CBT is about challenging your automatic cognitive thoughts it doesn't change them right away and you need to keep up the work for awhile. In my experience it works best in a closed group setting where you can call on each other( in a nice non aggressive way) and say things like aren't you using all or nothing thinking right now? It helps to get feedback from others having the same problem and helps you recognize the thought distortions easier.
