Description
The coping styles we develop in childhood are often the result of stressful or traumatic experiences. And while they once worked to keep us feeling safe, they do not serve us well in adulthood. This breakthrough guide offers an innovative and evidence-based approach grounded in cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), schema therapy, and attachment theory to help you break free from the coping habits that keep you stuck in a cycle of self-sabotaging negative thoughts and behaviours.
In this eye-opening book, you'll identify the maladaptive coping patterns you developed in childhood, understand why you developed them, and learn how to change those destructive habits standing between you and a happier life. You'll also discover powerful strategies to help you give voice to your unmet needs; and learn to cultivate clarity, security, and confidence in yourself and what you need.
Dysfunctional coping styles are often the relics of damaging childhood experiences. But your past doesn't need to dictate your future. With this guide, you can finally get unstuck from the habits that hinder your personal growth, get in the way of healthy relationships, and keep you from reaching your highest potential.
Advance Praise
“While the schema therapy library is rich with books for clinicians, there are few available for individuals struggling to understand the impact of schemas and modes in their daily lives. Richard Brouillette has created a wonderful meditative tool and workbook, perfect for those individuals on a path of self-discovery as well as those working in tandem with a therapist.”
—Peregrine M. Kavros, PhD, MBA, MDiv, chair of the ISST Ethics & Conflict Resolution Committee, director of Schema Therapy Institute SouthEast, and advanced schema therapist supervisor/trainer
“In 1994, Jeffrey Young and Janet Klosko’s book, Reinventing Your Life, was a pathbreaking and profound handbook on how schemas intrude on and distort our daily lives. Now, Richard Brouillette offers an exciting successor, a timely update mirroring new development, including mindfulness, as well as an energizing journaling. Richard helps you move from feeling like a bystander to becoming the director in the ‘theater of your life.’ This is a brilliant and extremely practical book!”
—Eckhard Roediger, MD, director of the Frankfurt Schema Therapy Institute, past president of the International Society of Schema Therapy (ISST), and coauthor of Contextual Schema Therapy
