I'd say sometimes it is. PD is just replacing one box/mental framework for another. If the new framework you live within has more space than the old one, bravo! If it is just a different set of limitations and rules, no real new ground has been uncovered.

From what I've seen, PD doesn't really embrace the concept and the reality of denial. Believing that you're not something (not healthy, not wealthy enough, not tall enough, etc.), or will "make it" when I attain this goal, or that my life depends on me following a process to get it to come out right, says you're still in denial of what is. And life may be as simple as a change in perspective to focusing on what is vs what isn't.
