The foundational ideas of cognitive therapies derive from Aaron Beck who identified certain patterns of thinking and feeling as being 'automatic'. As in, not deliberate until the patient (with help) makes the effort to make them deliberate over time having first made them conscious. Thoughts and feelings can become like behaviours with great self-mastery but they emerge naturally from the unconscious. You can discover this very easily for yourself if you attempt to meditate even for a few minutes.
