What if something works even if the arguments are unscientific? Example: How to get an apple from high up in the tree where I can't reach? My theory is that if I knock them with a baseball bat they fall because they are afraid of baseball bats and don't want to be hit. I have tested it and it works. A physics teacher I know disagrees, and a biologist disagrees.

What if psychology has such things that just work even if the theory is wrong? The trauma healing layman psychology industry might have a method that works for some people, so that they get into a better mental state.

Yeah I think there's no point denying that we humans need and are affected by narratives. At least on the psychological level, which, in turn, may have impact on the body as well.

Science has no problem admitting something works without knowing why. Making stuff up to sell a book is preying on vulnerable people.
