I'm able to reduce the automatic distorted thoughts that I have, which has really changed my behaviour. This took months though, so it's definitely a journey, and one worth taking. I really identified with the case studies, and it was such a relief to realise I'm not alone. However, I regret buying the eBook over a paperback, as the eBook is poorly laid out. So minus 1 star. It's a static page, so if you're on your phone, zoom does not automatically adjust to fit your screen.

The book is helpful but this version doesn't download as a PDF when you select "Download PDF" and it won't allow you to print off pages. I mainly purchased it for the worksheets to work on CBT but I am unable to print them.
