Don’t let anxiety and depression keep you from living life to the
fullest. If you suffer from co-occurring anxiety and depression,
you may experience an overwhelming urge to avoid difficult emotions
and emotional experiences. The last thing you want to do is kick
the hornet’s nest you carry around with you. However, the latest
research in psychology emphasizes the importance of
approaching—rather than avoiding—your emotions. Avoiding
emotions works in the short term, but in the long term it only
teaches you to believe you can’t handle your feelings. What you
need is a solid set of tools that will allow you to feel a full
range of emotions with confidence. This book will provide just the
tool set you require. In this workbook, psychologist Michael
Tompkins offers evidence-based cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT)
skills to help you target and tear down the emotional avoidance
barriers that drive your anxiety and depression. By engaging with
the emotions you’ve been seeking to avoid, you’ll learn, “I
can handle this feeling.” You’ll also find strategies to help
you stay calm during emotional situations; and discover relaxation
and mindfulness techniques to deal effectively with difficult
thoughts and feelings, and improve your mood and well-being. The
tools in this workbook help you learn this important lesson: You
can handle emotions, even unpleasant ones. When you believe you can
handle feeling anxious and depressed, you’re less likely to avoid
those feelings, creating space for you to be more willing to do the
things that you want to do in your life.
