Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Journal For Dummies will be a new hardback product, featuring an introduction to CBT, followed by a guided 100-day journal. Each 'chapter' will focus on a new CBT technique, with guided information on how to use the journal space, followed by assessment advice at the end of the section. There will also be a CBT thought for the day on alternate blank pages. The content will be progressive, encouraging readers to keep working through the following days; there is therefore an opportunity for readers to buy multiple copies of the journal to further their development. Content will be generic to every user of CBT, rather than focussing on particular mood disorders. Topics covered include the following: Establishing the link between thoughts and feelings Preventing 'all or nothing' thinking Turning mountains back into molehills Focussing on the present Using emotional reasoning Avoiding over-generalising Thinking flexibly Keeping an open mind Assessing the positives Coping with frustration Removing yourself from the centre of the universe Tackling toxic thoughts Being objective Training yourself to focus your awareness Becoming more mindful Learning to ignore yourself Naming your emotions Comparing healthy and unhealthy emotions Defining your emotional problems Loosening your grip on control Gaining security Working through worry Setting goals Maximising your motivation Exploring your past Defining your core beliefs Preventing relapse Adopting positive principles
