Exzactly! Cognitive distortions are changed by constantly correcting what we think which in turn changes what we feel. It's a process, but it works expressly well for PTSD...

so I have to keep believing my T when he corrects me on a distortion (ten main ones) and accept what he says to be true, state it to myself and sometimes out loud in therapy too... so that the brain is rewired for proper thinking... and then the feelings change with it.
