Though the subject matter may be familiar, the source may come as a surprise, at least to some. The HHS is 'coming out' about its support for CBT and GET - thanks to the support of patients who helped legitimize P2P and IOM.

Many with condition are afraid exercise will make the condition worse.
Therapists Must Ease Patients' Fear When Treating Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: Study
WEDNESDAY, Jan. 14, 2015 (HealthDay News) -- Easing fears that exercise may worsen symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome is crucial in efforts to prevent disability in people with the condition, a new study says.
Chronic fatigue syndrome is a complex condition, characterized by overwhelming fatigue that is not improved by bed rest, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Treatments are aimed at reducing patients' fatigue and improving physical function, such as the ability to walk and do everyday tasks.
A previous study found that people with chronic fatigue syndrome benefit from two types of counseling: cognitive behavioral therapy, or graded exercise therapy, a personalized and gradually increasing exercise program.
This new study looked at how the two approaches can help patients. "By identifying the mechanisms whereby some patients benefit from treatment, we hope that this will allow treatments to be developed, improved or optimized," said study leader Trudie Chalder, a professor of cognitive behavioral psychotherapy at King's College London in England.
