Depressive and anxious. Dialectical behavioral therapy. Workbook

In his book, Depressed and Anxious: Dialectical Behavior Therapy: A Workbook for Overcoming Depression and Anxiety, Thomas Marra has adapted the powerful techniques of dialectical behavior therapy to the specific needs of people who suffer from mixed depression and anxiety. This is what professionals call comorbid depression and anxiety, when you have both disorders at the same time.

The techniques and strategies presented in this book should be used systematically. And think of this book as an emotional guide to help you reduce mixed anxiety and depression.

It is not enough to read this book once, take a few notes, and expect an emotional transformation. Unfortunately, that is not how it works. Practice every day. Make copies of the worksheets at the back of this book and use them as daily prompts for using emotional and behavioral strategies that are different from those you are used to. Different behaviors and a different approach to your suffering can gradually lead to the changes you desire and deserve.
