Thought it might be useful to have a thread to monitor UK media of the current push in CBT, talking therapy.
There was a phone in today on BBC Radio 2 (Jeremy Vine); primarily about anxiety but they went into the whole mind/body thing, fight or flight response and mentioned TATT (tired all the time), not being able to get out of bed etc. ME/CFS were not mentioned.
Although, these treatments are valid/useful for a lot of recognised mental illnesses, we are all seeing where this is heading. With all the stuff about PACE still being largely ignored by the UK media it might be an idea to keep an eye on what is receiving coverage.
ETA: just remembered they also talked about 'achievers'....alarm bells were ringing
