Publisher's Synopsis
Most people ideally want to live a fulfilling life which includes having a healthy relationship with themselves as well as others. However, what precludes a great deal of people from attaining this fulfillment in life is the inner turmoil that consumes them. This inner turmoil inevitably leads to distress which affects everything around them such as personal relationships, family relationships, work relationships etc. This distress can lead them to suffer from maladies such as anxiety, phobias, depression, addiction, eating disorders, issues with self esteem and anger, emotional suffering, post traumatic stress disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder and various other behavioral and mental health difficulties.The reason why people find it difficult to resolve and overcome this inner turmoil and become "stuck" is because of their ineffective thinking process. In his book entitled Cognitive and Dialectical Behavior Therapy Unleashed, author James Ashley covers in detail how two types of therapies, Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy can be utilized to produce a more effective thinking process for the individual that leads to more favorable and positive results and the resolving of this inner turmoil.
