Stop Catastrophizing: How to Quit Making Yourself Depressed and Anxious about the Future Paperback – October 11, 2022

I will honestly say that I struggle with anxiety and have obsessive, worrying thoughts almost constantly. I thought this book might give me a direction to go in to get the help I know I need. The beginning of the book looks at what catastrophizing is and how it impacts all aspects of your life. Also, it is looked at how this negative thought spiraling or constant looking for the worst, can lead to other manifestations in your physical health. I had never really made all of those connections before. This book uses Cognitive Behavior Therapy to help address catastrophizing, and how you can start to practice this therapy at home. There is also a chapter though on when to know if you need to see a professional therapist and get help there. So, I appreciate that the book is realistic in that it would be great if we can treat ourselves at home, but there is no shame in needed more help from experienced professionals. This is the honest approach I was looking for.

If you were always worrying that the worst will happen it can have serious risks to your overall health. Luckily, this well written book is here to help before it gets out of control.

I thought this was an actual medical book to deal with catastrophizing. It was written in the largest font possible and then double-spaced, to try to make something out of nothing. This was self-published, there is no bio of the author, and it really feels like it was written by AI. A huge disappointment.

This book is full of typographical errors. No one took the time to proof read. That is a bad sign. The basis of this book is to find a therapist and you will need that person to treat your thinking issues. I was looking for a self help book. This is not it although there is some helpful ideas I can incorporate to my thinking.

This self help book is a magnificent tool for individuals with an array of conditions, symptoms and behaviors.Cooper dives into each cond head on, explaining in easy to take manner.Also should be noted that book includes several informational techniques for different breathing exercises.

I really liked this book and it deals with a topic that we are all familiar with: the stresses of everyday life, which can put a strain on the body and mind, leaving us with nagging worries and fears that sometimes seem out of control. There are techniques that I can practise anywhere, at home, in the office or even on the road, also helped by cognitive behavioural therapy. The reading was very smooth, the recommended steps are simple and easy to follow and it provided me with real solutions.

Book that guides you towards the resolution of catastrophic thoughts. It gives you valuable help in dealing with and annihilating them. It teaches you how to manage them, explains everything about cognitive behavioral therapy. How to get the most out of this therapy and help you stop worrying about unnecessary things that don't matter. I recommend the purchase

I often think too much and spoil the mood for the whole day, and thanks to this book I learned what catastrophe is, and the right therapy to deal with it. I have improved a lot and have learned to control my thoughts permanently. Fantastic!

This book helped me understand that intrusive thoughts are not my inner desires but just thoughts that I have no control over. For the first time, it felt like I wasn’t alone in some of my intrusive thoughts.

For those who are facing depression firsthand, but also simply for those who really want to understand it beyond prejudices, there are several clear and exhaustive books .
