Your nervous system is you. All the thoughts, perceptions, moods, passions, and dreams that make you an active, sentient being are the work of this amazing network of cells. For many centuries, people knew this was true. But no one was sure how it happened. Now, thanks to the exciting new field of neuroscience, we can chart the workings of the brain and the rest of the nervous system in remarkable detail to explain how neurons, synapses, neurotransmitters, and other biological processes produce all the experiences of everyday life, in every stage of life.

No subject is bigger than reality itself, and nothing is more challenging to understand, since what counts as reality is undergoing continual revision and has been for centuries. The quest to pin down what's real and what's illusory is both philosophical and scientific, a metaphysical search for ultimate reality that goes back to the ancient Greeks. For the last 400 years, this search has been increasingly guided by scientists, who create theories and test them in order to define and redefine reality.

Story
CBT is mostly used everywhere as therapy for anxiety disorders; many researches have been undergone to show that the effectiveness of this treatment of phobia's, generalized disorders, and panic disorder among so many other likely conditions. Mental health issues imbalance your thoughts. It is my hope that by trying some of these methods, you can learn to reach deep within yourself. By doing this you will begin to make major changes to your life. Mental health imbalances are debilitating to everyday life. The important factor here is that they are curable.
Summary
Why is it so hard to lose weight, stop smoking, or establish healthy habits? Why do couples argue about the same issues over and over? Why do so many people lie awake at night, stricken with worry and anxiety? Why is it so difficult to come to terms with a loved one's death, even if it's after a long illness?
The answers to these questions - and the path to lasting change in your life - lie in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a well-tested collection of practical techniques for managing moods and modifying undesirable behaviors through self-awareness, critical analysis, and goal-oriented change. CBT illuminates the links between thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and physical health and uses those connections to develop concrete plans for self-improvement. Built on a solid foundation of neurological and behavioral research, CBT is an approach almost anyone can use for promoting greater mental health and improving quality of life.
In 24 engaging half-hour lectures, you'll build a robust and effective self-improvement toolkit with the expert guidance of Professor Satterfield of the University of California, San Francisco. You will explore CBT's roots in Socratic and stoic philosophy, build a toolkit of CBT techniques, and hear about the latest research about its outcomes. Additionally this intriguing and practical course allows you to take on the role of medical student, physician, psychologist, and patient.
Throughout the course you'll explore issues that cause people to seek out therapy. In some cases you'll get to hear Dr. Satterfield working with a patient, and in others you'll be delving into research to find what causes issues and how CBT helps to resolve them.
Everyone has something about their life that they would like to improve. With the tools in CBT and the desire to make your situation better, you can create lasting change in your life.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Amazing course - both theory and practice
This is one of the best non-fiction audiobooks I have ever purchased, and hands-down better than any self-help book I have ever used. (I include even David Burns' classic Feeling Good, which is great but takes a lot more effort to get into and apply). Professor Satterfield strikes a wonderful balance between very clear and concrete practical guidance for daily life and setting out the theoretical underpinnings of the CBT model and carefully explaining the evidence base for the various techniques. The case studies are very illuminating and Professor Satterfield does a great job of avoiding a reductive or overly schematised picture of the challenges of human existence within the CBT framework. Highly, highly recommended.

Good but I struggled a bit
This is a lengthy listen. Thankfully the narrator is easy to listen to and the real-life people likeable, which makes it easier to continue. But around half way through, it just felt really heavy and some of it un-relatable or unrealistic to practise in my life and so I really struggled to keep up listening. I think this could probably have been a much shorter; I've come away with a better understanding of what happens during CBT but could I sit down and practice self-help? No, I'd have to listen again and again for it to become practical and understood.

I have an interest in CBT and have listed to other books. This one I found really hard going. You listen in to therapy sessions of 4 people using the techniques. This might be helpful for people who are studying CBT but for me it lost momentum and it felt intrusive listing to them. It's quite dry I will continue to give it a go but it's not my bag.

Disappointment
This was a difficult book for me, as it was listening to actual client interviews, rather than factual delivery. I found it choppy and distracting. The sound was in and out and there was a lot of static during conversations, just poorly done. While I absorb all types of books on the brain and neuroscience, I would not recommend this one at all.

As a result of going through some difficult times in my life, and at my doctor's suggestion, I began seeing a therapist for cognitive behavioral therapy. I wasn't satisfied, so I began listening to this audio book on CBT. It helped me understand that the therapist was setting the groundwork in our first few sessions, and gave me a very thorough understanding of how CBT works and the many different varieties of treatment and strategies that are available. I strongly recommend this book.

Great addition to my counseling practice
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I highly recommend this book to psychology practitioners and motivated clients. It is well organized and well read. I listen while I do my daily exercise (walking). I often end up writing emails to myself to remember to look up certain topics when I arrive home.
What did you like best about this story?
This is a difficult question to answer because I like it all so much. I think the narration was particularly outstanding. The narrator is straightforward and cites references or appropriate links when needed. I have found some audible narrator of scientific information try to be funny or cute, and it ends up distracting from the narration. This is not the case with Dr. Satterfield.
Which character – as performed by Professor Jason M. Satterfield – was your favorite?
Himself. He narrates the book based on his own research.

Total waste of time
What disappointed you about Cognitive Behavioral Therapy?
This book is extremely broad and has no depth at all. The title "Techniques for Retraining Your Brain" is total garbage. It gives you surface level knowledge of a range of ailments. A quick Wikipedia search for each of these different ailments would be much quicker and much more fruitful.
From this book I was expecting to learn how to recognize negative thoughts, and then learn strategies to rationalize them so they aren't debilitating to one's mood or self-esteem. I got none of this. Here is a breakdown of each lecture:
-This is what depression is.
-This is how many people it affects.
-CBT can help with this. (But no information on HOW)
-Here's a really boring example of a patient talking about depression.
-Here's more surface level information about depression BUT NO COGNITIVE STRATEGIES to deal with it.
-Replace depression with whatever other ailment he's talking about in a different lecture and you have the whole course summed up.
I can't seem to grasp why anyone would see this as useful unless you're in an extremely low state and just need something to get you out of bed. Perhaps this could be that push to get some meaningful help?
I'm reading "Feeling Good" right now by David Burns and the first 10% of this book gives more information than this whole "course".
What could The Great Courses have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
Talk about COGNITIONS!
Would you be willing to try another one of Professor Jason M. Satterfield’s performances?
Definitely not.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Anger.

I just couldn't get into this....
Would you try another book from The Great Courses and/or Professor Jason M. Satterfield?
Of course. One book does not an author make! It's possible that I just didn't appreciate this example.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy?
The moment when the author tried to engage experiment subjects by asking them to answer questions while being recorded.
Would you be willing to try another one of Professor Jason M. Satterfield’s performances?
Yes, but if I experienced the same result, I'd avoid his books in future.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Disappointment. I'm fascinated by Neuropsychology, but the openly promotional manner in the way this book opened probably put me in a skeptical mood as a reader.
Any additional comments?
There seemed to be a lot of unnecessary 'padding' out in the initial chapters that just turned me off this book. The author was trying to illustrate key points by using real subjects. This effort should be commended, as the change in narrator helped maintain appeal. Sadly, the subjects were either poorly chosen, or the editing of these elements of the book was omitted in the final version. As an e-reader, I need the sound to be clear, distinct, and entertaining. Brevity and interweaving concepts throughout the e-book is the key to readers keeping interest.

A solid introduction to CBT
The Author/Narrator has a very kind tenor, this guides the entire course. The course is systematic, switching from symptom to symptom to break up any monotony. Numerous cases and recordings from actual therapy sessions are used as the primary teaching tool throughout the course. This provides context for the ideas and techniques being presented. This is an over arching introduction into what a course of CBT may look like. If you are interested in learning more about psychology in general, and in being exposed to techniques to help with the turmoil of life, this is a good start.
