People of faith who are battling issues such as anxiety, depression, life changes, stress, or relationship problems may suffer in silence, believing things would get better if only their faith was stronger, they prayed more, or if they had more self-discipline.

It really helped me begin to understand myself, and it gave me insights that allowed me to eventually discover what makes me happy, what motivates me, what I truly need to AVOID in life (because I’m just not wired to deal with it) and in general it gives you a framework for finding your inner self. We’ve also changed the interior page color to gray, and have increased the opacity of the text color to help with legibility.

It incorporates ideas from Compassion Focused Therapy, and helps students to learn how to become more compassionate with themselves.

This book does a great job of providing support to those who identify as male who may be experiencing symptoms of depression. The jury is out on this book – it could go either way depending on the reader’s situation – great for some readers, but not for everybody. This double portrait of analyst and analysand shows the creative potential of this duo at its fullest. while its inspiration might be the 39 Steps, his accidental hero channels Reggie Perrin as much as Richard Hannay.

Instead of imposing opinions and analysis, he emphasized “client-centred therapy” which is now a mainstream concept in psychotherapy. It can feel like you’re the only person who ever felt such strong attachment and need for their therapist, but you’re not.
