Behavioral Activation: Activity Log

This tool is based in the understanding that small things we do can change how we feel. Because depression can impact your desire or motivation to do anything, Behavioral Activation helps you plan and follow through with small actions that ladder up to a change in how you feel.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: Thought Log

CBT helps you look at your thoughts more objectively and create space between a situation and the automatic thoughts and feelings that arise from it. The Thought Log helps you understand which automatic thought patterns your mind most often gravitates to, and helps you practice looking at the situation with greater clarity and nuance.

SUCCESS STORIES

ACT and DBT have been instrumental to how I live my life, and as someone with persistent depression, this notebook is a necessary tool for rediscovering how to process my life.

Ashley L.

This guided book is great if you are trying to manage moments of depression on your own or as a companion of you're being treated by a therapist. The guided prompts help structure your thoughts and see them on paper, rather than spiraling in your own head.

Natali T.

I found that working through the exercises was extremely helpful in reframing several issues that were getting me upset and helping me to focus more on what I enjoy, rather than on those things that are upsetting.

Anne E.

Even just a few pages of reading gives an idea or tool that helps to slowly lift me out of it.
