Because depression depletes motivation and self-esteem, it can trap you in a vicious circle-though you want to escape how you''re feeling, it seems impossible to work up the energy to change.

Using solution-focused therapy, cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), and motivational interviewing, The Depression Solutions Workbook will help motivate you to combat the negative beliefs you have about yourself and end the self-destructive behaviors that sink you further into depression. This potent three-part approach will help you learn to identify your strengths, encourage you to take action, and teach you new coping skills. Once you''re able to harness these new skills and enhance your existing strengths, you''ll have the tools you need to make a positive and lasting change.
