Toolset for Depression: How to Quickly Boost Your Mood and Increase Motivation

The modern world is changing rapidly. What once seemed like an unshakeable world order is being restructured before our eyes. There is no confidence in what tomorrow will bring. In short, we have enough reasons to feel longing, hopelessness, and depression right now. More and more people are beginning to experience depressive episodes, and unfortunately, not everyone can find a way out of this state on their own.

The team of authors of this book will introduce you to exercises that will allow you to begin the healing process yourself. To use this «first aid kit», you don’t need to visit a psychotherapist or take antidepressants. But if you feel that you cannot cope with depression on your own, and the symptoms become more serious, be sure to consult a doctor.

Here are the main techniques you will master:

• the technique of «reduction» of spiral thinking;

• reprogramming emotional patterns (rejecting depressive thought forms and replacing them with more life-affirming ones);

• monitoring negative signals of reactive mind (the part of the thought process that is not under control).
