The Aging Well Workbook for Anxiety and Depression CBT Skills to Help You Think Flexibly and Make the Most of Life at Any Age by Julie Erickson, PhD and Neil A. Rector, PhD

You don't have to turn back the clock. This powerful workbook will help
you redefine the aging process, think flexibly, improve your mental
health, and live life to thefullest!
For even the fittest, healthiest, and most vibrant among us, the truth is there
are inevitable challenges that come from growing older. Major life transitions
such as retirement, the loss of family or a partner, changes in our bodies, and
changing social roles in everyday life can lead to feelings of uncertainty, loss
of control, and even anxiety and depression. But aging doesn't have to be a
negative thing. You can carve out your own path. This book will show you how
to live with more vitality and joy-at any age!
The Positive Aging Handbook offers proven-effective, evidence-based skills
drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help you learn the art of
flexible thinking and feel more empowered and engaged with life. You'll
discover strategies for managing anxiety and depression, as well as lifestyle
tips to help reduce symptoms in the future. You'll also learn how your brain
changes as you age, and find a wealth of strategies for managing these
changes and making the most of your life.
If the changes you face as you age leave you feeling anxious, sad, or
stressed, let this handbook guide you to take charge of your own aging
process- and your mental health. You are worth it!
