Efficacy of Therapies and Courage to Use Your Own Reason

[Guest guest]

Hi all,Attached are three PDFs.  I've been thinking the past few hours about what is the efficacy of ACT and REBT and other therapies on different things and I've looked at several papers on this.  I attached two studies here because they seem similar in a way and about the efficacy of ACT, Systematic Desensitization on math anxiety and one paper on efficacy of REBT on test anxiety.  It's seems they are all work.  Interesting that perhaps they work differently.  I have quite a bit of reservation about all therapies, not just ACT, but other 3rd waves and CBT and REBT.  And I have a little bit of skepticism about the studies. 

The other PDF attached is Kant on What is Enlightenment?  In it he states " Have courage to use your own reason! " .   This is something I try to do.  Spending too much time in conversation on this list on ACT/FC/RFT or reading and studying the ACT books or talking to a therapist can be counter productive.  Better to act and live my life using my own reasoning.   So instead of living my life according ACT/FC/RFT, I want to take what I learned in ACT/FC/RFT and incorporate parts of it into my own reasoning and philosophy and use that to live my life.
