Oh, to be fair, NLP proposed the meta model, which was based on how Virginia Satir would solve people's problems by just getting them to be more specific, in a skilful way. This would highlight how our thinking can change how we experience things, through what they called deletions, generalisations and distortions.

CBT does something very similar with how it focuses on making language more realistic and less emotive.

So there are similarities in that sense.
