Reinventing Your Life - Young & Klosko

If you find yourself struggling with repeated self-defeating behaviours and patterns of negative thinking along similar lines, you usually find that these problems stem from adverse experiences dating back to childhood. Many of us internalise unhelpful messages about ourselves, others and the way the world works.

This book, grounded in Schema Therapy, will interpret maladaptive narratives and help the reader find ways to break free. As with any therapy, the key is to apply the learning to your everyday life: insight alone is not enough.
