically, psychology is just modern day quackery.

As I do not have autism, I cannot relate to your viewpoint. It is possible that psychology is not going to help you - but it did help me and has helped many people, so I wouldn't be so dismissive of it. My advice for you after days of going back and forth on here: you should try being a bit more open minded. I've met a lot of smart people who are right about a ton of things related to their area of expertise who think that this competency carries over to other areas where they are less knowledgeable. It's best to avoid being one of those people.
