The 101 CBT Toolbox A Practical Guide to Cognitive Behavioral Tools for Anxiety, Depression, Stress, Anger, Procrastination, and Low Self-Esteem By Kensley Bird, PhD 6 issues. 101 tools. 1 practical, all-in-one CBT workbook built for real life. If you’re stuck in thought spirals, emotionally drained, or tired of mental health advice that doesn’t fit your reality, this workbook is your solution. The 101 CBT Toolbox is a no-fluff, science-based guide built on the core principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) — and designed for adults facing six of the most common struggles: Anxiety, Depression, Stress, Anger, Procrastination, and Low Self-Esteem. Instead of a rigid program, this is a 6-in-1 toolbox you can use how and when you need it. Flip to the section that fits your current mood, or read from the beginning to build a deeper understanding of CBT. Every tool is short, clear, and meant to create real change — even on your hardest days. What Makes This Workbook Different • 6-in-1 format Includes six mini-workbooks in one — each chapter tackles a core issue with targeted CBT strategies and real-world tools. • 101 practical CBT tools Each tool fits on a single page, with a clear objective, step-by-step instructions, and a built-in worksheet, prompt, or real-life application when relevant. • Flip-through or follow structure Built for flexibility: use it front-to-back for structure, or flip directly to the section that matches your current struggle using category icons and quick-start maps. • Personalized mental health support Tools are designed to be adapted to your needs. Bullet points instead of paragraphs? Voice notes instead of journaling? That works. You’re not doing it wrong — you’re doing it your way. • Visual icon system for fast access Each tool is tagged by category (Anxiety, Stress, Depression, Anger, Procrastination, or Low Self-Esteem), so you can quickly find what applies, even in the middle of an emotional storm. • Quick-start map for overwhelmed days Includes a simple 3-step guide to help you choose a tool when you're mentally foggy, emotionally flooded, or unable to focus — ideal for real-time support.
