Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Made Simple
by Seth J. Gillihan
Ten strategies for anxiety, depression, anger, panic and worry: behavioral activation, thought records, exposure, mindfulness, in short clear chapters with exercises. It is the most accessible introduction to CBT techniques for people who want to start today.
Read it if…
you want CBT techniques quickly without a long workbook.
Skip it if…
you want depth; this is deliberately brief.
Three things you will actually use
- Act first; mood follows behavior.
- Catch, check and change thoughts.
- Face what you avoid.
Do this first
Schedule three activities that used to give you pleasure or mastery, and do them regardless of mood.
Our verdict
Accessible starter.
