Am working on depression issues and need a proactive process for myself. This seemed a good way to work on depression issues .
I have some reading to do. Just browsed the book. May help/may not. I will give it a try.
Still depressed but has interesting ideas
I am a LPC and bought this to have some visual worksheets to help explain CBT to clients. I found it helpful for that purpose but overall its very basic information if you are looking from a licensed perspective. However, I would recommend this product to people who are struggling with depression and needing a step by step guide to help them get through on their own. Easy to understand language and good at explaining reasons and concepts.
Just the tool I needed to get started. I would like to buy this as a gift to a few people but need this available in other languages like Spanish. If this happens to happen, is there a way for me to be notified ASAP?
Great book!
