Is there a good book on CBT? I've looked into Burn's collection and others, but they have so much filler and anecdotes about this one time they had a patient that thought they were ugly but was actually stunningly beautiful, then the simple steps they followed cured them etc.
Looking for something more practical on how to implement the techniques, not something trying to sell me that it works.
- kayodelycaon 4y agoHis “Feeling Good Handbook” is actually a good course if you treat it like a particularly slow textbook aimed at new students. Skim the exercises and anecdotes. You can stop reading after chapter 6. It’s just variations on the same theme from there. I also have a two page “crash course” I derived from it. It’s a worksheet and how to use it. It assumes you have some level of self-awareness and already understand the dangers of using CBT improperly.

Until then, I’m using unlisted links.
