This book is dedicated to people who are interested in realizing the proven benefits of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT). Most importantly, you are going to learn that in life, there is one person you should be kind to above all else. And that person is you.
Getting through depression and anxiety requires changing the way you think. When a person becomes actively aware of their negative and unrealistic thoughts, they begin to engage in healthier thoughts that do not dampen their moods.
Fortunately, self-acceptance is something we can nurture. Look at it as a skill that you can practice versus an innate trait that you either have or don’t.
Typical human behavior focuses on negative qualities. A quick response, like the one above, lacks full consideration and understanding. But it's this impulse reflex that allows us to tap into our depths, into what drives us. It tells us truthfully what we really want to feel, but it also allows doubt to set in. And with more doubt comes more negative thoughts.
This book helps you to discover how to:
• Overcome emotional problems (such as depression, anxiety and anger).
• Ways to be self-compassionate and nonjudgmental toward your own emotions.
• Build better relationships.
• Improve physical health.
