Sure, there are workbooks you can buy if you don't have access to a psychologist or therapy group. The only catch is that there is nobody to push you to go through the exercises and you won't have the benefit of external feedback from a counselor or a peer group. You'll have to force yourself to do the exercises properly and it will take longer than if you had professional help.
Anyway, here's a few workbooks I found with minimal effort. Go over the reviews to decide which to try:

I also posted this awhile ago: http://news.ycombinator.org/item?id=2614140 http://news.ycombinator.org/item?id=2614140
That is an example of a therapy group program.
- gs7 15y agoThanks, I'll look into all of that. At this point I think I can do it myself because I'm pretty self-disciplined and once I set my mind to something I follow through. However if for some reason books aren't enough I will of course consider going to some sort of therapy group. Thanks again!
