Publisher's Synopsis
The results of over 20 years of hands-on holistic mental health work experience to accompany 18+ years of college degreed work. The author provides material of a rebooted CBT method that is focused on critical-thinking, rational basis of functioning while diminishing the role and importance of emotional based behavioral action. The holistic approach covers the developmental models, coping strategies, problem-solving, emotional self-regulating behaviors, and a treatment of the recovery process from SA. The manual is wrapped up with a treatment of the brain to understand it's functions and mechanisms of action. The emotional self-regulating core area is particularly helpful-the coverage is from diet and exercise to strategies for work, life goal directed planning, sleep and self-care practices, as well as common-sense yet effective meditating/breathing strategy to overcome anxiety and panic related problems.
