Wow, great question.
Cognitive Behavioral therapy, is simple looking at how your thoughts shape what you think and act. We call it “cognitive Distortions.” Such as “no one likes me.” Where in reality, that’s not true, but that’s what makes this a cognitive distortion. So in an individual therapy session, they will listen to you and see what your thoughts are and how that effects your feelings and actions and hopefully provide some therapeutic corrective advise,. Hope that helps, great question, you are very smart!
