I agree completely.

It's very frustrating to deal with people who apply NLP or lay-CBT on a regular basis. Especially when you are trying to have a rational conversation and they are wasting time trying to "learn about sub-modalities" or apply auditory anchors to things like acceptance or rejectance.

One person I work with occasionally very clearly thinks of himself as talented in mind control by applying these things. However, from the outside it's very apparent that they have simply poisoned his perspective to make him believe he is being successful.

In short, I wish people would stop wasting time propagating pseudoscience.
