Publisher's Synopsis
Have you found yourself struggling with day-to-day life, no matter how hard you try? Do you struggle to even get out of bed sometimes?
No matter what, you find yourself exhausted, disillusioned, uninterested in life in general, and no longer finding enjoyment in anything you do. When you do try to engage in your hobbies, you find yourself bored or wishing you could instead go sleep it off, or like you are wasting your time.
If this sounds like you, it is possible that you are suffering from depression. Regardless of whether you have a current diagnosis of depression, or you suspect that you might be depressed, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Depression is here to help.
Cognitive-behavioral therapy is a type of therapeutic process in which the core concept is changing your very thoughts, taking them away from negative, and making those far more positively structured instead. This plays off of the cycle of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, in which all are constantly impacting each other in a constant loop. Your negative thoughts create negative feelings, which create negative behaviors, which further create more negative thoughts. This cycle can be incredibly difficult to challenge if you are unaware of it, but as soon as you learn of its existence, you are in a position to take advantage of that cycle and use it for yourself. That is what CBT seeks to create.
When you engage in CBT, you are declaring that you are done letting your negative thoughts rule you. You are declaring that you want to have a healthier mindset, one that is more conducive to productive behaviors, and you will be able to get it. This book is here to provide you with all of the information you will need to restructure your own thoughts, creating thoughts that are more productive and capable of leading you to success.
