Its more about finding out your faulty believes that are negative and put yourself and your life down and find positive, truer ways to look at things.

Cognitive therapy will re-direct your thinking toward what is reality. It stems from a latin word which means “to know”. And in fact, it will help you to know the world around you and relate to it in a realistic manner. The questions are a good way for the therapist to know how you perceive things and its really helpful.
Example: Someone sees a cognitive therapist because they are having serious trouble at work with a coworker whom they think is trying to sabotage their work. Its time to talk about this in depth. The therapist will ask you to be specific and tell them about this coworker. The therapist will ask you to document this coworkers behavior in depth. Write down as much as you can and give as many examples as possible. The result: Maybe the coworker is trying to sabotage your work and if so, you need to get control of the situation and the coworker and the therapist will give you those skills to do that. Or, maybe it is just your perception of the coworker and there is not a realistic reason for your feeling like this. In this case, the therapist will explore this with you and re-direct the way you think about this situation so that you gain resolution.
