Publisher's Summary

Why is it so hard to lose weight, stop smoking, or establish healthy habits? Why do couples argue about the same issues over and over? Why do so many people lie awake at night, stricken with worry and anxiety? Why is it so difficult to come to terms with a loved one's death, even if it's after a long illness?

The answers to these questions - and the path to lasting change in your life - lie in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a well-tested collection of practical techniques for managing moods and modifying undesirable behaviors through self-awareness, critical analysis, and goal-oriented change. CBT illuminates the links between thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and physical health and uses those connections to develop concrete plans for self-improvement. Built on a solid foundation of neurological and behavioral research, CBT is an approach almost anyone can use for promoting greater mental health and improving quality of life.

In 24 engaging half-hour lectures, you'll build a robust and effective self-improvement toolkit with the expert guidance of Professor Satterfield of the University of California, San Francisco. You will explore CBT's roots in Socratic and stoic philosophy, build a toolkit of CBT techniques, and hear about the latest research about its outcomes. Additionally this intriguing and practical course allows you to take on the role of medical student, physician, psychologist, and patient.

Throughout the course you'll explore issues that cause people to seek out therapy. In some cases you'll get to hear Dr. Satterfield working with a patient, and in others you'll be delving into research to find what causes issues and how CBT helps to resolve them.

Everyone has something about their life that they would like to improve. With the tools in CBT and the desire to make your situation better, you can create lasting change in your life.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Great book for Psych students and in general.

The author is also the narrator. Cuts & examples to make it feel more tangible.

So many “ah-ha” moments!

After battling PTSD and MDD for years, this intro to CBT was way more than I expected! I found myself constantly think “this makes so much sense”. I know so many people that will find this series helpful and will gladly share it with all of them. Highly recommend!

Jason is a genius

This is a life changing series I don’t think there could be a better learning experience for someone who is struggling with mental health. It’s a game changer. Absolutely recommend it!

CBT

A great audiobook, one of the best for anyone interested in the subject. It’s not a cure for anyone in acute psychological distress but for healtcare professionnal or anyone with mild symptoms, it’s worth every penny. I highly recommend this audiobook over the 3 or 4 other that i bought and were in total more expensive. Thank you Dr Satterfield !

Learn how to beat your bad habits

I recommend this book for anyone struggling with addiction, looking to break a bad habit or just looking to improve your overall mood. This book is broke up into bite sized sections where you can work along with it as well as dive deeper with the narrators recommended reading material

Gopd except for the case studies

I enjoy the clinical summary and explanation, but the case studies are unnecessary in my opinion. It's incredibly personal and I find way too specific and detailed. Example being discussing stress and then going into Maria's deepest stress, her depression, what is happening with her husband, I skip through the case discussing because it's so specific to one person. If I was planning on being a psychologist maybe it would resonate more.
