Do we have a psych person here?
I am curious about CBT resources and was interested to see if anyone has any experience in this area and could offer suggestions on what books to look at.

I'm guessing the CBT is not S&M related?  |

I'm not a psychologist, but I work in a mental health non-profit, and interact daily with therapists and clients. CBT has worked wonders for many, many of our clients - but the way I understand it, it is really not a do-it-yourself project. It involves a lot of interactive feedback, not just intellectual reading and "understanding." It it very helpful for anxiety, depression, OCD, bipolar disorder and folks with borderline personality issues who are motivated to change their behaviors.
Can you call your local county mental health department and ask for resources? Many clinics hold CBT/DBT groups for free or very low cost. Interaction and feedback are an essential component of this therapy, so groups are great for this modality.
Good luck in your search!

Search in Amazon books for CBT and you'll receive great recommendations with reviews. I found Mind Over Mood by Dennis Greenberger to be insightful and five years later I still use many of the techniques. The workbooks were simple to follow (some other books were complicated and I gave up). It took me two months to do the entire book and I spent dedicated time each day and week focusing on it. If suicidal thoughts are a concern the book Choosing to Live: How to Defeat Suicide Through Cognitive Therapy by Thomas E. Ellis was powerful. I can't recall how many workbooks there are but it is a book where years later I remember specific pieces that identified my faulty thinking and over time I corrected them which in turn means I'm alive to make these recommendations.  |

Check out the Self-Talk Solution (I found it, eh) and What to Say when you Talk to Yourself--both have great reviews, both by the same author.

not what I was thinking at all...... My current job is in medicine/psych, but I have a bit of a background in an adult-entertainment and S&M related field, so whenever I hear "CBT" in my current workplace, I snicker a little bit just like you. You're not alone.  |

I got that same book from my psychiatrist back in 2004, it helped a lot.

I don't have any books to suggest, but CBT was the best kind of therapy for me. Good Luck!
