A Guide to Eliminating Random Thoughts: Using Cognitive Behavioral Strategies to Get Out of Emotional Difficulties

A practical guide to deal with all kinds of daily negative emotions to save you from your random thoughts. Have you ever had the experience of being mired in catastrophic thoughts about certain problems, only to realize after reviewing them that the root cause of the problem was not worth mentioning? Because you went to talk to friends about some issues, and were awakened by their words, thinking from a new perspective, and were immediately relieved? When you start thinking differently, your feelings will change and countless annoying thoughts will be swept away. Our daily experiences demonstrate this simple truth—how we think determines how we feel. This idea is the core principle of cognitive behavioral therapy. This book is a comprehensive and easy-to-understand introduction to cognitive behavioral therapy, covering eight major negative emotions such as frustration, anger, anxiety, low self-esteem, and depression that can be seen everywhere in daily life. For each emotional problem, the author provides very practical solutions and exercises to help us dig out the misconceptions behind our emotions, use thinking and actions to reverse our feelings, and stay away from unhealthy ways of thinking.
