This is not exactly true. If it is difficult to motivate yourself to do something, this is a massive problem of the intervention as motivation is exactly the thing depressed people lack.
My thinking was that you can choose to be one of the people who is sufficiently committed, though I acknowledge that this may not be realistic. I just added “If you’re sufficiently committed, the expected benefits that you stand to gain from self-help CBT.”
So? If I’m trying to get over depression, I just want to know if that method works. Not if failure can somehow be attributed to me.

I interpreted that bit as “If you’re the kind of person who is able to do this kind of thing, then self-administered CBT is a great idea.”
