CBT has undergone successful scientific trials in many places by different teams and has been applied to various problems. The Importance of Negative Thoughts work might think, "I have to do well all the time. If I don't, people will reject me." Such a rule for a living (known as a dysfunctional assumption) may do well for the person and help them work hard. But if something happens beyond their control and they experience failure, the dysfunctional thought pattern may be triggered. The person may begin to have automatic thoughts like, "I've completely failed. No one will like me. I can't face them." Cognitive-behavioral therapy acts to help the person understand that this is what's happening. What this may involve will vary. For example, at the start of the therapy, the therapist might ask the client to keep a diary of any incidents that provoke feelings of anxiety or Depression so that they can examine thoughts surrounding the incident.
