Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Do intrusive thoughts stifle your days? Are you overwhelmed and paralysed by constant doubts? Are anxiety and depression preventing you from living the life you want? Anger, fear, sadness and shame are notoriously difficult emotions to manage, because nature has forged their purpose purely to protect us. Sometimes trauma can interfere with your ability to regulate your emotions, amplifying them and generating devastating effects for you and others. It is very difficult to ignore these emotions. Sometimes they get in the way, impede your progress and make an intimate relationship or career advancement impossible. Although we can't control many of the things that happen to us, we can certainly control how we react to those things. From this book you will learn: How CBT works. How mental patterns are established and vicious circles are blocked. What emotional levers are, and how to react to them. To eliminate anxiety, depression and panic attacks. How to set goals and begin to use CBT. Basic and advanced techniques of CBT. How to challenge (and beat) negative and automatic thoughts. How to prevent relapses. CBT has incredible benefits, and perhaps the most encouraging aspect is that you do not need to spend anything on drugs and therapists, both of which can be an impediment to your progress. This book will most likely not be the ‘complete cure’ for all your problems. HOWEVER, I GUARANTEE that if you read and re-read every single chapter carefully, ABSORB all the advice and APPLY the techniques provided by this manual, you will immediately experience a feeling of relief, and you will see significant improvements and progress in every aspect of your life.
