by David A. Clark PhD
Foreword by Robert L. Leahy PhD
About This Workbook
A proven-effective CBT approach to help you break the cycle of repetitive negative thinking
If you suffer from anxiety or depression, chances are you also experience unwanted, distressing, and repetitive thoughts. These negative thoughts are often grounded in anger, guilt, shame, worry, humiliation, resentment, or regret. And the more you try to gain control over these thoughts, the more they seem to spiral out of your control. So, how can you break free from this self-defeating ‘mind trap,’ and experience lasting peace and relief?
The Negative Thoughts Workbook offers a step-by-step program to help you target and effectively cope with negative thinking patterns. Based on effective cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) strategies, this practical guide outlines a transdiagnostic approach to managing the thoughts that drive your emotional distress and threaten your mental health and well-being. You are not condemned to a life of constant, chaotic, or disturbing thoughts. If you’re ready to take shelter from the storm inside your head, the easy-to-follow activities in this evidence-based workbook will help you gain control over your cycles of negative thinking.
Discover powerful ways to:
- Identify your own thinking traps
- Deal with worry and anxiety
- Stop rumination before it takes over
- Confront shame and move beyond regret
- Find release from resentment

“Here is an outstanding guide that helps people find freedom from the painful thoughts that make life miserable. David Clark—one of the most knowledgeable and esteemed experts of our time—distills the essentials into a single book. This is a comprehensive course that teaches you leading-edge approaches to free your mind from disturbing thoughts and emotions. I consider it essential reading for all those with a ‘sticky’ mind.”
—Martin N. Seif, PhD, ABPP, founder of the Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA), and coauthor of What Every Therapist Needs to Know About Anxiety Disorders, Overcoming Unwanted Intrusive Thoughts, and Needing to Know for Sure
“Following a negative life experience, most of us have had the experience of reliving the event in our minds, wondering why it happened and whether life will ever be the same. This repetitive negative thought process only serves to fuel emotional pain and suffering. Using thought-provoking exercises and illustrative case examples, The Negative Thoughts Workbook by David Clark teaches readers how to interrupt rumination and use effective strategies to move beyond disappointment, regret, and resentment. This book is extremely readable, and offers countless techniques that readers can tackle independently without the guidance of a therapist. It is a fantastic resource for anyone wanting to worry less and live a more productive, meaningful life in the present moment.”
—Deborah Roth Ledley, PhD, licensed psychologist in private practice in Philadelphia, PA; and coauthor of The Worry Workbook for Kids
“David Clark is a go-to expert in understanding and overcoming negative thoughts. In this book, he brings together his scholarship and clinical experience to create an easy-to-use and highly effective guide to dealing with a wide range of negative thoughts that can otherwise plague our mood and ability to get things done. Highly recommended!”
—Christine Purdon, PhD, CPsych, professor in the department of psychology at the University of Waterloo, and coauthor of Overcoming Obsessive Thoughts
“This is a timely and important book for those with anxiety and depression issues. It is increasingly recognized that dealing with rumination, worry, and shame is important to these and other problems. David Clark has worldwide recognition as a leading therapist, and has published widely in this academic area. He has used these skills in developing an accessible and helpful workbook that I would recommend to clients and therapists alike.”
—Richard Moulding, PhD, senior lecturer at Deakin University in Australia, editor in chief of Clinical Psychologist, and coeditor of The Self in Understanding and Treating Psychological Disorders
“Instead of writing one or several books on anxiety, depression, guilt, anger, or other distressing emotions, David Clark takes us to what is behind these emotions: namely repetitive negative thinking like worry or rumination. Using the principles of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and excellent and handy worksheets and exercises—and in a very kind, user friendly, step-by-step way—Clark helps us get rid of repetitive negative thoughts and related feelings.”
—Gregoris Simos, MD, PhD, professor of psychopathology in the department of educational and social policy at the University of Macedonia in Greece
