And when it's kind of pointed out to me, it makes a lot of sense that changing the way one thinks is really, really hard too. And that's just the most obvious and glaring thing I learnt from this lecture-book. I hope I come back to it, or if not, reaserch and learn to use the tools of CBT some way.
