About this eBook

Have you wondered if it is possible to stop intense feelings of worry, anxiety or depression without resorting to medication?

Most depression related medication can have a series of harmful side effects that sometimes leave patients in an even worse state than before.
Cognitive behavioral therapy has been one of the most successful methods of treating and eliminating depression, anxiety and negative thought patterns with little to virtually no side effects.

Here's some of what you can expect to learn inside the pages of this book:

• Discover exactly how to dismantle the most damaging automatic thoughts.
• How to develop a solid foundation of core beliefs so that external factors have little negative impact on the way you think.
• Learn how to take in situations with a more positive perspective and make it a long-term habit.
• How to avoid the most common CBT mistakes that can greatly hinder your progress towards recovery.
• Proven methods to relax your mind and body and disrupt stress and depression patterns.

Other than following the advice inside this guide, no previous skill or specific knowledge is required to get started with CBT.

There is a large amount of CBT practitioners that have learned how to harness emotions and thoughts to 'rewire' the way their mind works for good.
Unlike depression or anxiety medication, the CBT principles will reward you with long lasting results when correctly applied to your life.

There is no better time to start the journey towards a healthier mind and body. Start by practicing CBT today!

Ratings and reviews

This is the best resource and training book for therapists that I have ever read. It is excellent for both beginning CBT therapists as well as for seasoned therapists. I have used CBT for many years, but found Beck's guidance to be very helpful, sometimes confirming that what I do works for others as well as it does for my patients, and sometimes encountering advice that helps me correct some of my own shortcomings in the use of CBT. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

This book is a great manual for therapists who use CBT. The book teaches therapists how to strengthen and/or repair the therapeutic alliance, how to identify, evaluate and modify automatic thoughts, intermediate beliefs and core beliefs. The biggest strength of the book is that it helps therapists structure and pace each session alongside providing a wide array of interventions for almost all possible situations. I will certainly be referring back to this book throughout my career.

It is an must for anyone who wishes to understand the basic principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy . The author clearly teaches the reader how to conceptualize the patient , completely tells us how to structure the first session , how to identify the automatic thoughts , identifies the core beliefs , establishes homework , elicits feedback through sessions, discusses termination and relapse prevention and discusses the problems of therapy in general. I would highly recommend this book for graduate students and to the seasoned CBT Therapist alike.
