I agree with a lot of this. @goodhabitcoach
It would be good if you could cite some specific examples of alternative and holistic care.
I am not opposed to any alternative, but we need data-driven results.

The “tools” you mention, must be made explicit to the average person who is unfamiliar with any behavioral concepts. It would be helpful if you could give examples of these tools, to which you are referring.
I would like to make this industry much clearer, substantial, evidence-based, technology-aided, and intuitive to navigate. We must be realists.
We must identify any ideological departure from the goal of sustained sanity.
The model for psychotherapy has split into many subdivisions and modalities.
I am concerned with this broad range of “types”, and the efficacy of using one method versus another. The application of methods that are conducted:
are they being weighed against each other, long-term?
Does each practitioner have a structure for their treatment that is truly productive, or, are their patients being lulled into a perpetual state of dependency?
A person looking for mental-health support is faced with this list of therapy types. How is it possible for someone who is struggling, to understand what “mode” they should be working with, and not wasting their time and money?
