A call for advice: I'm looking into cognitive behavioral therapy—specifically, I'm planning to use an online resource or a book to learn CBT methods in hopes of preventing my depression from recurring. It looks like these methods have a good chance of working, although the evidence isn't as strong as for in-person CBT. At this point, I'm trying to decide which resources to learn from. Any recommendations or anecdotes would be appreciated.
My wife's a psychologist and depression is one of her specialties. Here are her recommendations:
Self-Therapy for Your Inner Critic book
Free guided meditations for "The Mindful Way Through Depression" (get some practice before using "working with difficulty" meditation): streamable or downloadable
And the associated book
Please let us know how it goes.
I''v had success with Introducing Cognitive Behavioural Therapy: A Practical Guide
I recommend Feeling Good by David Burns. It'a a very good overview into CBT, covers all types of medication and was also recommended by Lukeprog IIRC.
I am also interested in learning more about CBT.
Mind Over Mood is ace!
