Helpful in practice and in my personal life. 

I am going to apply this to my own situation in order to reinforce what I learned, as the presenter suggested.

I loved this and learned so much. I saved it so I can go back and fully appreciate all the information and techniques.  Thank You

I was very impressed with the quality of the website. Specifically the format from registration to receiving the materials and the testing.... well done.  I was even more pleased with the way the content was written. Great balance between concepts and examples.  This was excellent.

This will help me to identify my own behaviors and make me a better clinician.

That was excellent material! I learned a lot in this course. Thank you for offering it!!

This was a great course, It really helped me to take a look at my own self-defeating behaviors and how I can change them into life-giving behaviors. Very helpful course.

Enjoyed this course and feel it will be useful in my work with children to help them be more positive and responsible for their behavior.

This was one the better written CE pieces I have encountered. The writing style and organization were superior; the flow of the lessons was excellent. I found it easy to follow, and to be applicable both to my own life and to the specific situations faced by my clients. Thank you!

A great way to analyze destructive thought patterns in a easy to follow behavioral manner.

I found the examples and case references to be very helpful in the learning process. The information about real fear versus mythical fear was enlightening and something I will be able to use with the population that I work with.

I enjoyed how the presentation was laid out and how interactive it could be to aide in writing down my thoughts and processing as I learned. Thanks!

This was a great course to learn about behaviors that stand in the way of enjoying your life and allowing you to function at an optimal level. I will use this in my practice to help my clients make better choices.

This course is the best CE I have taken in many years.

Very good discussions, analogies, and examples. Exercises provided were also very helpful.

Excellent course. I liked all the client example and especially when the author shared his own experience. Well organized and presented.

This is an excellent course for me. I work with clients every day on eliminating self-defeating behaviors. In fact, I recommended that the interns under my supervision take this cousre. Thank you for offering the course.

I loved the presentation of this CE. I think there is no more effective way of learning (and being able to teach a concept to someone else) than by first being able to apply it myself, so I especially liked how this CE was presented as a workbook for me to work through.

Excellent content, very practical information.

The author provided great examples to help readers visualize how to approach and assist clients in eliminating their self-defeating behaviors.  The information presented was not only helpful for my professional career but for dealing with my own personal behaviors and behaviors of family members.  This information should be shared with the mass public.
