CBT covers a wide range of subject matter not all of which will be relevant to you, Rosie. It certainly isn't bedtime reading! But it is worth looking into any "automatic negative thoughts" (ANTs) which occur without ever being consciously scrutinised. Things like "I am never very lucky" and "This stuff always happens to me".
I have a CBT counsellor with whom I work to tackle some of the unhelpful "core beliefs" which I developed a very long time ago. (stuff like "I’m a failure" and "I must be perfect or no one will love me").
