CBT is a well-known psychotherapy approach that helps patients to achieve a better psychosocial adaptation by changing unhelpful thoughts or reducing conditioned fears, for example.
You can register from anywhere in the world. So might be an interesting experience with little downside and probably little relapse.
Reading about how they analyse their outcome and then sell it is probably not, but that is my problem not yours! ;-)
Here is their invitation.
YES! Australians leading the way in treatments of fluency and CBT! Go Oz!
