I'd like to hear about people's most successful approaches or styles (even if unconventional), that helped them to overcome or at least get their various struggles under control.

So for example, Sinclair Method (naltrexone) [baclofen adjuvant] --> problem drinking.

Talk therapy. And, at times, medication, though this is for a diagnosed condition. Therapy is the way to go. Aggressively ditch therapists who don't feel like a good fit and keep trying till you get one that feels right.

I'm not sure if aggressively ditching therapists is the way to go... you have to get to know them in order for anything to work. I mean, leave if it feels wrong, but you should be hesitant to leave.

I saw someone for maybe a month who would say, "Thank you for sharing that with me." That's not how I operate.

My experience is that for every good therapist you can find, you'll try at least one bad one getting to them. I've been in therapy for decades and lost good therapists to me relocating and one retiring, so three good ones and three that were shit in between.
