Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): Your Toolkit to Modify Mood, Overcome Obstructions and Improve Your Life (Practical Guide Series) Paperback – 2 Jun. 2016

by Elaine Iljon Foreman (Author), Clair Pollard (Author)
4.5 out of 5 stars 509 ratings
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 recognise the behaviours and thoughts that hold you back, and will develop skills to think more positively, act more calmly and feel better about yourself.

Using the same tools employed by CBT practitioners, 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. The authors friendly and supportive approach will help you learn to manage recurrences of negative thinking and behaviours, 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.

Not read the book as of yet but when it arrived the book was damaged. The envelope it came in was absolutely fine and undamaged. A real shame to say it isn't a second hand book, it shouldnt be damaged the way it is! But for £2.50 you can't go wrong for the knowledge

    4.0 out of 5 stars A good introduction to CBT
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 March 2022
    Format: Paperback
    I found this book a good introduction to CBT generally which explains how the way we think about events really does shape how we behave and the things we believe for better or for worse. However, I found it only covered a small section of problems (depression, anxiety, insomnia) and didnt go into as much detail as it could have when dealing with those issues. Although it is a really good introduction and a useful start.

    Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase
    To be able to identify the way I am feeling with the typical symptoms of Anxiety plus insomnia being listed at the start of the book, I knew I was off to a good start. The mind and body exercises are looking pretty good and I’ve shared what I’ve read so far with my husband. It’s not something we talk about very much but this book has opened up that channel between us. So please I found it.
