You said (taken out of context admittedly):
'I've chosen to warn the "inexperienced" and "new to T patients" about Ts that are scientifically unfounded. '
That begs the question - are *any* forms of therapy scientifically founded? There are some that are "declared" valid based on empirical data, but I don't know of any test that can be done that will give a definitive answer to the question.
And even among methods, the results will vary by client willingness and therapist ability, to name a few.
So, if there is no way to "scientifically" validate a therapy method, it only boils down to one thing. An *individual* person with a *compatible experienced* therapist using a method that works between them, whatever it is.
So, wouldn't you agree that the bottom line is, basically, "whatever floats you boat?"
