Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy

I have had depression in one form or another for about 10 years but it has really come to a head in the last 8 months, my doctor refered me to a cognative therapist which I have been seeing for the past 3 months. As part of the therapy he asked me to buy Feeling Good, feeling the way I did it took me a while to get it but I am glad I finally did get round to it. I had always thought that I was the only one in the world that was thinking the torturous things that were going through my mind, for the first time in my life there it was in black and white, many of the things I thought no one else could possibly be thinking. Seeing that in itself was a great help to me. Mr Burns writes this book very well and is easy to follow, just like the other books that have been written by him. Some of my family also suffer from depression and I am certain this book can help them too, but like any other sufferers it will only help if you are willing to help yourself.

A real eye opener - absolutely invaluable

The first thing this book did for me was help me to recognise how long and how much Anxiety and Depression had been affecting my life. Since the first time I read this book, I have been back to it, to re-read various chapters, over and over again. Over the last 18mths I honestly have been amazed at how it has improved my life. I have never felt more positive about the future. Some of the techniques require a lot of practice but it is SO well worth it. If you even think you may have or ever have suffered depression PLEASE read this book. Thank you Dr Burns.

Great book . This book is a must !!!!!

I have just bought this book and have read a chapter on procastination ("Do-nothingness"). Burns suggest over 6 ways go combat it. I have been trying to motivate myself to go regularly to the gym so that I can loose weight. After reading the section on Do-NothingNess I was able to challenge my reason for not going to the gym and find practical motivating reasons for going to the gym. I am now visiting the gym 3-4 times a week. I was only just about going once a week. I look forward to reading the other sections on selfworth, depression, diagnosing your mood, learn to talk back when you are under criticism, feeling angry, defeating guilt, coping with stress and strains of daily life, defeating hopelessness and suicuide, commonly prescribed anti depressants. Total of 700 pages and for just under £6 what a bargin!!! Debs
