The CBT Workbook

If you've heard the same recommendation from a GP, a friend, a podcast, or a therapist — "you might benefit from CBT" — and you want to actually understand what that means, work through it properly, and not be left with another self-help book full of platitudes, this workbook was written for you. CBT is not a mood-boosting exercise. It is a structured, evidence-based therapy, and it can be learned.

CBT WORKBOOK | 294 Pages

A Complete Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Programme

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

CBT is not positive thinking, motivational phrases, or "just looking on the bright side." It is the most-researched psychological therapy in the world — the gold-standard recommended by NICE and the NHS for anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD, and many other difficulties. It maps the relationship between your thoughts, feelings, behaviours, and bodily sensations, and gives you systematic tools to interrupt the patterns that keep distress in place.

This workbook teaches you to understand and change those patterns — across whatever they are showing up as in your life.

WHAT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO DO BY THE END

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

✦ Understand the cognitive triangle — how thoughts, feelings, behaviours, and bodily sensations create the loops you are stuck in

✦ Identify your cognitive distortions (catastrophising, mind-reading, all-or-nothing thinking, fortune-telling, and the rest)

✦ Use structured thought records to catch and restructure unhelpful thinking in real time

✦ Run behavioural experiments to test the beliefs that anxiety, depression, and self-criticism rely on

✦ Apply Behavioural Activation — the most evidence-based intervention for low mood — to your own life

✦ Build problem-solving and decision-making skills that work under pressure, not just in calm moments

✦ Develop relapse-prevention work so the skills hold when life gets harder

✦ Have a working CBT toolkit you can return to for anxiety, depression, stress, perfectionism, or any difficulty that runs on a thinking-feeling-behaviour loop

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

THERAPEUTIC APPROACHES INCLUDED

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

✦ Cognitive Restructuring — identifying and challenging the thinking patterns that drive distress

✦ Behavioural Activation — the most evidence-based intervention for depression and low motivation, recommended by NICE as a standalone treatment

✦ Behavioural Experiments — structured ways to test the beliefs anxiety and self-criticism rely on, safely and systematically

✦ Thought Records — the day-to-day skill that holds the rest of CBT together

✦ The Cognitive Triangle and Vicious Flower Formulations — for understanding how a cycle keeps itself running and where it can be interrupted

✦ Problem-Solving Therapy techniques — for when the issue is genuinely external, not just cognitive

ABOUT THIS RESOURCE

━━━━━━━━━━━━

Created by Dr Jo Stuart, Consultant Clinical Psychologist with over 25 years of experience using CBT clinically across anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, and psychological overload — and Fleur Lisa Dumonbreville, CEO and senior operational leader of one of the UK's leading Facility Services.

This is not a watered-down self-help book or a workbook of motivational quotes. It is a structured, 294-page clinical CBT programme in digital workbook form — the foundational toolkit that sits underneath every condition-specific workbook in the CEO Mind and Doctor Method series, made accessible without the waiting list and without the four-figure cost.

If you are looking for the one CBT resource to actually work through, this is it. If you have a more specific difficulty — health anxiety, OCD, depression, insomnia, chronic stress, chronic pain, eating disorders, or body image — the condition-specific workbooks in the series layer ACT and CFT on top of CBT for that particular system.
