Is that what cbt is.
My understanding it’s challenging the thoughts, replacing the thoughts with more positive new ones and putting new ones into practice.

CBT is about making rational decisions and being able to recognise irrational thought. It helps with problem solving aswell as stress management.

I do CBT. We do nothing more than discuss about vicious cycles, emotions, thoughts and situations. It hasn’t helped me much for two reasons: Firstly although we talk about vicious cycles in my life, we have not spoken for solutions, how to get out of these cycles, and I must tell that my therapist. The second thing is that I don’t have a good memory, and I have to read again and again what we have done up until now.
CBT is very much embedded in common sense - I did extensive CBT and I found it to involve too much thinking - I prefer some DBT techniques like visualization and deep breathing - some mindfulness etc…
Honestly walking has helped stabilize some of my moods and anxiety at times, better than therapy
I found that the CBT I did helped me replace negative habits with positive ones. Dealing with Sz symptoms is only half of the issue. The condition warps our behaviour as well so that we become a traveling collection of unhealthy habits. You can remove the illness overnight and we’ll still have trouble functioning because of bad behaviours that have become so ingrained. Anything that challenges a person to make a change for the positive is worth doing.
