Thanks for posting this! I got better using the CBT exercises the TEA form and counter exercise in the CBT book by Sam Obitz and it has been life changing for me. CBT seemed to basic to really help someone like me with severe anxiety and depression but I can tell you if you dedicate yourself to doing the exercises you will get relief pretty fast and certainly a lot faster than you ever thought you could. Med free too!Originally posted by Charlie Brown:

You rock, JRS!
Totally agree that combating your negative thoughts is the road to success. My therapist recommended I get the CBT book by Sam Obitz and do the TEA form exercise in it several years ago and I didn't follow through until someone posted on here about their success with them. About three years ago I got the book and started doing them and my life has completely turned around.
