Do you think an intro to CBT would be useful at a minicamp? It seems to me rationality applied to ones own thoughts about oneself (something that i am extremely irrational about)
Possibly! We considered it before but decided against it for a number of reasons. One was that CBT is its own thing, and none of us are formally trained in its use or in teaching it. Another is the unfortunate context of it being therapy, which tends to turn a lot of people off.
However, the latter effect didn’t seem to be relevant this last minicamp. That has caused me to update in favor of at least suggesting an overview of the process. And I think I’d be quite comfortable providing an overview. So we might bring it up—but I’d guess only in the July camp due to time considerations, if at all.
