Hello, everyone:

Yesterday, I watched a video on CBT. (Search for "kati morton" + "cbt" on YouTube, and it should be the first vid to come up.) One of the suggestions was to track your thoughts, and then questions the underlying assumptions behind those.

Obviously, I don't expect "results" after a day. But what I'm already having difficulty with is this: When I reach those underlying assumptions, that doesn't change anything.

I don't want to give away too much personal information. But I think the issue, for me, is that even though I can challenge those underlying assumptions, I know that they're still based on parts of me that are out of my control. For instance, I've had experiences with the examples she uses in the video, and I can use the technique to come to terms with similar situations, etc. in my life. But what I'm suffering has little to nothing to do with people wronging me and the like.

Does anyone have any insight here?

Thanks for reading my post.
