Treating Stress with Metacognitive Therapy: A Handbook for Therapists

Rethink Stress: A Revolutionary Approach to Understanding and Managing Psychological Distress

Stress isn’t just something that happens to us; it’s how we relate to our thoughts. Treating Stress with Metacognitive Therapy introduces a profound shift in how we understand and manage psychological distress. Moving beyond traditional stress treatments, this approach tackles the root causes of stress, instead of just addressing its symptoms.

For years, stress management has focused on analyzing every thought, feeling, and sensation. But here’s the truth: obsessing over these inner experiences is exactly what fuels stress. Worrying, rumination, and overthinking are not just symptoms—they are the causes of stress, keeping you locked in an endless loop of mental turmoil. True transformation comes from changing how you react to your thoughts, not by trying to eliminate them. The key difference is in how you respond.

Why This Book is Different:

Unlike traditional stress management methods that focus on eliminating stress, this book shows you how to transform your relationship with it. Learn to step back from the flood of thoughts and emotions that overwhelm you, and create a healthier mental space. With this evidence-based approach, you’ll develop the clarity and confidence to tackle life’s challenges—without needing to get rid of stress altogether.

Originally written for professionals, this book has received overwhelmingly positive feedback from readers of all backgrounds. The methods are so straightforward that anyone interested in managing stress can easily apply them to their daily life.
