Master Your Emotions/Anxiety Workbook/ Mental Health Journal/Mental Wellness Journal/Cognitive Behavioral Therapy/Therapy Journal

Negative emotions are a natural and inevitable part of any person's life. Emotions such as anxiety, anger, resentment, guilt, shame, and depression are familiar to everyone. But when experiences overwhelm us headlong and manifest themselves at the most inopportune moments, then it's time to think about how to arm yourself with effective and proven ways of coping with excess negative emotions, and most importantly - to learn how to manage them before they begin to control us and our lives. Indeed, frequent, long-term and intense negative emotions that arise in everyday situations and are difficult to control can significantly reduce the quality of life and lead to excessive stress, various bodily symptoms and such unpleasant conditions as fussiness, nervousness, inability to relax, decreased concentration of attention, insomnia, sensations of burnout, fatigue, exhaustion and a nervous breakdown.

This book will help you learn reliable tools to help reduce inappropriate emotional responses, develop self-regulation skills that you can use in various stressful situations, and significantly improve your quality of life. However, the main thing is not just to know about your emotional problems, or even to understand where they come from, but to systematically practice the proposed techniques and exercises to develop stress resistance. The time and effort that you spend on working on yourself will definitely pay off in the future, and therefore it is important not just to read this book, but to carry out those techniques that are relevant to you and your practice problem. You can make notes, write down your realizations in the margins and periodically return to them in order to remind yourself of some important points that may eventually be forgotten. Let this book become your desktop for a while, and practice the skills described in it on a regular basis, and then in the future you will be grateful to yourself for being persistent and consistent.

In the process of writing this book, I studied a huge amount of literature on various methods of coping with stress and getting rid of emotional problems, and tried, based on the knowledge gained and our own experience of helping thousands of people with a variety of psychological problems, to create a book in which there would be nothing superfluous and which would incorporate clear, clearly stated, and most importantly - effective techniques, exercises and techniques for overcoming stress. This book is based on the principles of cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy, recognized by the World Health Organization as the most effective in the world for overcoming various emotional disorders. In addition to cognitive-behavioral therapy by Aaron Beck and rational-emotional-behavioral therapy by Albert Ellis, the work contains elements of metacognitive therapy by Adrian Wells, mindfulness therapy by John Kabat Zinn, reality therapy by William Glasser and others ...

The book presents basic exercises that help reduce overall emotional stress and stabilize the psychological state and physical well-being. You will be able to understand the nature and structure of the main stressful negative emotions - anxiety, anger, resentment, depression, guilt and shame, as well as master cognitive, behavioral, emotional and bodily practices that are specially selected to overcome each stressful emotion. You will learn how your distorted thinking leads you to stress, you can build a stress dossier by sorting it out, and learn ways to create healthy - more rational, realistic and rewarding thinking that contributes to the development of resilience. And you will also find algorithms for solving any life problems that arise from stress and, accumulating, only exacerbate it.

Happy reading and systematic work!
