Oh right. Reading this from random user, who seemingly has no training on therapy or psychology makes sense.

Similar to reading how a database should be built from a web developer.

Considering how hard actual quality training of a psychologist is, this is even more crazy

There's nothing crazy with suspecting that causality has not been established. If we're not psychologists or psychiatrists, then we have even more cause to wait for clinical studies. If you are a psychologist or psychiatrist, you still might not be remotely equipped to run clinical studies.

If you don't want to be "crazy" then you need a higher threshold for accepting these anecdotes as generalizable causal theory, because otherwise you'd be incoherently jerked left and right all the time.
