Finally! A book that does what it says!
Lots of very disappointing self-help books out there that promise to help you do things like “take charge of your adult ADHD,” “gain control of your anxiety” and “lift the fog of your depression,” but instead they merely take your money and offer nothing more than a bunch of history on the condition in question with a few anecdotal experiences sprinkled in for good measure. Thus far, all of the books I’ve purchased have turned out to be all fluff with no substance, providing no help at all. One disappointing waste of money after another. That is until I took a chance on “Retrain Your Brain.” Thank you whomever you are Seth Gillahan or whatever his name is lol. This book is structured. The author lets you know exactly what to expect from the book. He lets you know that he will provide a brief overview of CBT and why it works with brief information about depression and anxiety and then he will get into 7-weeks of giving you practical CBT skills to practice to improve your condition and functioning. You’ll work your week to week, much the same you would with a therapist.For the record. I have ADHD. Anxiety and depression often comes along with that. I started CBT with a therapist about 2 months ago but my therapist is ermmm, not very good at her job let’s just leave it at that, so I am on the hunt for a new therapist. In the meantime I decided to check out some self-help books to help myself in the meantime but kept coming up short with crappy book after crappy book. Any way, this book has helped me more than my last 2 months of therapy. You won’t be cured of depression or anxiety in 7 weeks of course (and the author lets you know that so that you know what to expect). However, if you take your time and motivated to improve your condition, this book can help you get measurable relief and improve your daily life.

Good Book
First of all, this is a workbook. Itâs a good workbook thatâs very helpful.If you want to write in it, I would get the actual workbook and not the kindle edition.

This Book is a Life Changer!
I have to admit that I am skeptic when it comes to trying new things. I donât like to try new foods, new shows, new placesâ¦nothing. I think it comes with the territory because trying new things can sometimes cause my anxiety to go into overdrive.About two months ago, I was feeling like I needed more than therapy. I was doing okay, but I wanted to be better than okay. I did some research on books about depression and anxiety and I came across Retrain Your Brain: Cognitive Behavior Therapy in 7 Weeks by Dr. Seth Gillihan. I canât remember what caused me to jump right on ordering this book (it may have been the free shipping that came with my Amazon prime account), but that doesnât really matter because it was meant for me to have this book.I donât think I have ever mentioned the fact that my bachelorâs degree is in psychology. I say that to say that one would think that I would have known about Cognitive Behavior Therapy, or CBT as it is referred to in the book. But, sadly prior to ordering this book, I had not (I could blame that on the fact that I hated psychology in college, but thatâs for another blog post).Even though I ordered the book and awaited itâs arrival like a child waiting for Christmas, it took me a few days to crack it open. Not that there was anything wrong with the book itself, but it was skepticism about a workbook that could help me battle depression and anxiety that kept me from wanting to dive right in.Without giving this workbook totally away, this workbook has been a LIFE CHANGER! A little disclaimer: I am in therapy and I see my therapist once a month at least. But, if it is any consolation, when I walked into my last therapy appointment with this book in my hand, my therapist informed me that she was in the process of ordering the SAME book. This further confirmed that I was on the right path.The workbook is easy to digest, meaning it isnât filled with scientific jargon that makes it hard to understand. It truly does empower people who suffer from depression and anxiety to learn how to be their own therapist by gaining the CBT skills to combat the negative, aggressive, and overwhelming thoughts and emotions that come with both.Because of this book, my approach to new things has been different, my anxiety has decreased, and my negative thoughts donât linger like they used to. It doesnât mean that they arenât there, but I can combat them like ninja when they hit me. I have also shared my work with my husband and it has helped him better support me.I highly recommend this book to anyone who suffers from depression and anxiety.

Very helpful
This book efficiency actually surprised me. It came up as a suggested book and because I have been in therapy for months, I figured it was worth a shot. The book is very descriptive and helps you to understand the conditions and gives you writing prompts and tools to help yourself get through the tough times. I am about half way through it and have already learned a ton. I highly recommend this book to anyone struggling.

I loved this book, it was a nice journey, it improved my life a lot, I grateful to have read it
PETER RUSSELL –
This was by far the BEST out of four self help books I bought to help with anxiety. It explains the different types of anxiety, and their causes, and enabled me to write some notes for myself that I am certain will be a support base for me now and in the future. I feel that it has given me a foundation for reducing my anxiety, and I have seen very positive results in myself in the seven weeks that I have been using it. For me, it has been a godsend.

Really helpfully, finish at ur own pace or in 7 weeks but dont quit. The result is worth it.
Javed –
It is not a very exciting and interactive book. I wasnât satisfied with the explanation and types of exercises given. I found it very boring.
