Summary

Change can often seem like an impossible task, but this practical book will help you put it into perspective. With guidance from two experts, you'll recognize the behaviors and thoughts that hold you back, and will develop skills to think more positively, act more calmly and feel better about yourself. A new and updated edition, this book is full of activities and experiments to explore and challenge, stories and exercises to provide perspective, and a clear framework to encourage and guide you, using the same tools employed by CBT practitioners. The authors' friendly and supportive approach will help you learn to manage recurrences of negative thinking and behaviors, and to develop strong coping strategies. CBT incorporates the latest therapies and research, including ACT and mindfulness, and explicitly addresses problem areas like insomnia and depression. This edition includes a new chapter focusing on practical advice about making changes and the principles of T.E.A.M-CBT.
