I would find it surprising if different meditations techniques did not differ significantly from one another, but did differ significantly from sitting still with your eyes closed. Similarly, if training doesn't significantly affect psychotherapeutic efficacy, then I would expect psychotherapy not to differ significantly from talking things through with a friend.
Rather, I expect psychotherapy not to differ from talking with a sympathetic person whose social approval you don't need. People self-censor when talking to friends, even good friends.
Interesting. That's a specific benefit of psychotherapists that hadn't occurred to me.
