It is always possible that what I consider being treated like a half witted moron is not how some others would perceive it. And certainly I imagine there are better and worse practitioners of it. Just giving my experience with it. It was horrible and damaging for me.
If it has worked for someone else - then good. Just not me. At all.

OP - there are those who advertise as eclectic and take from various schools of thought. I would recommend interviewing several of each type just to get a feel for it.
