CBT would not be used to help someone ignore or forget an A in my experience
.
No, nor should it ever be seen as a means to doing this.If in this unfortunate position, one needs to learn from an A, not forget it, painful though that may be.
CBT also helped me divide things into those I could do something about and those I couldn't.
It broke things down into managable pieces rather than just looking at the big picture and feeling totally overwhelmed.
It taught me to put those things that were out of my control into 'little boxes' which I shelved until I reached a point were I could deal with them, whilst at the same time encouraging me to find ways to deal with those things I could deal with in a more positive and effective way.
It is a method that can be applied to many areas of life.
