condense: Cognitive Restructuring is a key element of DC's cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), aimed at helping him identify and challenge anxious thoughts to replace them with more adaptive beliefs. These anxious thoughts often arise from misconceptions or cognitive distortions, contributing to his anxiety about family safety and school bullying. During therapy sessions, DC will be encouraged to articulate his fears and examine evidence for and against these thoughts by asking questions like, "What supports this fear?" and "What contradicts it?" This critical evaluation promotes a shift towards more positive, rational thinking patterns, ultimately helping to reduce his overall anxiety levels
