Oh that cracks me up!!!!!
HAHAHA!!!!!
What is so very funny about it is that the CBT theorists are typically highly critical of insight oriented therapy for the following reason:
How can you tell whether someone has insight?
If they have insight then they change their behaviour...
If they do not have insight then they do not change their behaviour...The thought here is that 'insight' is just so much bollocks and one is best to forget about it.
But here she is saying
How do you know someone is doing cog. restructuring properly?
Because they change their behaviour.
How do you know someone is not doing cog. restructuring properly?
Becuase they are not changing their behaviour.By the same argument:
One would be best off forgetting about cog. restructuring..HAHAHA
I do so love it when it comes back to bite them on the *ss!!
Sorry.
My issues.I know how hard it can be where you wonder whether something must be wrong with you - or whether they acutually aren't making a hell of a lot of sense.
((Racer))
I think your responses were about spot on.
Good luck with your new new t.
:-)
