Question 2 of 5

This demonstrates progress in cognitive restructuring, a key component of cognitive-behavioral therapy. Choice B reflects a pattern of negative thinking without self-reflection, while choice C indicates a fear of failure in trying new things.

C: Discussing the accident within the family only may limit the support and healing that can come from seeking help outside the family circle.
