  The guidebook is an invaluable tool for your journey to recovery. It helps you personalize the program for your specialized needs through educational tools and techniques, exercises for personal introspection, valuable self-evaluations, and goal-setting exercises.

  Each carry-along card summarizes the highlights of your corresponding audio session so you can easily review the positive focus of your week's topic - in a "flash"!

• Cognitive Restructuring: You will learn to recognize negative thinking patterns that influence feelings and behavior. Typical negative thinking patterns may include:
  • Distorted concept of self and ability
  • Pessimistic attitude and assumptions
  • Limiting beliefs
  • Negative or scary thoughts
  When you recognize that certain thoughts produce unpleasant emotional consequences, and you are given a new, healthier way to think and respond within that same environment, you will be empowered to choose that new way of thinking because it will produce a more pleasant life-experience.
• Behavior Modification: The program will help you focus on changing unhealthy or unwanted behaviors that reinforce our negative thinking patterns. Behavioral strategies are used for coping with a wide range of human behaviors including procrastination, anger, or self-medicating with food, alcohol or other substances.
  
  We leverage CBT-based methodology in our program because it is a tested and proven treatment for anxiety and depression:
• There are no dangerous or unpleasant side effects
The long-term effects of CBT treatment are lasting and fulfilling.

The message of anxiety and depression may be that you're weak, unworthy, and incapable.
