You don’t have to relive painful emotions or traumatic events in order to heal-there is another way. With this workbook, you’ll cultivate a strengths-based mindset, learn strategies to manage anxiety and depression, and take charge of your mental health.

The hopelessness and lack of energy that comes with depression can make even simple daily tasks seem challenging and devoid of joy. And the worry, sense of dread, and panic that accompanies anxiety can be paralyzing. If you’ve sought out traditional therapeutic approaches, only to feel worse after “going over the past,” or “talking through painful memories,” you aren’t alone. Talk therapy can be a painful, grueling, and even triggering process that doesn’t work for everyone. What if there was a way to soothe your symptoms and focus on your strengths-and use those strengths to increase resilience and build a better life?

The Solution-Focused Workbook for Anxiety and Depression offers practical, evidenced-based solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT) tools with a uniquely positive focus to help you:

Recognize your inherent strengths
·Draw on coping skills you already have
·Cultivate self‑compassion
·Stay calm and collected in the moment
·Focus on creating a life of joy and hope

This solution-focused workbook will help you draw on your own strengths to improve your mental health and take charge of your life. You’ll also learn how hopeful “self-talk” can help you balance your emotions, increase positivity, and nurture your relationships. And finally, you’ll discover how to find peace of mind in the moment-even in stressful or difficult situations.
