==Psychological primary treatment and not secondary and supportive == In a better world, [[supportive counseling]], [[mindfulness]] and [[stress management]] should be given to those with [[chronic illness]] β this can be very helpful. Stress undoubtably can cause physical symptoms in the body. Yet this is very different to saying that stress, trauma or faulty emotional and mental patterns are the aetiology of a disease and the underlying disease mechanism and therefore the patient needs mindfulness-based techniques and a change in thought processes to be cured. You can not imagine that a cancer patient or Muscular Dystrophy patient to be only offered psychological cures. This is what has happened to ME patients for decades. This is also the basis of the therapies offered in the Gupta Program such as visualising yourself better, repeating phrases such as "soften and flow" and interrupting thoughts about your illness with gestures and phrases such as "stop stop stop" and other CBT methods of thought stopping. There are no diagnostic testing or physical interventions.{{citation needed | date = 2022}}
