Book Description
This bestselling, classic work offers a definitive presentation of the theory and practice of cognitive therapy for depression. Aaron T. Beck and his associates set forth their seminal argument that depression arises from a "cognitive triad" of errors and from the idiosyncratic way that one infers, recollects, and generalizes. From the initial interview to termination, many helpful case examples demonstrate how cognitive-behavioral interventions can loosen the grip of "depressogenic" thoughts and assumptions. Guidance is provided for working with individuals and groups to address the full range of problems that patients face, including suicidal ideation and possible relapse.

Book Description
It’s time to outsmart your worry and anxiety. Drawing on the same cutting-edge psychology presented in author David Carbonell’s The Worry Trick, this irreverent, on-the-go guide offers ten powerful "counter-intuitive" strategies to help you put worry in its place—anytime, anywhere. Anxiety is a powerful force. It makes us question our decisions and ourselves, worry about the future, and it fills our days with dread and emotional turbulence. But what if we understood that anxiety is merely a trick of the mind, trying to convince us we’re in danger? Anxiety is like a magician behind the curtain, playing subtle tricks on us to convince us that we're in danger when we’re not. When we understand this, we can observe our anxious feelings with some distance. Based on the author’s popular book, The Worry Trick, this helpful and humorous guide identifies the “trick” of chronic anxiety, and provides the ten most powerful techniques based in acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help you respond differently to panic, anxiety, worry, and phobias. Once you learn to respond differently to the worry trick, you’ll be able to break the cycle of chronic anxiety for good. Instead of trying to “manage” your anxiety or push anxious thoughts away—techniques that you’ve probably already discovered don’t work—the ten powerful strategies outlined in this guide will empower you to actually change how you respond to worry and anxiety, so you can get your life back!

Book Description
Are you feeling gripped by an overwhelming emotion of depression draining the color of your life? Do you feel dreadful from anxiety? Do you find yourself lashing out explosively in anger over everything and at everyone? Do you frequently experience panic attacks striking without warning? If so, then read on… The fact is, we have all found ourselves being overcome by overwhelming emotions at some point in our life. However, when emotionally thrown off balance by these emotions, it is our primary responsibility to take conscious and intentional steps toward regaining our footing to find relief as quickly as possible, and to prevent any further damage to our overall mental health and wellbeing. In the late stages of my emotional breakdown episode and in my search for emotional freedom, I came across a unique but fascinating treatment option that seemed very powerful and quite different from other treatment options available for people who suffered from depression, anxiety, and panic attacks. This treatment option is called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). As I dug deeper into the inner workings of this therapy, the more I realized how depression, anxiety, anger and panic overtake our thoughts and plunge it into harmful directions, and how CBT can help retrain how we think and behave to serve us better. To achieve the health and lifestyle of your dreams, you first have to understand the workings of the human mind; this is where CBT comes in. Though simple to apply, it is, however, a fantastic approach that will show you the ropes of how your thoughts rule your life and what to do to bend this rule. In this book, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Made Simple, you will discover how you can reinvent your thoughts and your life to find true happiness. CBT is not only drug-free but entirely safe and scientifically proven to work. With the case studies and practice exercises in this book to guide you along the process, you are on your way to reclaiming control over your overall health and mental wellbeing. This book is designed to serve those who haven’t heard of CBT, those who currently work with a therapist, or are therapists or counselors themselves. At the end of this book, you will: 1. Have a better understanding of what CBT means. 2. Understand how your thoughts determine your feelings and behaviors. 3. Discover science-backed research why CBT is a very effective therapeutic option in the treatment of depression, anxiety, anger, and panic attacks. 4. Be more aware of what you must do to ensure you get the most out of CBT. 5. Be enlightened on how the negative thoughts that fuel your negative emotions develop, and how you can identify them when they come to mind. 6. Uncover life hacks that you can apply right away to challenge and replace your negative thoughts with more balanced, healthy, and rational thoughts. 7. Know how to make your new, restructured thoughts your second nature, and how to monitor your feelings to prevent a relapse. 8. Discover tailored and proven techniques you can start right now and how you can apply them to overcome depression, end anxiety, manage anger, and stop panic attacks. …and much more! Now, you have a choice to get back control of your emotions and mental health. The question is, will you choose to remain in the same old negative thought pattern that makes your life a living nightmare? Or would you rather brave up and retrain your brain once and for all and live your best life? I chose the latter during my emotional breakdown episode, and I hope you do the same too. To get instant access to this powerful life-saving hack, simply get a copy of this book RIGHT NOW.
