Thanks for your thoughts and for taking the time to write all the points you mentioned. I will try to address them one by one:
- You mentioned ALL research says symptoms return after 12 sessions + CBT being not effective: I will quote: "..on average, 40 months after the end of therapy. A long-term benefit was also seen in terms of remission of symptoms. In view of the fact that, at baseline, most CoBalT participants had severe and chronic depression, with physical or psychological comorbidity, or both, these results are noteworthy and have clear implications for clinical practice." from https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanpsy/article/PIIS2215-0...
- Re: £80 for 50 minutes in person 1 session Vs £80 for month-long support
- We don't aim to replace human therapists or the profound human elements you mentioned—intuition, transference, and interpersonal relationships. Instead, we aim to augment and complement. Ideally, we would like to place ourselves as proving support between sessions.
- We're not saying this approach is for everyone or every situation, but we do believe it can help where traditional therapy might be inaccessible.
- For confidentiality, we have BAA / HIPPA compliant
I’d be happy to discuss further if you have additional thoughts.
This is a form of personal attack and putting someone's LinkedIn profile.
If you think you are Sherlock - I must say go and read the comment twice - it reads loosely "It can be useful, didn't think about this" It is an honest comment. And I did share the launch with my friends/family/network today. Even we never planned this feature - it was the user who suggested this and we built this feature in two days.
