Change Your Thinking
Sarah Edelman
Change your thinking by Sarah Edelman is one of my favourite resources. I first picked it up at a bookstore many years ago, before I had even heard of kinesiology.
CBT or cognitive behavioural therapy is a model of therapy that asks the individual to challenge their thought processes and teaches them to change the way they are thinking.
I am a huge fan of CBT because it works very well for me and I enjoy the practicality of it, especially the fact that it aligns with many eastern principles of happiness.
This book presents a very matter of fact way of working with thoughts, you will probably find that most CBT therapists are ‘no nonsense’ types, this is one of the things I like about it as a form of treatment, it does not really allow space for victim mentality to enter into treatment. However, the lack of flexibility in the therapy is one of the reasons I don’t practice CBT on it’s own. I use many of the techniques outlined throughout this book to help my clients who are engaged in habitual negative thinking and who need a model to help them move out of those patterns.
I have also found that this book is great for working with children and teens stuck in negative thought processing, it provides the individual with tools they can use to work on their thoughts as well as providing family members and friends with tools for helping people work through stressful situations.
As a personal development text I rate it 4/5
