While the vast majority of people may not be paying attention to their core beliefs, counselors use the session to break down instances in which the individual experienced an automatic thought as a response to a trigger. Triggers can occur multiple times per day and may have a lasting impact on the mood and behavior of the client throughout the following days (Linehan, 1993). As the client has worked to complete the trigger diary, the counselor works with the client to explore and identify the automatic thoughts of the client when compared to a list of cognitive distortions. The counselor can introduce to the client a worksheet to provide psychoeducation regarding cognitive distortions. (Multiple free sources of information about cognitive distortions exist on the internet.) When reviewing the list of cognitive distortions, it is recommended that the counselor reconnect to an instance that the patient has provided and directly work with the patient on identifying which distortions they have experienced (Beck, 2011).

Beck's cognitive therapy for depression has been adapted for use in bipolar affective disorder. The cognitive model of hypomania regards it as a mirror image of depression which is characterized by a positive cognitive triad of self, world and future, and positive cognitive distortions.264 Positive cognitive distortions include: jumping to positive conclusions (‘I'm a winner; I can do anything’)underestimation of risk (‘there's no danger here; I can surmount anything’)minimization of problems (‘nothing can go wrong’)overvaluation of immediate gratification (‘they should do what I want now’)

Cognitive distortions refer to biased patterns or ways of thinking that one possesses about oneself and the world, and lead to misrepresentation or distortion of a person’s perception of reality. Cognitive distortions can feed negative emotions and lead to an overall negative outlook of the world and consequently a depressive or anxious mental state. The term cognitive distortion was originally used by Beck to describe idiosyncratic thought content in patients suffering from depression (Beck, 1963). In his work with depressed patients, Beck defined six systematic errors in thinking which were extended by his followers to include other types of cognitive distortions.

Cognitive distortions include abuse-supportive beliefs, justifications for their behavior, denial of abuse, minimization, or excusing sexual activity with children (Ó Ciardha & Ward, 2013; Helmond et al., 2015). They enable the CSO to break down moral and psychological barriers toward the sexual abuse of children (Winder et al., 2015). Prior research has shown that CSOs often deny or minimize their offending to a greater extent than non-sexual offenders (Dietz, 2020; Ware et al., 2020). This is likely, in part, related to the societal stigma and subsequent shame associated with the perpetration of CSA (Dietz, 2020). Ware et al. (2020) identified that low IQ and older age are associated with an increased likelihood of denying CSA but this is yet to be examined with CSOs who evaded detection for long periods. It is hypothesized that CSOs with multiple victims and delayed detection (MVDD) will have more entrenched cognitive distortions, perhaps because they have had more time for those distortions to develop and become reinforced.

Participants described several other strategies for empowering TGE individuals, as well. Some felt that processing their emotions with their counselors heightened their self-awareness and contributed to their personal growth beyond the immediate therapeutic context. Others found that bringing their loved ones to therapy sessions helped them communicate with them more effectively. For instance, one participant described a session with their counselor during which they were able to deconstruct cognitive distortions that adversely affected their social interactions: I was like, “none of my friends like me!” and he was like, “don’t your friends want to spend time with you and tell you they like you?” and I was like “they’re lying!” and he was like “why would they spend energy lying about that … ?” It’s more than just like, “no you’re wrong, here’s what’s really happening.” It made me realize for myself that I was wrong.

Among different techniques used to promote self-perception is cognitive counseling (Botvin & Griffin, 2007). According to the cognitive-behavioral therapists, if people receive proper training and their cognitive faults are detected and modified, they will have an appropriate behavior as well as a fruitful life (Dousteian et al., 2013). The main theme of the Cognitive-Behavior Therapy and behavior change theory is how individuals’ thoughts determine their behaviors and feelings. Cognitive therapists recognize cognitive distortions and help their patients understand their mistakes and change their thoughts (Botvin & Griffin, 2007). In this regard some studies have shown that group cognitive interventions on social phobia was caused a significant decrease in self-reported negative thoughts (Hofmann, Moscovitch, Kim, & Taylo, 2004) and among visually impaired male could significantly increase the self-concept (Yaghotian, Soleimanian, & Darrodi, 2016). Hence, the present study aimed to determine the impact of cognitive-behavioral counseling on self-perception of clients receiving methadone maintenance treatment.
