The Living Life to the Full approach (LLTTF™) is one of the world’s most used ways of communicating a widely recommended type of talking therapy called cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). CBT has been used for several decades, and research has led to it being one of the most recommended treatments for low mood and anxiety. It is widely recognised as one of the most effective ways of helping build well-being and resiliency.
Developed in the UK, the Living Life to the Full course aims to remove much of the jargon from the CBT approach so that is clearly communicated. By using an accessible language and powerful, clearly communicated change tools, the content aims to help young people help themselves.
The course was developed by Professor Chris Williams, of the University of Glasgow, Scotland – a well-known CBT researcher and teacher who is a past-president of the lead body for CBT in the UK.
