Been There, Done That? Do this! - Sam Orbiz book questions
Hey everyone, browsing through the forums I always see people recommending and praising Sam Orbiz's book, "Been There, Done That? Do This!" and I'm wondering exactly what it's about and what the content is like. I only know that it includes these TEA exercises that seem really helpful.
Re: Been There, Done That? Do this! - Sam Orbiz book questio
Hi Perspectivegirl and welcome to the site. The book is based on CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) and is focused on the TEA form and a couple of other key exercises. The author is a former sufferer of anxiety, depression and panic disorder as well as suicidal thoughts. It's a quick read and pretty basic but also inspiring. All the exercises in it are good and have helped me tremendously but the only one I still do regularly is the TEA form exercise. It's really self-help in its truest form and if you work at the exercises daily I think you will start finding success that surprises you in a matter of a couple of months or so. I'm going to try and check in more frequently so feel free to ask any other questions you have

My life is going better than I ever could have hoped. Isn't it great not to be bound up with worry all the time anymore?
