The counselor and client can then break down what that assumption means to the client and whether or not it should be considered reasonable or distorted.

It works by verbally saying stop or picturing a stop sign and force themselves to stop their train of thought. Roleplaying is another effective way to verbalize thoughts and challenge underlying assumptions, changing them into more positive thoughts, preventing catastrophizing or jumping to conclusions caused by cognitive distortions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to teach people to recognize and change their negative and irrational thoughts and beliefs (Corey, 2017). CBT methods focus on changing perceptions, beliefs, and thought processes to create positive behavioral changes (Corey, 2017).

It is believed the most influential model in treatment methods of depression has been Aaron Beck’s cognitive theory of depression (Beck 1976). Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is the most widely practised branch of psychotherapy. It was developed in the seventies by Professor Aaron T Beck.

Therapists’, who are not receptive to the awareness of their flow of thoughts and feelings, will not be able to help clients be aware of theirs (Kahn, 1997, p. 40).
