The simple, untold truth about anxiety and depression is that they are habits of insecurity - and like all habits, they can be broken. In this new edition of the highly successful Self-Coaching, Dr. Joseph Luciani presents his proven approach that has worked wonders for his patients as well as listeners from around the world. Whether you struggle with worrisome thoughts, panic, depression, or compulsions, Self-Coaching shows you how to stop feeding these habits.

Combining training exercises for overcoming negative thought patterns with cognitive behavioral therapy techniques, Self-Coaching shows you how to change your way of thinking and develop a healthy, adaptive way of living. This updated edition provides new powerful training tips and motivational tools; updated action steps and practical solutions for accomplishing what you want in life; and more real-life stories of people who beat anxiety and depression.

As a therapist, I’m always building on my training and continuing my development to offer the best to my clients. I also want to see what I can apply to myself and see if it works. This approach, Self-Coaching, is really good at recognising and managing those times when we get stuck.

(You might want to skip the first 5 chapters or so to get to the bones of his approach.) It’s straightforward and he repeats it frequently, along with case examples, to ensure you do the work. Remember, a book will not make you feel better - you need to take steps to make changes.

From what I recall he has 3 main steps:
* Question: is this problem fact or fiction? Eg Am I really going to look stupid or am I making up stories in my head? The part causing this anxiety is our Child Reflex.
* Question: Do I want to run my life or the Child to run my life?
* Let it all go: don’t let the feelings take charge, instead you take charge. The feelings don’t need to run the show.

What I found helpful is recognising the Child Reflex. The authors approach is to dismiss it. I want to suggest another approach: to parent the child, be compassionate to him or her, listen and dialogue and reassure the child.

I have no doubt this book will really help you.

Worth your time when it gets going…
