There's nothing wrong with blaming things on maladaptive thoughts and behaviors. Those maladaptive thoughts and behaviors are caused by trauma you've experienced and it is important to correct cognitive distortions that hinder you.

So what you’re telling me is that my depression is not because of the traumatic events I experienced growing up but instead of me spending money?

Got it.

Thanks, doctor.

CBT is incredibly ass but it's the only therapy I can seem to get for free. Makes you think

There is, not everything is based on maladaptive thoughts and patterns, anr CBT also doesn't address the trauma itself, only the symptoms. Now a really good therapist may use other forms of therapy and not just dogmatically apply CBT, but the focus on it can still be problematic.

Part of that is the issue with the whole focus on "efficiency", since it's a lot lower cost than other forms of treatment, and part of the problem is also the fact that opposition to psychoanalysis and anything associated with it has become the religion of academic institutions.

Most therapist take a holistic approach. You seem the be the one dogmatically applying principles to therapist.

And I disagree that there is opposition to psychoanalysis and anything associated with it. Psychoanalytic theory is one of the major principles you learn towards a psychology or social work degree. In addition, trauma informed care is also widespread in academic institutions and behavioral health service providers.

Didn't I say that psychologists don't apply CBT dogmatically?

And nah there is definitely opposition to psychoanalysis lmao. It differs in countries, but the prevailing school of thought dismisses psychoanalysis in academic psychology circles because of Karl Popper's critique of Freud. Idk if you've studied psychology in the US if it's different there I would be surprised, but here in the Netherlands Freud is mostly learned about as a historical figure rather than somebody whose theories have any relevance in practice. It's gone so far that psychoanalysis is not even covered by insurance anymore.

I think psychology as a practice is really suffering from wanting to qualify itself as scientific under the narrow constraints of falsifiability.
