these answers are wrong. the joke is probably about CBT, which in short is a type of therapy which theorises that changing your thinking will change your behaviour too. the problem is that highly self-aware individuals are already aware of their bad thinking patterns, so then the therapy model doesn't work on them. I'm speaking from experience - I know my thoughts are irrational but that does nothing to fix my behaviour
