Cognitive Behavior Therapy (2 Manuscripts) - Master Your Brain and Emotions to Overcome Anxiety, Depression & Negative Thoughts and Achieve Greater Pe (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781700660190)

You do not instruct your blood to flow. The thoughts rushing through your mind can seem just as automatic, but if you want to improve your life, all you have to do is change your negative, limiting thought patterns and assumptions.

Author Bill Andrews used to be 'too shy' to talk to strangers. His belief held him back, although others saw a man with a lot going for him. A friend showed him how distorted his thinking was. That change in perspective freed him for success.

When you challenge distorted thinking, your behavior changes. That is the simple premise behind Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. It can help with:

• Low self-esteem
• Low self-confidence
• Social fears/fear of new experiences
• Depression
• Negative self-talk

This science-based, problem-focused, action-oriented field of psychology has been helping people diagnosed with depression, anxiety, and other issues for a long time, but it is also an invaluable tool for all of us who desire a better, more expansive life.

This two-manuscripts set will help you overcome helplessness, powerlessness, failure, and compulsive behaviors. You are not your reactive thoughts to words or events, but if repeatedly say "I can't..." or "I'm not good enough, ' it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy that keeps you small. Distorted thinking causes you to make mistakes. This two-set manual gives you the tools to uncover and eliminate self-defeating messages.

This book explains:

• What CBT is
• How CBT works
• How to benefit from it
• How to use a 10-step process to increase awareness of how your mind works

The process explained in this book will help you increase your personal happiness, peace, and joy because you understand and change the erroneous thinking that sabotages growth.

CBT can give you an option that does not require mind-altering medication, hypnosis, electroshock therapy, or years of psychoanalysis. Instead, CBT offers this basic premise: whatever negative thoughts and habitual behavioral patterns you have are products of how you choose to interpret situations. These interpretations result from certain 'truths' you choose to believe.

"This is a short read but packed with help to gain insight and perspective on erroneous information that you are feeding yourself and how to re-program yourself to a better outlook. It also helps you deal with toxic people who may give you very negative feedback about yourself," says one reviewer.
