Summary of Lawrence Wallace's Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, is a form of psychotherapy used to treat mental conditions. It radically changes negative thinking patterns and unhelpful behaviors using a mixture of simple behavioral techniques. #2 The first step is to recognize the obstacle you face. Once you’ve identified the obstacle, accepted it as real, and become determined to find a solution, you’re already well on your way to mental and emotional freedom. #3 CBT is based on the idea that thoughts determine behavior. If you’re acting out negative behaviors, it’s because of negative thoughts. CBT experts and numerous scientific studies demonstrate a direct correlation between thoughts and resulting behaviors. #4 CBT is a process of moving your life in the direction of better health over time. It is about a gradual process of moving your life in the direction of better health, and it is important to take an active interest in observing, understanding, and taking action to improve your thought patterns.
