I am no expert on CBT in average settings, I do know it can be used to go deeper if that is the intention. I agree, though, that suppression of symptoms is the usual path in modern treatment settings - for a variety of reasons, including convenience and a general lack of understanding of what is really needed. To some extent, the logic appears to be: "if the patient isn't screaming and I can tick the right boxes, then I'll get paid and a pat on the back".
