Summary:

It's time to move beyond the self-destructive coping strategies that hold you back! The coping styles we develop in childhood are often the result of stressful or traumatic experiences. And while they once worked to keep us feeling safe, they do not serve us well in adulthood. This essential guide offers readers an innovative and evidence-based approach grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and attachment theory--to move beyond self-sabotaging negative thoughts and behaviors and ultimately live better lives.
