Many people wonder how dreams can be interpreted. They think that dreams are confused images that can have many different meanings, depending on the dreamer who sees them in a dream. This concept it totally wrong. It was generated by false dream interpreters who never tried to discover the hidden code of the dream language.
Only Carl Jung could decipher this code and translate dream symbols into comprehensible words.
The problem with Cognitive Therapy is… well… the therapy. If someone needs cognitive therapy how do you know the therapist and the curriculum he/she is using is able to change faulty thinking errors and self-defeating behaviors? There are thousands of therapists each with their own interpretations and curriculum. Few if any are evidence based with proof that what they are using is correct and highly effective. Almost any counseling program can claim it is cognitive therapy, but few if any can prove it works.
In a sense cognitive therapy is a misnomer. The definition of therapy is the treatment of illness or disability. The use of cognitive therapy in mental illness is largely ineffective because you can’t use cognitive restructuring training on someone who is not cognitive. The same holds true to criminals. Cognitive therapy is ineffective on criminals for the same reason, because they are not yet cognitive.
In English grammar, ‘but’ might be a conjunction, an adverb or a proposition expressing an opposition, an exception or a contrast in relation to one or more mentioned elements. NLP experts assign a higher value to the this term since it is interpreted as truly engaging word, a manipulating linguistic device which enables the speaker to astutely grab listener’s attention on a particular topic and to make him consider the matter from a particular point of view.
The word but is an extremely powerful device, yet it has a contrastive feature which might put into a bad light the opposing element.
