Retrain Your Brain: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in 7 Weeks: A Workbook for Managing Depression and Anxiety Kindle Edition

I love the way this workbook is setup. I've been in therapy for years (which i recommend to EVERYOBE) and have tried different workbooks between my sessions over the years. But THIS one, I'm really enjoying it and look forward to my time with myself and my book! The content is very applicable and the examples that are used aren't outlandish like other books I've encountered, which makes it easier for anyone to make an instant connection with the content as opposed to trying to think of situations that cause the same feelings as an example that's WAY out there.The only complaint I have is when it arrived, there were oil stains on the back cover and it smells like citronella. I guess it could be worse! I'm not exchanging it because it's damaged but, just a heads up, Amazon warehouse! I would have done less stars, but the oil isn't related to the book itself!

I have to admit that I am skeptic when it comes to trying new things. I don’t like to try new foods, new shows, new places…nothing. I think it comes with the territory because trying new things can sometimes cause my anxiety to go into overdrive.About two months ago, I was feeling like I needed more than therapy. I was doing okay, but I wanted to be better than okay. I did some research on books about depression and anxiety and I came across Retrain Your Brain: Cognitive Behavior Therapy in 7 Weeks by Dr. Seth Gillihan. I can’t remember what caused me to jump right on ordering this book (it may have been the free shipping that came with my Amazon prime account), but that doesn’t really matter because it was meant for me to have this book.I don’t think I have ever mentioned the fact that my bachelor’s degree is in psychology. I say that to say that one would think that I would have known about Cognitive Behavior Therapy, or CBT as it is referred to in the book. But, sadly prior to ordering this book, I had not (I could blame that on the fact that I hated psychology in college, but that’s for another blog post).Even though I ordered the book and awaited it’s arrival like a child waiting for Christmas, it took me a few days to crack it open. Not that there was anything wrong with the book itself, but it was skepticism about a workbook that could help me battle depression and anxiety that kept me from wanting to dive right in.Without giving this workbook totally away, this workbook has been a LIFE CHANGER! A little disclaimer: I am in therapy and I see my therapist once a month at least. But, if it is any consolation, when I walked into my last therapy appointment with this book in my hand, my therapist informed me that she was in the process of ordering the SAME book. This further confirmed that I was on the right path.The workbook is easy to digest, meaning it isn’t filled with scientific jargon that makes it hard to understand. It truly does empower people who suffer from depression and anxiety to learn how to be their own therapist by gaining the CBT skills to combat the negative, aggressive, and overwhelming thoughts and emotions that come with both.Because of this book, my approach to new things has been different, my anxiety has decreased, and my negative thoughts don’t linger like they used to. It doesn’t mean that they aren’t there, but I can combat them like ninja when they hit me. I have also shared my work with my husband and it has helped him better support me.I highly recommend this book to anyone who suffers from depression and anxiety.

Glad I purchased this. Great workbook for cognitive issues. Easy to read and work at your own pace.

This was overall alright for what it was. It has some great tips, but the problem is that if you’re high functioning with depression and anxiety, you are already doing all of these suggestions. I could see it being a huge help for those who are in a different category. It has a lot of activities to keep checking in on yourself.

The ULTICOR Velvet 8-Piece Recliner Sofa Cover offers a snug fit for your 3-seater recliner, with stretchy fabric for easy application. The thick, soft material provides comfort and protection, while being washable for convenience. Overall, it's a solid choice to keep your recliner looking great.

Its a really good book

Book was ok but not what I was thinking.

Lots of very disappointing self-help books out there that promise to help you do things like "take charge of your adult ADHD," "gain control of your anxiety" and "lift the fog of your depression," but instead they merely take your money and offer nothing more than a bunch of history on the condition in question with a few anecdotal experiences sprinkled in for good measure. Thus far, all of the books I've purchased have turned out to be all fluff with no substance, providing no help at all. One disappointing waste of money after another. That is until I took a chance on "Retrain Your Brain." Thank you whomever you are Seth Gillahan or whatever his name is lol. This book is structured. The author lets you know exactly what to expect from the book. He lets you know that he will provide a brief overview of CBT and why it works with brief information about depression and anxiety and then he will get into 7-weeks of giving you practical CBT skills to practice to improve your condition and functioning. You'll work your week to week, much the same you would with a therapist.For the record. I have ADHD. Anxiety and depression often comes along with that. I started CBT with a therapist about 2 months ago but my therapist is ermmm, not very good at her job let's just leave it at that, so I am on the hunt for a new therapist. In the meantime I decided to check out some self-help books to help myself in the meantime but kept coming up short with crappy book after crappy book. Any way, this book has helped me more than my last 2 months of therapy. You won't be cured of depression or anxiety in 7 weeks of course (and the author lets you know that so that you know what to expect). However, if you take your time and motivated to improve your condition, this book can help you get measurable relief and improve your daily life.

I thought this was such a helpful book (I initially bought the e-book to check it out), I then bought a paperback version for a dear member of my family who is struggling with anxiety. Recommended as another tool/way to deal with anxiety and depression.
