Reader Reviews
Just reviewing this book had me interested. Once I got into the first section, I realized that this book would be a great reference. The exercises really make you think. You know you'd be fooling yourself if you would just put anythin down. Analysing those many parts of your behavior is such a challenge!! Take them to your therapist and together you can tackle your issues. This book is great for getting those thoughts and behaviors up front. This isn't for dummies. Admitting you need help and taking action is not a dumb idea. Their explaination does make things easier to understand. No technical talk (that would make anybody confused). Read this book. Get those issues out and on paper. Take them to your therapist. It's been working well for me.
