home CBT techniques

July 26, 2010 8:57 AM

Is there CBT or other therapy tools or techniques that can be used at home like homework? I'm thinking of the Conversation Wheel and the like.

This is an excellent CBT workbook for the home.

I don't know about paper, although I suspect there are workbooks, but if I recall correctly, is set up like this.

CBT Thought Records can be done on your own. Here's a worksheet (links to PDF)

I've seen The Feeling Good Handbook recommended here at MeFi quite often.

Another workbook to consider is Thoughts and Feelings by Matthew McKay.

I really cannot recommend Feeling Good (and the workbook) enough. It really works -- it's like magic. Thoughts & Feelings is also good, but I'd start with Feeling Good.

This got launched today on hacker news, so it's still pretty rough around the edges: EndAnts (automatic negative thoughts). Seems interesting. Web-based, so you can use it anywhere.

There are bunches of CBT workbooks with various tools included. I use the "Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Anxiety Workbook", myself.
