Book description
All of us experience complicated thoughts and feelings as we
negotiate the day and these feelings can be difficult to manage.
Sometimes we are aware that the way we think contributes to our
difficulties, but don't know what to do about it.
Change Your Thinking is soundly based on the principles of
cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), the standard psychological tool
used by therapists. The aim of CBT is to develop realistic thought
patterns to help us respond better to upsetting emotions.
In this book Dr Edelman demonstrates how to dispute that nagging
voice in your head and deal more rationally with feelings of anger,
depression, frustration and anxiety. The book also offers sensible
suggestions for more effective communication and for finding happiness
- something that is within everyone's grasp.
CBT can help you change your thinking and make a difference to your
life - beginning today.
Dr Sarah Edelman is a researcher, author and psychologist in private
practice. She works as a research psychologist at the Health Psychology
Unit, University of Technology Sydney and teaches 'Change Your Thinking'
at the Centre for Continuing Education at Sydney University. Formerly a
high school teacher, Sarah now teaches adults how to use Cognitive
Behaviour Therapy in the management of stress and psychological
problems.
