Better Mental Health for Everyone

This workbook is designed for those seeking ways to deal with anxiety, depression or anger brought on by everyday events. By retraining your brain using these time-tested cognitive-behavioral techniques, you can manage your reactions and lead a more peaceful and productive life. We all deal with small stressors every day -- but the small things can add up. If we can learn to manage the small stuff, then it becomes easier to deal with the bigger stressors in life. This workbook provides tools and techniques that have benefitted over one million people. Every day stressors might mean getting stuck in traffic, being late, feeling frustrated with someone -- even one's self. It might mean the stress encountered in caregiving, or in dealing with a chronic physical illness. Frustrations at work, with family and friends, in relationships -- or doing everyday tasks like cooking, cleaning or driving can all lead to getting worked up. Learning to identify and manage one's emotions, and to change the way these small stressors are perceived, can create major and lasting change in our lives. The Recovery Method is based on cognitive behavioral techniques developed by neuropsychiatrist Dr. Abraham Low during the course of more than 25 years working with his patients. This method can be used as a self-help workbook, as part of a peer-led program or group, or as an adjunct to professional treatment. Recovery International is a non-profit organization founded to help people achieve Better Mental Health. The organization has offered peer-led self-help groups since 1937.
