CBT seems like psychotherapy's response to psychiatry's drugs... see we also have a "drug" that can be used to control symptoms (while leaving root causes untouched). Seems negative thoughts are an adaptation, and rather than stopping them, the point should be to understand their origin, especially for those with trauma history or significant difficulties.
Thanks for this!
