Solid post my friend. What I find really interesting about CBT and also REBT (Rational Emotive Behavioural Therapy) is that they're both build on the Stoic philosophy (well referenced by its founders). At least in my world coming from a "Stoic background" this gives immense credibility. So in many ways they have taken and built upon the best methods and packaged it in a contemporary manner, fascinating.

Good post as always!
