Description

Cognitive Therapy is now almost 50 years old and in that time countless studies have shown it to be a highly effective approach to mood regulation and decision making. What most people don’t know is that the ideas that it is based on are over 2000 years old. Beginning with the Stoics in ancient Greece. Philosophers such as Socrates, Seneca, Epictitus and Marcus Aurelius put forth timeless principles that have guided people from all walks life since before the time of Christ. This workbook, “Becoming Your Own Therapist” takes many of those principles and shapes them into a series of questions which when answered helps people to feel better and make smarter decisions. A “how to” of mood regulation, it provides ways of seeing oneself and the world more accurately that can lead to a life of productivity, satisfaction and contentment. It can also act as shock absorbers when life presents us with the inevitable challenges we all face.One of the unique features of this manual is that it was scientifically tested to see if people could use it outside of the clinical setting, without a therapist and what we found was that people actually felt less depressed and anxious after using the tools in Becoming Your Own Therapist.
