Self-Help for Those Suffering Anxiety Disorders

Someone here is using CBT and I can't remember who it is

I had three years with a cognitive behavior therapist after my accident. It helped me quite a bit.

I have a CBT workbook, but I haven't even had time to open it

What is Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy?

The single most important tool she had me do was a gratitude journal....sounds easy, but it turned my thinking around completely. She also helped with the way I thought, I wasn't thinking the right way at all!

Terry could you explain what a gratitude journal is?

It is a journal that lists everything you are great full for each day. As time passes you find yourself looking for new things to be great full for. It is a really good thing to do every once in a while.

That's a good idea Terry. You don't realize all you have until you look at it square in the face

I got to the point that I couldn't even get angry anymore, I would simply say, Lord, thank you for showing me another way not to ever treat another human

I've learned, the hard way, that anger accomplishes nothing. Could be why I'm always in deep doo doo all the time

Not to say I don't get angry, I just control it better! I mean we still have to stilck up for ourselvels; like finding out yesterday that I been entited to bonuses every month since I stated this job and never got them and have been cheated out of almost $8,000.00 why the heck should I be mad
