Comment on Emotions: A Code Bookparent

There are aspects of CBT that are essentially gaslighting ourselves

Could you be more specific? I'm another patient undergoing CBT, and I've found it overall helpful in managing BPD. I'm curious what you mean by this.

I don’t think you need to worry. Beck was literally writing down all his thoughts down for many months and analyzing them and that way he came up with the idea of CBT in the first place. It’s results oriented but when you reach your goals you can continue changing even the most inconsequential thoughts and emotions. No gaslighting involved. Quite the opposite)
