You who are exhausted searching for the one thing that will make it all better. You who have tried self-help courses, therapy, medication, changing relationships, reading piles of books, changing living situations, haircuts, eating plans,getting a pet, distractions, exercise, yoga, staying in bed all day,sleeping more, sleeping less, detoxing, smoothies, journaling, talking about it, not talking about it, being social, sitting in solitude, long baths, long drives, vision boards, workshops, crying on the kitchen floor, screaming in the woods, changing jobs. This is for you who have tried it all...and yet nothing has worked. Nothing has taken away the feelings. Nothing has stopped the mean thoughts from coming. Nothing has soothed the self-loathing and shame. Nothing has quieted the anxiety and panic. Nothing has lifted the weight of depression off of your chest. Nothing has set you free from the cycle of pain, struggle, hope, and disappointment. That's what this book is here to help you with, dear one. Just one more book. Just one more try. There are things that most of us are never taught about how to deal with being human. In these pages are 8 concepts that will change how you relate to these thoughts and feelings that have kept you down for so long. In 8 weeks, these concepts can help you start to break free, to start living instead of just going through the motions. More freedom of movement. More freedom to choose. More freedom to live the way you haven't even dared to wish for all these years, that you thought was for other people but not for you. Ready? It's time. Let's do this. After nearly two decades of listening to therapy clients, and many more years dealing with trauma, tragedy, chronic illness, and other adventures, Dr. Jo, a licensed clinical psychologist and registered yoga teacher, has condensed their training and experience into these chapters. Each one offers a different tool for increasing your resilience, ease, and confidence in facing anything that life brings your way, along with ideas for practicing it in everyday life. Peppered with personal examples and a playful, warm style, this accessible owner’s manual for the mind offers practical advice, relief, and loving encouragement for anyone struggling with emotional or physical pain who has become frustrated with traditional approaches and is ready to try something different.
