Unfuck Your Brain Workbook: Using Science to Get Over Anxiety, Depression, Anger, Freak-Outs, and Triggers

By Faith G. Harper

Our brains are doing their best, but sometimes they act like real assholes and it can take a lot of work to calm them down. If you're dealing with unresolved trauma, depression, anxiety, anger, grief, or addiction, or just feel like your reactions to everyday events aren't what you want them to be, there are tons of tools to help with that. This workbook is packed with exercises for getting extra space between your thinking mind and your instinctive reactions so that you can be more likely to respond appropriately to the non-emergencies of daily life. Drawing from many different disciplines, including CBT, DBT, ACT, PTM, and somatic therapies, Dr. Faith Harper brings her signature practicality, humor, and warmth to the project of getting better so you can make friends with your brain and live the life you want.

This workbook can stand alone, or be used to accompany the Wall Street Journal bestselling Unfuck Your Brain. Regular people with messy brains can use this book straight off the shelf; additionally, each section includes guidance for clinical professionals, with the worksheets formatted to be easily used in your practice.
