Cognitive Behavioral Therapy can help you manage stress, reduce anxiety, and become more aware of your thought patterns. This easy-to-use notebook will guide you through the process of identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns so you can feel better. The purpose of this journal is to help you feel better by guiding you through the tools therapists and researchers consider the most effective for anxiety and mental health. It is designed to give you full autonomy; you can start however you want, go in order or not, and pick up whenever or wherever.
Who The Anti-Anxiety Therapy Notebook helps.
The Anti-Anxiety Therapy Notebook helps people who are suffering from anxiety and the related symptoms of depression, insomnia, and restlessness. This simple, straightforward tool can help you overcome your symptoms so that you can get back to living the life you want. Sometimes you can feel anxious or stressed and not know why. The Anti-Anxiety Notebook is a playbook for immediately addressing what's causing your stress—giving you a sense of greater control over your emotions.
How The Anti-Anxiety Therapy Notebook works.
Step 1: Set your intentions. At the start of The Anti-Anxiety Notebook, you'll check-in on your anxiety and set intentions for what change you want to see and feel. Plus, read helpful therapist tips to get started journaling right away. Knowing what you want to get out of The Anti-Anxiety Notebook will help you build self-awareness, motivation, focus—and track progress and growth—as you begin using the tools of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.
Step 2: Learn about the tools that work best to support you in that moment. We want to empower you with research and mental health knowledge about your lived experience with anxiety. Take some time to skim through the introduction and resources in the back to orient yourself to the journaling experience. When we understand how or why a tool or method works, we're often much better equipped to put it into practice. Our therapists distilled some of the best practices for anxiety so you can contextualise your day-to-day journaling practice in proven methods.
Step 3: Using the structured journal entries daily and after stressful situations can help you cope with stress, anxiety, and depression. Each journal entry is designed for you to use daily for ongoing reflection, or for when you need it. They're meant to take the pressure off by giving you helpful prompts and options for how you want to journal. Most of us have tried (and struggled) to insert a daily journaling exercise into our routines. Instead, the journal is here when you need it, so it never feels forced or like a chore.
Step 4: Reflect on your therapy experience with thoughtful notes crafted by therapists, for you. Each journal entry includes a Note From a Therapist with open space for continued writing. These are therapist-crafted tips, prompts, and guidance to help you cultivate deeper self-awareness and more “aha!” moments. Once you've had a chance to process and reframe your stressful situation, the reflection gives you a chance to take a step back and think about the bigger picture.
