Рабочая тетрадь для выхода из круга навязчивых мыслей и эмоционального перенапряжения

Workbook for Exiting the Circle of Obsessive Thoughts and Emotional Strain. Methods of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy

Unpleasant thoughts and complex emotions are experienced by everyone, and that is normal. But sometimes negative reflections recur and over time become obsessive. Such a problem may indicate obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) or its prerequisites.

Obsessive thoughts and a continuous flow of complex feelings significantly affect the quality of life and prevent enjoyment of the present moment. The authors of the workbook, John Hershfield and Blaze Aguirre, drawing on their extensive experience in psychiatry and psychotherapy, explain how to effectively cope with obsessions (that is, recurring unwanted thoughts) and compulsions (that is, rituals and obsessive actions) and break the vicious cycle. As effective methods, the authors offer Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT).

John Hershfield and Blaze Aguirre utilize exposure in their practice: they advise clients to confront their own fears and not succumb to unhealthy recurring patterns. The theory in the workbook will help clarify everything, and the practical part will assist you in consolidating the material and implementing useful skills into your life.
