This article reminds me a lot of my personal experience with cognitive behavioural therapy.

I've long suffered from social anxiety and after years of anti-anxiety drugs and some therapy, I finally tried CBT and it was essentially:

- write down the thoughts

- identify what triggered them

- find alternative (positive) conclusions

At first I thought it was ridiculous but it actually works after a while.

And some people pay thousands to have them those things explained

Well when you are depressed/anxious or just in a bad state of mind it is very difficult to follow simply steps; But thankfully I didn't need to pay since my university offered free mental health support
