Description
It is a good exercise for those who suffer from depression, anxiety, or even life stress.
Behavioral activation is a basic coping strategy, as well as a short-term treatment, that can have a tremendous effect on your mood. If you’re already getting treatment for depression and/or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), studies show that behavioral action can be an effective part of that treatment.1
When you feel depressed or anxious, you may be less likely to do the things you enjoy or avoid other potentially pleasurable activities. The consequences of this are often a worsening of mood, feeling more detached from others, and an increase in anxiety. As you feel more and more isolated, you may begin to be at risk for depression.
So this workbook helps identify several activities that are both easy and rewarding. These will serve as replacements for unhealthy behaviors. I hope this helps!
