Discussing acceptance and commitment therapy in ME/CFS.

[NelliePledge]

And commitment has the old fashioned connotation of being “committed to an asylum”

I don't know if it is just me, but Acceptance and Commitment Therapy sounds disturbingly like "Accept the Lord into your heart, give your life to Him, and your pain will be taken away." In other words it sounds like religious brainwashing.

I'm reading about it now and it's like CBT crossed with mindfulness. Kind of a rehash. Really can't see how it can be therapeutic for ME/CFS.
Ka-ching for the psychs.

Acceptance of their right to be exploitative charlatans at our expense, and the Commitment to make sure it happens.

Two of our most trusted pain experts were consulted before making this decision.

Oh well that's all right then, let's just pick two people to trust and leave it there.

I wonder who these trustworthy experts were, and why the editor chose them?
