THINKING THROUGH DEPRESSION: A Practical REBT-Informed Guide for Understanding and Overcoming Depression

Thinking Through Depression Depression distorts thinking so reliably, and so invisibly, that the beliefs it generates feel like obvious truths rather than symptoms. This workbook draws on Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) — one of the foundational frameworks of modern cognitive therapy, developed by Albert Ellis — to identify the specific beliefs that sustain depression and to build the skills to dispute them. The four core irrational beliefs addressed are demandingness, catastrophizing, low frustration tolerance, and global self-rating. Each is examined in depth, with worked examples drawn from depression, chronic illness, loss, and recovery. Alongside the cognitive work, the guide covers behavioral activation, unconditional self-acceptance, grief and loss, and the somatic dimensions of depression — movement, sleep, light exposure, and nutrition. Worksheets, ABCDE records, and a personal depression plan support practical application throughout. Written for adults managing depression alongside chronic pain, mild traumatic brain injury, or psychological trauma.
