Take charge of your mental health journey with Retrain Your Brain. This comprehensive 7-week workbook is a valuable piece of low-cost assistive technology designed to support NDIS participants living with psychosocial disabilities, anxiety, or depression.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a gold-standard treatment, but accessing a psychologist weekly isn't always possible. This workbook, developed by Dr. Seth Gillihan, brings the structure of clinical therapy into your home. It provides a step-by-step roadmap to identify negative thought patterns, challenge them, and replace them with adaptive behaviours.
How This Device Supports NDIS Participants
Building Self-Management Skills: The workbook teaches practical, repeatable skills for managing distress. Participants learn to become their own "therapist" in daily situations, fostering long-term independence and resilience.
Cognitive Restructuring: For participants who get stuck in negative loops (ruminating), the guided exercises provide a scaffold to break these cycles. It helps separate facts from feelings, reducing the intensity of anxiety and depressive episodes.
Structured Routine: The 7-week format creates a sense of purpose and routine. Completing weekly exercises helps participants build momentum and achieve small, manageable goals, which is vital for recovery-oriented practice.
Accessible Therapy Support: It serves as an excellent companion to formal therapy. Participants can work through chapters between sessions, allowing paid therapy time to be used for deeper processing rather than basic psychoeducation.
Key Features & Benefits
7-Week Structured Plan: A clear, progressive timeline that builds skills week-by-week, preventing the user from feeling overwhelmed by too much information at once.
Evidence-Based Techniques: Grounded in clinically proven CBT methods used by psychologists worldwide to treat mood disorders.
Action-Oriented: This is not just a book to read; it is a workbook to do. It includes charts, logs, and exercises that require active engagement.
Relatable Examples: Uses real-life scenarios to explain complex psychological concepts, making CBT accessible to newcomers and those with cognitive challenges.
Holistic Approach: Addresses both thoughts (Cognitive) and actions (Behavioural), ensuring a well-rounded approach to mental wellbeing.
