Yes, I agree. I also see a lot of negative patterns of thinking I have everywhere throughout my life. I've had them since such a young age and I really don't know how to pull myself out of them,I could think of heaps of evidence against my negative thoughts but they still feel just as strong, they're so automatic and feel 100% true. I just find CBT and "Thinking Positively" unhelpful although that's perhaps my negative thoughts and thinking saying it's unhelpful!
