MODERATORS
Likely to be an unpopular comment, but a lot of people use this mindset to avoid practicing making the subtle but consistent changes in their thought patterns that they would need to to break out of and away from depression-causing thought patterns.
"You should start incorporating small gratitude practices into your daily life to eventually train your brain to focus on less negative aspects of the world"
=/=
"Can't you just cheer up."
I guess the better way to phrase it to normies is that this is definitely not a change that happens overnight. It can take years even.
I believe you just described cognitive behavioral therapy.
Almost in exact terms, yes. You should've seen the other guy in the thread that ran with the assumption that I was telling people to not go to therapy...?
