What is cognitive behavioral therapy for treatment of depression? What is it all about? Please explain? Could someone who has actually had this explain what it is all about. I don't want to get a copy and paste answer from a web page somewhere, just a simple explanation in plain simple terms that I could relate to.A. You mention "for example thoughts of worthlessness"
Could anyone identify other examples of these types of thoughts?
I struggle the most with guilt and shame.
Others:
What others think of me being a recovering alcoholic, someone who has depression, having a son who has been in a penitentiary several times.
---
What can anyone really do about these thoughts anyway. I have not come up with anything that works except to offer them all back up to God and let them all go.
What else could a professional come up that is any better than that? I would really like to know. Otherwise, what good would it really do?
