‘We all have aspects of ourselves that we would like to change, but many of us believe that a leopard can’t change its spots – if that’s you, stop there! Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Dummies will help identify unhealthy modes of thinking – such as ‘a leopard can’t change it’s spots’! – that have been holding you back from the changes you want. CBT can help whether you’re seeking to overcome anxiety and depression, boost self-esteem, lose weight, beat addiction or simply improve your outlook in your professional and personal life.’
