[Ph...] Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Feeling Good by David Burns, MD The "bible" of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. And here's Dr. Burns' website: http://feelinggood.com/ My opinion: If there were ten books that were required reading for every person on the planet, this one would be near the top of the list!

[Up...] Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 A lot of people have mentioned excellent books by David Burns and Baylissa Frederrick, but have gotten tripped up on the titles: Baylisaa Frederick's "Benzo-Wise" is now called "Recovery and Renewal". Frederick shares soothing guidance while sharing her own account of recovery from benzos. The most popular David Burns books mentioned are: Feeling Good (subtitle: The New Mood Therapy) - for anxiety, depression, etc. Packed with great information. #1 on the list of "Top 1,000 Self-Help Books Recommended by Therapists. When Panic Attacks - for anxiety and panic If you buy and love either of these, a third popular one by Burns is "The Feeling Good Handbook." This one has more relationship tips than Feeling Good. If BWS is straining your primary relationships, this may be particularly useful. None of these books are expensive. In fact, they are all great buys at the price. BTW, I'd love to see some, "Someone recommended __________, and here's what I liked/didn't like" posts on this thread. I'm a reader, and have read probably hundreds of self-help books. I only recommend those that helped me dramatically. The ones above are among them--the top 1%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[si...] Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Thank you all but I have a slight problem with cognitive therapy books: I dont want to refuse my problems, my past, and ''rewire'' to be some sort of happy zombie that has gone all ''new age''... (although that would probably do help me). Would like to remain who I am, not change my worldview, as I want to remain an advocate for ecology and animal rights (two things that caused me major stress and depression past year). I can't avoid the things im passionate about because my involvement as volunteer helps those issues. My problem is how to remain a volunteer without losing my mind over it, getting depressed etc. How to keep resilience that is.... and belief in a better future without animal suffering and destruction of the natural habitat (and eventually of our humanity). Maybe im too philosophical a mind, but new age stuff will never work on me. Im too sceptical. I find books though like ''feel the fear and still do it'' very good for giving me hope and inner strength. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Ti...] Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 I have many of these books but the more you read about anxiety the more it comes to you. By reading so many self help and anxiety books it gets your mind more overanxious. There's more to think and worry about the more you read. I'm dealing with a therapist who's had anxiety and I feel it's much more helpful than when I was looking up anxiety o the internet and reading books regarding it too. People with anxiety are worriers and the more you read the more you doubt. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy or EMDR help to really change your thought patterns. Getting out of the snowball effect that it brings is easier with someone impartial who's very familiar with the subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest [St...] Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 The Worry Trick by David Carbonell. This book is very well structured with a "take home" at the end of each chapter. Very useful, very practical, direct and well executed to keep you interested. I have read most books on this string and this is by far my "go to" book for pleasant reminders every now and then to prevent myself from falling off the bus.

[mo...] Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Dr. Claire Weekes, all her books and recordings. I have "Self help for your nerves" and "Essential help for your nerves". Excellent advice for people suffering agoraphobia, anxiety, panic, fears etc. Barry McDonagh's DARE Response and his earlier work The Panic Away Program are minor updates on Dr. Weekes' work. I searched for this the whole forum, but couldn't find him. So I think his work is worth mentioning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Br...] Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 The Mindfulness & Acceptance Workbook for Anxiety by Forsyth and Eifert. Based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) - some reviewers on Amazon criticize it for being repetitive. It does repeat key points but personally I find this helps reinforce the points and helps me integrate the material. This book along with therapy, exercise and meditation (I love Headspace app) have been hugely helpful for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[di...] Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Descartes' Error by Antonio Damasio. If you read this, you might be able to relate it to phases in your withdrawal. It's a book that goes into a lot of detail, with case studies, about how emotion forms an essential part in being able to behave rationally and function socially. It's helping me put my experience in context. Anybody interested in the neuroscience of mind would enjoy this, it's relatable to my experience at least.
