The CBT Deck for Clients and Therapists

Reduce stress in your life with practical, action-orientated, and mindfulness tools to quickly build positive emotions in your life. The 101 practices inside The CBT Deck will help you:

• Calm and redirect your thoughts
• Overcome self-limiting beliefs
• Choose actions that build the life you want
• Be more connected and engaged in the present moment

Sample cards:

• The next time you're upset with someone you care about, write down the thoughts you're having about them. Then, take a closer look at each one. Is it true? Does it tell the whole story? How do these thoughts affect your feelings toward your loved one? Write down any alternative ways of thinking that might better fit reality.
• Nothing has a bigger impact on our well-being than our connections to others. Think of someone you know who brings out the best in you and who obviously values you. Contact this person today, and arrange a time to get together if they live close by, or to speak by phone if they are far away.
• We often rush from one thing to another, feeling like there's never enough time. You might even start to see time as the enemy. Choose one task today that you'll allow to take as long as it takes. Release any sense of pressure or clock watching. You don't have to go slowly; just be present and aware that you've been given the time you need.
