Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

A practising psychologist, one of the top popularisers of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), offers a fresh, welcome approach for treating mental health issues that speaks to our times. By blending mindfulness and spirituality with CBT, the book effectively helps overcome negative thinking, achieve deep healing, and truly attain lasting peace.

Mental health professionals have numerous tools and techniques to help their patients battle depression and illness. However, while these methods can alleviate the pain, they are often only temporary. Based on his extensive knowledge of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and his personal experience with depression and illness, Dr. Seth J. Gillihan believes we need to do more than relieve our symptoms to become healthy and whole. To achieve long-lasting wellness and good health, we must embrace the spiritual in our healing.

By incorporating insights from both Christianity and Buddhism and mindfulness into the therapeutic process, we can exponentially magnify the healing CBT provides. Gillihan calls his method Mindful Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and shows how it can be used successfully to master negative thoughts and behaviours and choose the right actions to become fully present and at peace in our daily lives.

This extraordinary guide shows how to banish the stubborn lies we tell ourselvesβ€”that we're unlovable, stupid, unworthy, defectiveβ€”and adapt new healthful and spiritual practices. These practices can help us retrain our minds to focus on the deep truths of our existenceβ€”that we are perfect in our imperfections, and most important, that we are beings deserving of love.
