How to think is not What you think

I touched on this on a previous thread, but How one thinks is different than What they think.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is extremely beneficial in how it teaches a person to change their "way" of thinking, but it doesn't changes their thoughts themselves.

For example, when I began therapy I was extremely angry and told the counsellor "I'm angry because people don't do enough to genuinely help people with depression".

I learned through therapy that my way of thinking was flawed in that I let my anger prevent me from moving forward. That doesn't mean that WHAT I thought was wrong;people do not do enough.

What is important is that what we think is not wrong, it may only need to be re-framed.
