Change Your Life With CBT: How Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Can Transform Your Life

by Corinne Sweet

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy has already helped millions of people overcome their issues and move their life forward ? now it can really help you too. In this busy, demanding and often stressful modern world, it?s a struggle to find time to even think about what your dreams and goals might be, let alone work towards actually realising them. It?s so easy to get stuck in a routine, to opt for the easy answers, to feel a lack of inspiration and motivation and then wind up feeling anxious and depressed. Far from being an exciting or invigorating prospect, the mere idea of changing anything about your life soon seems hard work, scary and something to be avoided. But your life really can be better than it is now - you just need to learn how to really believe it can. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, can lend a hand. It will help you change the way you think and feel about yourself, about others and about the world around. As you begin to feel more positive, more motivated and more confident you?ll soon begin to realise that your future is fully in your control. The scientifically-proven techniques of CBT are a powerful force to harness. Written by a leading psychologist, Change Your Life with CBT will deliver these tried and tested tools in an accessible package full of exercises, examples and practical advice and guidance . So if you?re feeling that your life has got stuck in first gear, or even stuck in reverse, and if you believe that the main thing holding you back is probably yourself, Change Your Life with CBT can help you overcome your barriers and start to achieve your goals at home, at work and throughout your whole life.

Magari non ti cambia proprio subito la vita, però ci sono informazioni interessanti.

Sono arrivata a questo testo dopo aver approcciato la TCC con il testo di Seligman

La parte degli esercizi scatena sempre la mia ritrosia, comunque alcuni li ho anche sperimentati. Ci sono indicazioni pratiche e di facile acquisizione, la ripartizione schematica ne rende agevole la lettura.

A una decina di giorni dalla sperimentazione qualcosa in effetti è cambiato. Come indica anche l’autrice, gli effetti più profondi sono necessariamente a lungo termine, o comunque richiedono qualcosa di più di qualche giorno o poche settimane.

Intanto qualche mio piccolo successo l’ho portato a casa, non è male.

Se poi, anche grazie a questo libro, eliminerò gli schemi negativi che dieci volte su dieci passavano inosservati, meglio.

Сразу скажу, Книга весьма хороша! Легкость и доступность изложения с которой ведется описание сложных состояний психики и сознания, проблем связанных со стрессом и восприятием жизненных ситуаций, перегрузки на работе и дома затягивает с первых страниц. Каждый освещаемый вопрос и психологическая проблема, находит в тексте объяснение и пути решения. Каждая глава – это руководство к действию. Сказать, что книга практичная, это, в данном случае, не сказать ничего. Её можно сравнить разве что с задачником с ответами, но только связанным с психологией. Воды, свойственной, современному научпопу в книге нет совсем. Хотите изменить свою жизнь – читайте, следуйте указаниям, преображайтесь. Мне помогло – поможет и Вам! В русской версии выпущена издательством Претекст под названием "Сам себе психотерапевт"

Solid and easy to understand structure on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Found it useful despite doing CBT-based therapy for last few years. This book prompts you to build your own CBT toolkit that you can use in a daily life. Get better at catching your thoughts and cognitions, that live in between stimulus, event, trigger and reactions, behavior, feelings.

[Tatiana Miroshnychenko · Rating 3 out of 5]

Автор книги розкриває принципи когнітивно-поведінкової терапії, заснованої на уявленнях, відповідно до яких почуття і поведінку людини визначаються не ситуацією, в якій він опинився, а його сприйняттям цієї ситуації.
Автор пропонує людям, схильним до депресивних станів або просто незадоволеним собою, змінити своє життя на краще за допомогою КПТ, взяти управління почуттями та думками в свої руки, перемогти страхи і меланхолію, щоб знайти повноцінне і радісне життя.

I more dipped in and out of this book. Found some of the real life stories interesting and if I had maybe followed the exercises they would have helped. It is a simple look at CBT and hence a good introduction, works well if you are doing one of the 6 week courses offered by the NHS. For me though I need a bit more than what I see as commonsense.
