“TO YOUR HAPPINESS: A Self-Healing Guide to Peace of Mind” “TO YOUR HAPPINESS…” deals with a variety of distressing emotional issues from which many people may be struggling to escape. Sufferers who cannot or do not want to see a therapist will find psychological techniques in this book that will help them to bring about their own healing, all offered by someone with 40 years of clinical experience in the field of psychology. The book contains several self-treatment methods, presented in the form of recipes and step-by-step choices and designed to help readers privately gain relief from mild or moderate, to traumatic and serious, emotional difficulties. Among the pages that brim with jargon-free coaching, readers will find familiar ideas such as cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT); newer strategies, including the use of spiritual, energy-based applications for self-healing; research-supported ideas; and chapter review projects. Readers can explore the length and breadth of innovative suggestions that can bring peace of mind to sufferers. Those struggling with emotional issues will also discover how learning about hoping, showing gratitude, abiding by spiritual beliefs, helping others, and using the power of breathing and self-soothing (among other scientifically-proven therapy tools) is hugely important to mental wellbeing. The book makes a modest claim to the introduction of a category or behavioural style termed Safety-Oriented Personality State (SOPS); to an expansion of the structured self-treatment approach, called Thought Replacement; and to a brand new theory of dreaming. SOPS is a way of behaving that may account for emotional suffering. Thought Replacement is a technique by which the creative power of thought is actively used to remove emotional discomfort. I believe this book is the first to use the idea of an unacceptable threatening object (UTO) to explain how dreams and nightmares occur. Additionally, readers will encounter fascinating artwork at the beginning of each chapter that provides an added level of understanding and illustrates the main teaching point or “ah-ha” moment in each chapter. Unexpectedly, a treasury of technique guides and life-changing tips await readers in the Appendices as they finish reading this information-filled book. Whether you are on a journey of letting go and leaving behind your inner turmoil or are in search of self-improvement and a measure of happiness, be assured that with this book as your guide, there is an excellent chance your life will change for the better.
