Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Depression (CBT-D) is a proven, evidence-based form of CBT specifically designed to treat major depressive disorder and depressive symptoms. While general CBT is popular in self-help for addressing a wide range of mental health issues like anxiety and phobias, CBT-D focuses on changing the negative thought patterns, self-defeating behaviors, and heavy emotions that make depression so difficult to manage.
Offering practical strategies from three key areas of treatment—behavior, thoughts, and emotion—the Managing Depression CBT Deck can help you lift the fog of depression, even if you’re struggling with hopelessness, overwhelm, and low motivation.
Managing Depression CBT Deck includes:
- 100 sturdy, color-coded cards with cognitive restructuring exercises, behavioral activation techniques, problem-solving skills, and coping strategies from CBT-D
- Special “Lifeline” cards designed to provide immediate support with effective and achievable strategies, important reminders, and recommended resources
- A beginner-friendly summary booklet featuring sensible advice, a comprehensive skills index, and practical troubleshooting tips
- Expert guidance by a licensed psychologist who specializes in cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based approaches to treat depression, anxiety, and other disorders
