THE UNWANTED THOUGHTS AND INTENSE EMOTIONS WORKBOOK. CBT and DBT Skills to Break the Cycle of Intrusive Thoughts and Emotional Overwhelm

This workbook combines two powerfully effective treatments to address relentless, intrusive, and unwanted thoughts—as well as the painful and intense emotions these thoughts can trigger. Readers will find an innovative blend of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills to manage obsessive, self-blaming, judgmental, and catastrophic thoughts—and find lasting emotional balance.
