When I started reading it, I immediately felt like I could get back in control and actually improve what I had accepted as the status quo. The author gives a lot of simple tips that work, and the exercises are a big help. I highly recommend this book to anyone suffering from anxiety or depression.'

Dr Sarah Edelman PhD explains Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) at the 2017 SMART Recovery Australia Peer Workshop in Sydney. The SMART Recovery Australia Peer Workshop is an event for peer facilitators – those who have overcome their own addiction of problematic behaviour and are now running SMART Recovery groups themselves. SMART Peers from across Australia congregated in Sydney and collaborated on all things SMART, weekly meetings, and their own experiences as both peers and facilitators.

More info: What is SMART Recovery? SMART (Self Management And Recovery Training) is a free self-help, mutual-aid program that offers a place for people to in the community to get together and change problematic or addictive behaviours using evidence-based tools and techniques. There are almost 200 free SMART Recovery meetings taking place every week across Australia, each guided by a trained SMART Recovery facilitator. The SMART Recovery program is currently embedded in over 80 Government and Non Government organisations across Australia. During SMART meetings the emphasis is on people’s thinking and behaviour, rather than the substance or addiction, as well as finding practical solutions that are focused on the ‘here and now’. SMART Recovery is underpinned by only evidence-based techniques, such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing, and to ensure the program adapts with scientific advances, a Research and Advisory Committee of leading Australian addiction and mental health experts was formed.
