Retrain Your Brain

by Seth J. Gillihan

A seven-week CBT workbook for depression and anxiety: setting goals, behavioral activation, identifying and challenging thoughts, time management, facing fears, and maintaining gains. It is structured week by week and realistic about effort.

CLICK TO SEE

Read it if…

you want a guided seven-week program rather than a reference.

Skip it if…

you prefer to read and apply loosely; this is a schedule.

Three things you will actually use

  1. Structure helps when motivation is low.
  2. Small scheduled activities rebuild momentum.
  3. Track progress; it is easy to miss.

Do this first

Do week one's exercises and schedule the next six weeks.

Our verdict

Structured and realistic.
