This is one of the safest and most effective types of therapy around imo. It's basis is educate, build skills, and solve problems. Most of ppl's thinking occurs because of what their habits of response are...depending upon yes, childhood, and other environmental events...

by realizing OH! I always think that way about myself because... gives you the underlying cause to your (emotional?) response. It also allows you to reframe it with... I USED to react that way, but now that I know why I always did... I can change it so I'm not affected negatively by such a thing.

It's really good...and useful for the rest of your life! TC!
