The definitive collection of CBT tips, tools, strategies, and activities for treating the most common mental health issues that many people face.
110 CBT TIPS and Tools is the ultimate resource for practical, easy-to-understand handouts, activities, worksheets, mini-lessons, and quizzes for overcoming anxiety and depression, changing unhealthy thinking patterns, and improving life skills.
The fifth installment in Judy Belmont's beloved Therapeutic Toolbox series, this latest collection of TIPS (Theory, Implementation, and Processing) offers a treasure trove of practical cognitive behavioral techniques for building mental strength and emotional resilience, which can be practiced both in the therapy session and in everyday life. This book is the first in the series written for both mental health professionals and their clients or self-help readers. Although the content of the book stands on its own, it is also an excellent companion to any of the TIPS books to encourage clients to use self-help resources between sessions.
Each chapter features 11 experiential TIPS for developing a healthier, happier life, including:
Dialing down anxiety
Making stress your friend
Expressing anger in a healthy way
Challenging distorted self-talk
Reframing negative thoughts
Striving for authenticity rather than perfection
Cultivating flexibility, self-compassion, self-esteem, and gratitude
Reproducible self-tests for tracking progress
And more!
Whether you are a mental health professional, a therapy client, or simply interested in improving the way you meet life's challenges and your mental wellness, you'll benefit from the wide variety of accessible resources for incorporating CBT strategies into your work and life.
