CBT Journal For Dummies

I bought it for my husband in combination with the CBT Workbook for Dummies and the CBT Therapy for Dummies workbook. He found no use for this journal. It's a watered down incomplete version of the CBT Workbook for Dummies. It's oversimplified, there is no reason to reflect or write down the answers to the exercises as it's common sense. I think this journal was added to the CBT Therapy Dummies series to exploit the selling power of the main book.

A very good journal and nice accompaniment to the main 'Dummies CBT' book though also more than justifies its existence when used in isolation.Of course everything has its limitations and talking therapies in conjunction or not with this journal are almost always more preferable to working through ones problems in isolation but it is a good starting/finishing point. I think it is well constructed and clear and will help to breakdown and crystalise many peoples specific concerns in the first instance.One of the things I like about it as compared to print off sheets or jus using blank sheets of paper is that it is very structured. Structure is an incredibly overlooked but important part of maintaining ones participation and interest in a self help format.It is written in a really pleasant encouraging way. I guess the only criticism I would have is that sometimes it may ask the participant to undertake some written exercise without really providing any context as to what the person may derive from doing so. There is enough positive stuff to focus on in here though so I think it's a good buy. Good luck.

I am actually filling in the empty pages in this book, in spite of being one who detests writing diaries, journals etc - anything that is about feelings (eeew!). It is straightforward and sensible. It is not making me feel embarrassed! Am about 1/4 of the way through: would not say that my funny old head is now in tip-top order, but this book has provided good food for thought, and I am intending to finish it.

I have used number of different journals and this is my favourite one to date

Perfect super lighting delivery as I currently having C.B.T via local nhs is a valuable item to help overcome those black/grey areas. I recommend this book the cover saying CBT Journal for Dummies is loose and it you dont want people to see what your writing in then it easy to remove without damage to the book, full of useful tips and full explainations of what cbt is.

Great book recommended by my counselling college and also used with my clients.I purchased this book to help a friend who is suffering anxiety and panic attacks.

I bought this for a friend who was having difficulties copying with life, she was self-harming and in a very dark place, she swears it helped her tremendously, she uses it every day, and all she speaks about is this little book. To see the change in her is testament enough for me that this is a good little book

Very good Journal, laid out well, easy to understand.
