I sometimes like to think of CBT as being more of a coping tool to be used while other therapies are administered and gain momentum.
I think CBT can reach surprisingly deep into one's psyche, but it takes a good therapist to help determine where to dig. It takes an understanding of the CBT paradigm and process for it to work best. If you don't focus on the dynamics between automatic thoughts > intermediate beliefs > core beliefs, you're not doing it right.
Some people say that CBT is worse than no therapy at all. I don't understand this.
