Product Description
There are hundreds of books that will try to help you “overcome” or “put an end to” depression. But what if you could use your depression to change your life for the better? Your symptoms may be signals that something in your life needs to change. Learning to understand and interpret these signals is much more important than ignoring or avoiding them–approaches that only make the situation worse. This workbook uses techniques from acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to offer a new treatment plan for depression that will help you live a productive life by accepting your feelings instead of fruitlessly trying to avoid them.
The Mindfulness & Acceptance Workbook for Depression will show you, step-by-step, how to stop this cycle, feel more energized, and involve yourself in pleasurable and fulfilling activities that will help you work through, rather than avoid, aspects of your life that are depressing you. Use the techniques in this book to evaluate your own depression and create a personalized treatment plan. You’ll enrich your total life experience by focusing your energy not on fighting depression, but on living the life you want.
“Grounded in ancient wisdom and the newest scientific evidence, this book…shows the pathways into and out of depression.”
–Mark Williams, professor of clinical psychology and Wellcome Principal Research Fellow at the University of Oxford

This book is great to work with a group or on your own. The cd has a great selection of music with meditation exercises to follow along with. The stories shared vary in different areas of how depression can affect people in many differnt ways. I am using this book as material and reference in a womens support group. It has already made an impact within the group. The women are opening up and sharing. I am glad I chose this book. Karla H.
