A bit of a digression, but ... I don't think I mentioned this at the time, but during that post-ordination training session that went to absolute hell, one of the evangelicals tried to argue that the "depression is sin" approach is basically just like CT, because they're both about telling people that they're thinking the wrong thoughts.

I did not have the emotional strength to try to disentangle this or even to stay in that particular conversation more than ten seconds after she said that. And I'm still finding it surprisingly hard to get into words why the difference between "these thoughts are unrealistic and causing you unnecessary suffering" and "your thoughts are wrong" is so profoundly important.
