In this powerful book, two anxiety experts offer proven-effective cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) skills to help you get unstuck from disturbing thoughts, overcome the shame these thoughts can bring, and reduce your anxiety. If you suffer from unwanted, intrusive, frightening, or even disturbing thoughts, you might worry about what these thoughts mean about you. Thoughts can seem like messages--are they trying to tell you something? But the truth is that they are just thoughts, and don't necessarily mean anything. Sane and good people have them. If you are someone who is plagued by thoughts you don't want--thoughts that scare you, or thoughts you can't tell anyone about--this book may change your life. In this compassionate guide, you'll discover the different kinds of disturbing thoughts, myths that surround your thoughts, and how your brain has a tendency to get "stuck" in a cycle of unwanted rumination. You'll also learn why common techniques to get rid of these thoughts can backfire. And finally, you'll learn powerful cognitive behavioral skills to help you cope with and move beyond your thoughts, so you can focus on living the life you want. Your thoughts will still occur, but you will be better able to cope with them--without dread, guilt, or shame. If you have unwanted thoughts, you should remember that you aren't alone. In fact, there are millions of people just like you--good people who have awful thoughts, gentle people with violent thoughts, and sane people with "crazy" thoughts. This book will show you how to move past your thoughts so you can reclaim your life! This book has been selected as an Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies Self-Help Book Recommendation--an honor bestowed on outstanding self-help books that are consistent with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) principles and that incorporate scientifically tested strategies for overcoming mental health difficulties. Used alone or in conjunction with therapy, our books offer powerful tools readers can use to jump-start changes in their lives."--Provided by publisher. 517 3 $aCBT-based guide to getting over frightening, obsessive, or disturbing thoughts 517 3 $aCognitive behavioral therapy-based guide to getting over frightening, obsessive, or disturbing thoughts 606 $aIntrusive thoughts 606 $aThought insertion 606 $aCognition disorders 606 $aCognitive therapy 606 $aAnxiety disorders 606 $aInterference (Perception) 606 $aAnxiety disorders 606 $aAnxiety 606 $aCognitive Disorders 606 $aCognitive Therapy 606 $aStress, Psychological 606 $aThinking 606 $aAnxiety disorders$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01738149 606 $aCognition disorders$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00866486 606 $aCognitive therapy$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01432033 606 $aInterference (Perception)$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00976229 606 $aIntrusive thoughts$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01741503 606 $aThought insertion$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01150275 615 0$aIntrusive thoughts. 615 0$aThought insertion. 615 0$aCognition disorders. 615 0$aCognitive therapy. 615 0$aAnxiety disorders. 615 0$aInterference (Perception) 615 1$aAnxiety disorders. 615 2$aAnxiety. 615 2$aCognitive Disorders. 615 2$aCognitive Therapy. 615 2$aStress, Psychological. 615 2$aThinking. 615 7$aAnxiety disorders. 615 7$aCognition disorders. 615 7$aCognitive therapy. 615 7$aInterference (Perception) 615 7$aIntrusive thoughts. 615 7$aThought insertion. 676 $a616.8 700 $aWinston$b Sally M.$01498172 702 $aSeif$b Martin N. 801 0$bBTCTA 801 1$bBTCTA 801 2$bYDXCP 801 2$bBDX 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bGO9 801 2$bORX 801 2$bFM0 801 2$bOCLCF 801 2$bTXLBH 801 2$bIUL 801 2$bVET 801 2$bOCLCO 801 2$bSFR 801 2$bMVQ 801 2$bOCLCQ 801 2$bDLC 801 2$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bCaOWtU 912 $a9910792788603321 996 $aOvercoming unwanted intrusive thoughts$93723645 997 $aUNINA
