Description
Theoretically sound, yet practical and easy-to-use, The CBT Toolbox guides you through evidence-based exercises to help navigate the road to recovery. For a client’s use on their own or for use in a therapeutic setting, this book will teach how to overcome unhealthy life patterns, providing fresh and proven approaches to help:
– identify triggers for a variety of psychological problems
– create step by step plans to improve self-worth
– dismiss dysfunctional thinking
– track and monitor anger
– find calm in stressful situations
– break destructive patterns in toxic relationships
– defeat depression
Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) is the most empirically-supported form of treatment for a broad range of psychological problems. The CBT Toolbox is not a “one strategy first all” book. Rather, you will receive exercises that integrate research with practical application for specific symptom sets with the necessary depth to create meaningful change.
The CBT Toolbox will provide you with effective and easy-to-use tools for:
– Anxiety
– Depression
– Impulsive and Destructive Behaviors
– Problems Solving
– Toxic Relationships
– Stress Management
– and much more

You will not regret purchasing this book.
During my practicum and internship for my master’s counseling program I worked at an inpatient psych hospital and purchased this book for use in group therapy. I went back to its pages over and over and would recommend it to anyone who works with groups or individuals in a CBT framework.
M Burton (verified owner) –
I have used several of the exercises with groups and individuals and have been pleased with the results.
The toolbox contains a variety of worksheets that are easy to adapt to different populations. I work in the addictions field as well as using this in my private practice.

It was concise with simple language and explanations. It is a great asset for beginning counsellors especially as it relates to conceptualizing a client’s problems along with the overall treatment process. The layout of the book was easy to follow and the diagrams are easy to understand and explain to others. It was a great investment.

It’s an awesome resource book but too complicated for the students that I work with.
Kmen Park (verified owner) –
Over the years I’ve bought probably half a dozen workbooks on different angles and populations. This one supplies me with pretty much everything I need and I consider it over all the best one. I’m now using it with all of my clients that need a through treatment of the subject, CBT.
Willette P. Carlyle (verified owner) –
Very easy to follow. The tools provided are easy to explain. My clients understood and enjoyed the assignments. In the past, I’ve used at least 3 other workbooks that had too much information which can be overwhelming for some readers. But this workbook was simple and kept the attention of the client. Most importantly, they completed the assignments and returned them. The content of the workbook provided insight into my clients problem; it gave them a better understanding. What I would like to see added to this book is a CD with reproducible forms.

I have bought a number of books for my collections on hypnosis and psychology. Most are good enough to at least have a point of view and share that with me – so I think that it worth the read.

Love this book. I am a mentor in a middle school and needed material to use to help a student work through negative self talk. This book lays out the chapters by the behavior needing attention, so it is easy to find the area I am looking for. Print in narrative areas is a bit small, but not a deal breaker by any means. Material print is plenty big and easy to read. I am not a clinician, but it is very easy to understand for a beginner like myself.

Great book, it arrived in 2 days due to prime membership. I have been looking for a good CBT book to use for my chemical dependency clients. I will be able to pull so many great activities and ideas from this book to help my clients. I am happy that I found this book. It was in excellent condition even though it is soft cover.

The CBT Toolbox addresses many of the major problems one might find in a counseling practice. I have not used it yet, but the exercises seem to be relevant and useful. The only complaint would be that the exercises are repetitive, the exact same exercises for each of the problem areas over and over again. They could have saved some paper. All in all though, the workbook would be useful in a private practice and I would recommend it.
Elizabeth (verified owner) –
Terrific workbook! A very helpful adjunct to my existing therapy. Even my therapist praises it. Having the book to utilize between therapy sessions has proven invaluable to me. I find that being able to locate the chapter concerning my current nemesis and having all relevant tools and worksheets within is incredibly helpful and proves easy to use. Thank you.
Three of my friends also love this book and find it useful with their therapists as well.

C. Kellogg (verified owner) –
Excellent book! Found lots of great exercises to use for my patients. The description of CBT in the book was very understandable for those I work with.
Jeffrey Carpenter (verified owner) –
just as it says. the content of this book could be better, with more/varied interventions. it’s basically the same behavioral techniques over and over, with a different way of thinking about them (cognition). overall, it’s a good book and a couple of my clients have found it useful.
AHThorn (verified owner) –
A great resource. I use in a school setting and in private practice. Relatable. Easy to use. Effective.

I love this book. I am currently in graduate school for LPC and school counseling. I find uses in both areas.
Ouzola Customer (verified owner) –
I like how it is broken down into sections (Ex: anger, self-esteem) and has great things i can use. The worksheets all go together and can easily be explained as the wording is very clear in the worksheets.
Fabulous Girl (verified owner) –
CBT made simple. Very easy book to use and straight to the point. The instructions in the worksheets for clients are easy to follow. I love it. Thank you Dr Riggenbach

As a therapist and school counselor I was able to incorporate some of the techniques in the CBT workbook to help build self-esteem, challenge distorted thoughts and promote confidence when counseling clients and students.

I think I’ve ordered this 3 times, lots of useful printable homework assignments.
Alex (verified owner) –
Really straightforward and easy to use. Works both for therapist information and clients. Examples provided in the book help show how to use each skill.
Sarah (verified owner) –
simplifies a lot of stressors into bite sized pieces to tackle over time. I’m not sure it gives a really comprehensive attack strategy but it is a very good foundation. It is important to be simple when you or some one else is being overwhelmed, so I’d say this is best for people with anxiety or have anxiety as an additional symptom to some other diagnosis.
bottom line, a good tool best used with other tools, look up ‘anxiety thought traps’ and you’ll find other ways that your thought process may contribute to unhealthy mood swings itself.
Anna Escobar (verified owner) –
I’ve used several CBT books and this is one is great because the exercises are helpful without all the reading.
Cassandra (verified owner) –
I use this all the time with my clients. It’s very easy for clients to use and it forces them to dig deeper. Very often I have to hunt this book down because any one of my colleagues had borrowed it. They have promised me they will buy their own copy. Lol
One complaint I have is that a chapter may refer to an earlier chapter. I prefer to use the chapters as stand alone exercises that are specific to a given client’s needs.
Ouzola Customer (verified owner) –
Good
Niccit (verified owner) –
If you’re a CBT clinician this is perfect! It offers a breadth of different cbt exercises that are highly applicable for many diagnoses. A great buy!!

This book is a great addition to in-person CBT, or someone wanting to learn more about the steps.
Geoffrey Hair (verified owner) –
I laughed at his story in the introduction which was a good attempt to connect everyday situations into a learning curb. I also found his advice on CBT very basic but structurally sound. It was and is a good read. I enjoyed it.
Rachel (verified owner) –
O livro te leva a fazer questionamentos importantes sobre o seu comportamento e sentimentos. No entanto, torna-se um pouco cansativo ao abordar de forma semelhante a depressão, ansiedade, codependência, etc. Oferece também poucas dicas de melhoria, embora explique a causa.
MRH (verified owner) –
Great worksheets. Would have liked more educational reading material with instructions and understanding for clients why they are doing these worksheets.. basically maybe a user manual for the clinician

I use CBT a LOT in my workplace and this book provides a number of great handouts and helpful material for patients. Easy to follow and understand. Would highly recommend it!
Avril F (verified owner) –
It’s a huge workbook. Hopefully you have a therapist/counselor to help you get through this book. You can do it on your own though if you need to. There’s a lot of deep stuff to uncover & plans to put in place. Also, this is not a workbook to rush through. You need to take your time & pace yourself so that you don’t get overwhelmed.
Valderene (verified owner) –
A lot of helpful sheets to work with people with different disorders!! I like it a lot!!
Shaundra (verified owner) –
Very repetitive skills; was hoping for more variety of skills. However, it shows how skills can be applied to multiple problem areas. Excited to use this with my therapy clients and recommended it to a few of them.
