THE ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION WORKBOOK

Don't let anxiety and depression keep you from living life to the fullest. Using evidence-based cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) skills, this workbook will help you target and tear down the emotional avoidance barriers that drive your anxiety and depression. By engaging with the emotions you've been seeking to avoid, you'll learn, “I can handle this feeling.” You'll also find strategies to help you stay calm during emotional situations; and discover relaxation and mindfulness techniques to deal effectively with difficult thoughts and feelings. When you believe you can handle feeling anxious and depressed, you're less likely to avoid those feelings, creating space for you to be more willing to do the things that you want to do in your life.
