Are your thoughts bothering you? Drawing on cutting-edge neuroscience and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), this essential book will help you get rid of unwanted thoughts and get back to what matters. Renowned psychologist David A. Clark presents a targeted approach to help you overcome unwanted psychic intrusions. You'll learn how to change the destructive patterns responsible for perpetuating anxious and depressive thinking and strip those upsetting thoughts of their meaning—a process Clark calls "detoxification." Finally, you will learn to cope with the shame that may accompany these thoughts.
