I'm not disagreeing with your points. Eclectic and wholistic may be good, using methods from different traditions may be great, and experience with the tools and multiple ways of approaching a client may be good too. I'm sure there are expert clinicians that are extremely specifik about a few techniques that they use very well and others that rely on more techniques and get the same result.

The opening question is although how to adress cognitive restructuring and change of beliefs. If some techniques are irrelevant I want to know so I can do other stuff. EMDR is one method which has been "proven" to use only exposure and no additional component. The technique with the eyes is not useful.

Thanks for joining the conversation!
