I personally blame insurance execs (specifically, the rise of "managed care") and 40+ years of underfunding CMH more so than CBT itself... but "coloniz[ing] all forms of psychological suffering" is a good way to frame the problem

CBT also seems to subside the therapist’s fear of not “doing enough” to the client. Teach a few skills and you can pat yourself on the back for a job well done. CBT+Managed Care has diluted psychotherapy down from an exploratory process of understanding a client’s psychology into “fixing” them.

It’s created a fantasy of what therapy “should be” versus what it actually is.
