My partner became super anxious and would start crying and dissociating - that was why they stopped.

Things don't get dismissed as having a placebo effect, it is not a matter of opinion, it is a matter of science.
Now I don't know about the research available for this particular technique and for all I know perhaps there is just one badly done study that came to the conclusion that it's not more effective than a placebo, again, I don't know that, but generally referring to a placebo effect is not dismissive, it's scientific.
