Dr. Caroline Leaf - information and opinions?

In My Humble Opinion
1

Someone is touting this person’s work as a sure-fire way for me to overcome my fairly severe fear of heights. The claims are that new discoveries in neuro-science can be used to talk yourself out of negative thoughts. I can’t make much more out of it than that, and I don’t see what new discoveries in neuro-science she is talking about. I presume I have to buy the book(s) or subscribe to the online program to find out.

I am looking for a serious way to evaluate her claims before actually giving her any of my money. If what she has to offer has real value I will be more than happy to pay for it. But my woo radar is strong with this one.

Snappy answers are not what I am looking for, though of course some of you will provide them anyway. This is a search for understanding.

Thank you for your snappy reply.

Lots of evangelical Christian philosophy. Maybe that floats your boat, but the rest seems like psych 101 levels of science.

Red flag. Can nearly always be replaced with “stupid shit I just made up” with no effective difference.

NO ONE should be treating people with “new discoveries”. A new discovery needs to be thoroughly tested for efficacy and safety before it’s used on real patients. By then, it’s not a “new discovery”. It’s established science.

Doctor Philosophiae with specialization in Communication Pathology from University of Pretoria South Africa, and a Masters in Speech Therapy. Does this qualify her to be an expert in neuroscience?
