Publisher's Synopsis
Improve Your Mental Health at Home, the Office, or Anywhere!
Mental health is the worst it's been in modern memory-not only are people overworked in many countries, but they also are not getting the healthcare they need. Even if you are lucky enough to have adequate access to healthcare, you still might not be getting the mental health care you need. This is because it can be difficult to start therapy, it can be scary if you don't know what to expect, there can be a social stigma about seeking help, you may be short on time to actually go to a therapist's office every week, or you might simply not be aware of how much therapy can help you. No matter the case, you can experience vast help from cognitive-behavioral therapy!
With this book, you can learn the history, theory, and techniques of CBT to apply on your own or with the help of a therapist. This allows you to practice scientifically-proven techniques no matter if you have time or financial constraints. You can practice them whether you are at home, work, or even sitting in a parked car.
Believe it or not, you don't need a specific mental health diagnosis to find help from this book. While it's always a good idea to see a doctor if you suspect you might have a mental illness, whether you have a mental illness or are simply suffering from too much stress, this book can help you. CBT has been developed through scientifically-sound methods and proven to be effective with clinical testing on a wide variety of problems. This includes but is not limited to general stress, anxiety, sadness, fear, insomnia, depression, addiction, eating disorders, phobias, post-traumatic stress disorder, psychosis, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and more! If any of these sounds like problems you might struggle with, then this book can teach you the techniques you need to experience symptom improvement and a boost in general well-being.
Other books on the market don't explain the history or science so that you can understand how CBT can help you as an individual and have trust in the method. They may be vague in their instructions, not offering the detailed step-by-step process you need to learn the classic CBT techniques. But, this book is different. With this book, you can start taking immediate steps to better your well-being and reach your mental health goals.
