I must admit that CBT is one of the best therapeutic tools available, but unfortunately it can fail many people because CBT assumes
it's all in the mind. It is wrongly assumed that bad and illogical thoughts cause bad emotions. This overlooks completely that an unhealthy body is unable to produce the feel good neurotransmitters so necessary in feeling good and being logical!
In counselling we need to eliminate FIRST of all any source of ill-health that prevents the body from producing serotonin.
Thus BIOCHEMISTRY COMES BEFORE PSYCHOLOGY.
