b. Direct observation

Cognitive therapy suggest exploring unexamined beliefs can produce insight into the reasons for disturbed thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. However, instead of believing that a change occurs because of insight, cognitive therapists suggest that negative self-talk (the unrealistic things a person tells himself or herself) is most important. Through a process called cognitive restructuring, this insight allows clients to challenge their thoughts, change how they interpret events, and modify mal-adaptive behaviors
