Its been a rough month.

Many changes were in the air during this month of March Madness. I spent most of my time in a therapy setting. In therapy, we learned allot about cognitive disorders and mood disorders. It turns out that Cognitive Behavior Therapy is extremely effective in treating depression. If I have any readers out there that are depressed, I highly recommend that you give Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT)a try. It trains you to think differently about your feelings, using critical thinking techniques and other means. In the end of CBT, you feel much more centered and you learn that feelings are controlled by thoughts. If you can change the way you think about a particular negative situation, then you will be able to change the way you feel about it.

I read a great book on this technique by Dr. David Burns. His book is titled, "Feeling Good." This book outlines and describes CBT very well and it gives the reader the tools that he/she may need to break through their own depression. This book should not replace seeing a therapist because this shouldn't be done on your own.



I will write more about Cognitive Behavioral Therapy later. I would like to provide my readers with some examples on how to beat their cognitive disorders. Its simple and effective and I am sure it will help even those that are not depressed.
