Counselling Diy

Everybody has problems. Everybody needs support. Sometimes support is not there. Often we find ourselves alone and out of our depth, wondering what to do. COUNSELLING D. I. Y. helps you get to know yourself and understand what makes you tick. It lets you see how you view your world and how we are all different. You will recognise what strategies you use to resolve problems and whether or not they are right for you. This book looks at how we handle relationships with partners, parents or children; how to better deal with things like stress, anxiety or depression and takes a hard look at more serious mental disturbances such as phobias, eating disorders and addictions. We look at the steps necessary to bring up mentally healthy children so that they can get on with the business of living and not be burdened with preventable mental health issues. COUNSELLING D. I. Y. explains how your mind seeks solutions which are: a) id-driven (impulsive) b) ego-driven (what is the best solution for you) or c) superego-driven (how the outside world wants you to be) Depending on your personality you may be pulled in any of these 3 directions. This book helps you to see why that is and how you can TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE "We learn our life skills from our parents and social group. When there is an absence of a life skill our automatic response will kick in to protect us from harm and anxiety. That's not always a good thing." J M Ascroft-Leigh
