Excellent breakdown and description between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. I gained a few tips to change the way I communicate with others. I also learned how to address gastro issues and insomnia. If you would like to learn how to make permanent changes in your life, this is a wonderful book.

This was an interesting take on Behaviour and how to help it. I took a course on cognitive behavioural therapy to help with my depression and sadly it did not help, this book did give more information on the subject but its not something that works for me.

I appreciate the publisher allowing me to read this book, I found this book very helpful it was well written in a very easy to understand format i highly recommend.

I've heard so many promising things about CBT and this book didn't disappoint. Granted it takes daily effort to see an ultimate change but it is worth it. This book and the guidance it provided has helped me with my insomnia as well as anxiety. I would recommend this book to anyone who is curious about CBT but afraid the instructions will either go over their head or that a licensed professional is required. Invest in yourself and the first step can definitely be with this book.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: Recognize and Overcome Behaviors for a Healthier, Happier You by Dr. Jayme Albin and Eileen Bailey is a nice resource for learning more about CBT and changing thoughts and behaviors. The information presented is easy to understand and the activities introduced can be utilized in numerous ways. #CognitiveBehavioralTherapy #NetGalley

Have finally decided I am not going to finish this book.
I was excited about the topic, and want to learn more, but this was not the book for me. It is very dry, and does not explain the HOW. It just gives examples. Might be good for some people, but not the right fit for me.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. It has great information and I will defiantly be recommending for customers.

This was an interesting take on this topic. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Great read. I highly recommend to anyone interested in this help.

This book is a great resource for anyone looking to change their behavior or way of thinking. It's easy to read and the language is clear and not overly technical. The exercises are straightforward and can be applied to many different situations.

This book is one that I could recommend as self-help.
It explains clearly what Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is and how to apply it to our everyday life.
How to manage our anxiety, compulsion and addiction. This information is precious and can help us or a person we love.

I requested this book and the book on mindfulness in hopes to continue my journey of self-healing. There are so many helpful chapters to lead you through the process. You’ll learn how to monitor or sift through your thoughts to let go of what does not serve you and so much more. This is a book I will be utilizing quite a bit in the months to come.

Thanks so much to DK Publishing and NetGalley for a copy of this book in return for an honest review!
