Practices that may help

  1. Rumination-Focused CBT, Made Practical
    Rumination-Focused CBT (RFCBT), developed by Edward Watkins, targets the extended, abstract, self-critical thinking style that maintains depression — not just negative thoughts. It trains people to shift from abstract "why" rumination to concrete "how" thinking and compassionate, specific engagement with experience. Randomised trials show it reduces depressive rumination and relapse rates.
  2. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Made Practical
    Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a structured, skills-based approach built on a simple idea: thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other, so changing what you think and do changes how you feel. CBT is among the most empirically supported psychotherapies for anxiety and depression across many randomized trials and meta-analyses. The skills below can be practiced on their own, though CBT for a diagnosed condition belongs with a qualified clinician.
  3. Cognitive Restructuring: The CBT Method for Changing Unhelpful Thoughts
    Cognitive restructuring, the core skill in Aaron Beck’s Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, teaches you to identify automatic negative thoughts, examine the evidence for and against them, and replace distorted thinking with more accurate interpretations. Meta-analyses of CBT consistently show medium-to-large effects on depression and anxiety — the evidence base is among the strongest in psychotherapy.
  4. DBT Emotion Regulation Skills, Made Practical
    DBT’s emotion regulation module teaches you to understand what emotions are and why they fire, reduce vulnerability to emotional overwhelm, and change unwanted emotional states through specific skills. DBT as a whole has strong randomized-trial support; the individual skills are established clinical practice rather than separately trialed units.
  5. Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Made Practical
    MBCT is an 8-week group program developed by Segal, Williams, and Teasdale that combines mindfulness meditation with cognitive therapy techniques to prevent depressive relapse. Multiple independent meta-analyses find it significantly reduces relapse risk in people with three or more prior depressive episodes — the evidence base is among the strongest for any mindfulness-based intervention.
  6. Check the Facts, Made Practical
    "Check the facts" is a DBT emotion regulation skill for testing whether an emotion is justified by the actual situation or whether it is firing based on an interpretation — a story the mind has added. The underlying mechanism (examining the evidence for a belief) is the same as cognitive restructuring in CBT, which has strong randomized-trial support for anxiety and depression. DBT packages it specifically as a regulation tool, to be used when the emotion may not fit the facts.
  7. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Skills, Made Practical
    DBT is a skills-based approach built around a balance — accepting yourself as you are while working to change — taught through four skill sets: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. It has strong randomized-trial support, particularly for chronic emotion dysregulation and self-harm.
  8. The Thought Record: CBT’s Core Self-Examination Tool
    A thought record is a structured worksheet from cognitive behavioral therapy that helps you identify the automatic thought behind a bad feeling, examine the evidence for and against it, and generate a more accurate, balanced alternative. It is the most widely used CBT self-help tool and a core component of the therapy protocols with the strongest evidence base. Used consistently, it trains the skill of cognitive evaluation until it becomes partly automatic.
  9. Attention Training Technique (ATT), Made Practical
    The Attention Training Technique (ATT), developed by Adrian Wells, is a structured auditory exercise that rebuilds voluntary control over where attention goes — directly countering the self-focused, threat-locked attention that sustains anxiety and health anxiety. Randomised trials support its effectiveness as a standalone and as part of Metacognitive Therapy.
  10. Behavioral Experiments: Testing Beliefs in the Real World
    Behavioral experiments are planned real-world activities in CBT that directly test the accuracy of a negative belief or prediction. Instead of just challenging thoughts on paper, the person collects live evidence for or against the belief — and that experiential evidence is often more belief-changing than logical argument alone. They are a core and well-supported component of CBT for anxiety, depression, and related difficulties.
