HTML: The very things we do to control anxiety can make anxiety worse. This unique guide offers a cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)-based approach to help you recognize the constant chatter of your anxious "monkey mind," stop feeding anxious thoughts, and find the personal peace you crave. Ancient sages compared the human mind to a monkey: constantly chattering, hopping from branch to branchâ??endlessly moving from fear to safety. If you are one of the millions of people whose life is affected by anxiety, you are familiar with this process. Unfortunately, you can't switch off the "monkey mind," but you can stop feeding the monkeyâ??or stop rewarding it by avoiding the things you fear. Written by psychotherapist Jennifer Shannon, this book shows you how to stop anxious thoughts from taking over using proven-effective cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and mindfulness techniques, as well as fun illustrations. By following the exercises in this book, you'll learn to identify your own anxious thoughts, question those thoughts, and uncover the core fears at play. Once you stop feeding the monkey, there are no limits to how expansive your life can feel. This book will show you how anxiety can only continue as long as you try to avoid it. And, paradoxically, only by seeking out and confronting the things that make you anxious can you reverse the cycle that keeps your fears alive Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

Shannon picks three composite patients (overworked boss who cannot manage, mom of an addicted son, and an illness-obsessed internet researcher) plus herself as touchpoints. She then describes the way the monkey mind hijacks our daily lives, our thoughts, and even our sense of well-being.
Since I tend to worry about work situations too much, or bring *those* conversations home with me, the alerts and plans of action in this book were quite relevant. She provided step-by-step guides, including internet links to her pages, where one can go for personalized charts that she uses.
A quick read, a helpful read, and one I could pick up and put down as needed. (
