This Book is a Life Changer!
I have to admit that I am skeptic when it comes to trying new things. I don’t like to try new foods, new shows, new places…nothing. I think it comes with the territory because trying new things can sometimes cause my anxiety to go into overdrive.About two months ago, I was feeling like I needed more than therapy. I was doing okay, but I wanted to be better than okay. I did some research on books about depression and anxiety and I came across Retrain Your Brain: Cognitive Behavior Therapy in 7 Weeks by Dr. Seth Gillihan. I can’t remember what caused me to jump right on ordering this book (it may have been the free shipping that came with my Amazon prime account), but that doesn’t really matter because it was meant for me to have this book.I don’t think I have ever mentioned the fact that my bachelor’s degree is in psychology. I say that to say that one would think that I would have known about Cognitive Behavior Therapy, or CBT as it is referred to in the book. But, sadly prior to ordering this book, I had not (I could blame that on the fact that I hated psychology in college, but that’s for another blog post).Even though I ordered the book and awaited it’s arrival like a child waiting for Christmas, it took me a few days to crack it open. Not that there was anything wrong with the book itself, but it was skepticism about a workbook that could help me battle depression and anxiety that kept me from wanting to dive right in.Without giving this workbook totally away, this workbook has been a LIFE CHANGER! A little disclaimer: I am in therapy and I see my therapist once a month at least. But, if it is any consolation, when I walked into my last therapy appointment with this book in my hand, my therapist informed me that she was in the process of ordering the SAME book. This further confirmed that I was on the right path.The workbook is easy to digest, meaning it isn’t filled with scientific jargon that makes it hard to understand. It truly does empower people who suffer from depression and anxiety to learn how to be their own therapist by gaining the CBT skills to combat the negative, aggressive, and overwhelming thoughts and emotions that come with both.Because of this book, my approach to new things has been different, my anxiety has decreased, and my negative thoughts don’t linger like they used to. It doesn’t mean that they aren’t there, but I can combat them like ninja when they hit me. I have also shared my work with my husband and it has helped him better support me.I highly recommend this book to anyone who suffers from depression and anxiety.

Good Book
First of all, this is a workbook. It’s a good workbook that’s very helpful.If you want to write in it, I would get the actual workbook and not the kindle edition.

Helps
Definitely helped but sometimes it was a little too much and repeat. I think some games might be helpful in this or homework to do on the outside of it maybe

A little out there
I’m halfway through the book and I must say it’s a lot of information to try to retain. It’s easy to read for the most part. I was just reading how he finds Budda as fuel for grounding basically and its principals for sure are a big part of his process. He felt religion made him more nervous than helpful from what I read . As a Christian I feel my faith in God is the one thing that helps me as I love that there is God watching over all these uncontrollable situations in my life that pop up . If I’d know this booked backed away from religion I would not of bought it although I think some of his ideas are probably helpful to anyone with agoraphobia and or anxiety. I will finish the book when I do I will report back !

Practical Workbook That Truly Helps
This workbook is straightforward, practical, and easy to follow. Each week builds on the last, offering simple but powerful CBT exercises that really help shift negative thought patterns. I love how it combines education with hands-on activities it doesn’t just tell you about CBT, it walks you through applying it in daily life.The layout is clear, the examples are relatable, and the step-by-step format makes it feel manageable instead of overwhelming. It’s a great tool whether you’re new to therapy or looking to strengthen coping skills on your own. Highly recommend for anyone struggling with anxiety, depression, or just wanting more control over their thoughts.

It is not a very exciting and interactive book. I wasn’t satisfied with the explanation and types of exercises given. I found it very boring.
Amazon Customer –
I like all the exercises that teach to be aware of your thought :- are they negative or positive?- why am I thinking so negative? where to they come from? what is the need of them? have I thought the outcome?Brings self awareness and teach you to live in the moment ; in the here and now .

Good for practicing CBT yourself
PETER RUSSELL –
This was by far the BEST out of four self help books I bought to help with anxiety. It explains the different types of anxiety, and their causes, and enabled me to write some notes for myself that I am certain will be a support base for me now and in the future. I feel that it has given me a foundation for reducing my anxiety, and I have seen very positive results in myself in the seven weeks that I have been using it. For me, it has been a godsend.
