I paid $24000+ to attend seminars and learn this method of overcoming psychological stress, it has helped many people with all sorts of problems ranging from anxiety, depression, post traumatic, post natal, bi polar, stress relating to illness, bereavement or body issues including weight issues and eating issues. Appeal to authority is a logical fallacy anyway, it isn't a must that I have a degree in psychology.
I do have a degree in psychology. Seminars like that are designed to hook you in and steal your money. I paid my money for a degree that qualifies me to assess you as an irrational person. The fact that you would spend an obscene amount of money to hear seminars by charlatans confirms my assessment.
Religion has been claimed to help many people with all sorts of things too. It's not a cure, just a temporary trick of the mind.
You're extremely young. It's obvious.
