Cognitive therapy seeks to alleviate psychological stresses by correcting faulty conceptions and self-signals. By correcting erroneous beliefs we can lower excessive reactions

The trouble with most therapy is that it helps you feel better. But you don’t get better. You have to back it up with action, action, action.
