Reviews Elsewhere – Retrain your Brain by Seth Gillihan
Spotted another book review from the Pysch Central website that might be of interest to readers.
Quoting the reviewer, Tina Arnoldi:
People who are in a dark depression or overwhelmed by anxiety are not inclined to pick up a book to go through a self-guided program. However, people who recognize that something is wrong and have even a small bit of motivation could very well benefit from Retrain Your Brain: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in 7 Weeks: A Workbook for Managing Depression and Anxiety, by Seth Gillihan. These are the people have some insight into how they feel but need the tools in order to make changes.
The assumption with this workbook is that readers can be active participants in CBT, since they are experts about themselves. For someone who is seriously depressed or highly anxious, though, I would encourage them to work through this workbook with a therapist rather than try to work through it alone.
Check out the full review, and if you’ve used this book yourself, let us know what you think!
