But what does that actually mean... working with it? It's all so vague.

I read a book by a psychologist who suggested therapy could rewire the brain and therapists are like neurosurgeons. But he said little about how that would actually happen. And he never mentioned the possibility that this brain rewiring might go wrong.

Most of these people seem blind to the risks, unable to articulate what they're selling, and prone to magical thinking... eg I can rewire your brain with my special relationship. Or it's salesmanship.
