To really dislike the Speakmans?

[saery]

Just seen them on This Morning.
They make me absolutely savage and I sometimes find the way they try to change peoples' 'thoughts' on a traumatic experience, slightly condescending.

I don't completely understand CBT tbh, maybe it's just not suitable for me specifically and perhaps it does work for certain people.

AIBU?

Yes. They obviously help a lot of people.
Though they were saying GAD doesn’t exist.. it does

I am not keen on televised therapy/councilling anyway and i agree about the speakmans they are condescending and act like the nanosecond phone in change lives, people who are struggiling might get a peak of positivity but that might fade when the phone convo stops it makes me really uncomfy.

Their thoughts on GAD were dodgy to say the least

I think the many people they have helped would say YABU

I wonder how long their help works for? If it does have long term effects.

They renamed the track to their house 'Speakman Lane' and used to drive around like lord and lady of the manor in a bright yellow Hummer

I agree , they are arrogant , condescending and irritating.

GAD definitely exists !

They have also been selling their book and DVD on QVC. They appear to help people, but I always wonder how long it lasts for.

If people go to them over a number of sessions and those people feel better great but phone ins and dismissing anxiety disorders on tv isn't great imo. I felt the same when paul mckenna was in vogue.
