SOS Help for Emotions
Managing Anxiety, Anger, and Depression
Lynn Clark presents self-help tools based on CBT and REBT for working with anxiety, anger, and low mood.
The book uses plain language, diagrams, exercises, and examples. The publisher also provides free streaming videos that reinforce core concepts.
Spot the ABCs
Separate the activating event, beliefs or self-talk, and emotional or behavioral consequences.
Dispute beliefs
Question extreme demands, catastrophizing, low frustration tolerance, and global judgments.
Practice alternatives
Rehearse realistic thoughts and constructive behaviors repeatedly, not only during crisis.
The ABC framework makes the link between events, interpretations, emotions, and actions easier to teach and remember.
Adults, older teens, counselors, educators, and guided skills groups using appropriate examples.
