Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, continues to grow in popularity as an efficient and long-lasting treatment for many different types of psychological problems. CBT is the psychological treatment your doctor is most likely to offer you if you consult them about a mental health problem. Since the COVID-19 global pandemic, the world has become more aware of the importance of mental health, but this awareness is still very far ahead of the availability of good-quality treatment. We sincerely hope that the advice in this book, taken from the leading, most proven form of psychological therapy, will make some small contribution toward offering help and guidance. If the word psychological sends you running from the room screaming, try to consider the term referring to problems that affect your emotional rather than your physical sense of well-being. At some point in your life, something is going to go a bit wrong with your body and seeking help is very natural for most of us. So why on earth do humans assume that their minds and emotions should be above the odd hiccup, upset, or even more serious difficulty? Happily, fewer stigmas about mental health difficulties like anxiety and depression exist now than when this book first published in 2005. This book offers a comprehensive introduction to the theory and application of CBT techniques. Although we don’t have the space to go into nitty-gritty specifics about how to use CBT to overcome every type of emotional or psychological problem, we do try to lead you in a helpful direction by giving an overview of some of the most common problems people encounter. You may not have realized just how common mental health problems can be. We aim to help you see that you aren’t alone, that there is help and that you certainly have no need to be embarrassed about seeking support! We believe all the CBT principles and strategies outlined in this book can improve your life and help you to stay healthy, regardless of whether you’ve worked with or are currently working with a psychiatrist or other psychological professional.

We ask you to be open-minded and to use the stuff in this book to make your life better and fuller.
