Computerised Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CCBT)
Self-help approaches are developing all the time, and computers are now able to provide another way to access help in the privacy of your own home. 'Living life to the full' is an easy to use, interactive self-help website that offers CBT to people who want to learn to cope differently with depression and/or anxiety.
You can access the programme via the internet, which means you can use the programme anywhere private where the internet is available, e.g. home, work, library.
The following outlines what the course covers:
- Understanding why we feel the way we do
- Practical problem solving skills
- Using Anxiety Control Training relaxation
- Overcoming reduced activity
- Helpful and unhelpful behaviours
- Using medication effectively
- Noticing unhelpful thoughts
- Changing unhelpful thoughts
- Healthy living - sleep, food, diet and exercise
- Staying well
