I think the true results of CBT are cumulative. It is not the successful reframing of a single event that produces change in depression scores, but the gradual improvement in core beliefs that comes from repeated reframings. It is a top-down therapy rather than a bottom up therapy. Results come rapidly because the automatic negative thoughts are extinguished so quickly. This, in turn, starts the process of improving one's self-esteem as intermediate beliefs become more positive.

It works for me, anyway.
