Yes, I never said that CBT is completely correct in every regard. I was just shocked to see an articles based on a book that mentions souls on Hacker News. CBT is actually researched and quite effective unlike the book of former chakra practitioner Karla McLaren. We cannot change emotions directly, we can only change our thoughts and it will change our emotions. I recommend reading Beck directly in addition to counseling, it really helps. Sadly some psychologists are not great. Wish you the best!
