- Summary:
- "When we experience a great loss, our despair can be so intense that we get stuck, oftentimes facing backwards, reliving painful experiences that may cause us to feel as though we are stranded in the past. When this happens, we can find ourselves living day-to-day on autopilot, going through the motions, while in the back of our minds we might think we don't deserve to be happy anymore. When we try to look at the future, whatever plans we had made prior to our loss now seem impossible to achieve. If this sounds familiar, Time Perspective Therapy (TPT) is designed to help; it provides simple tools to turn your perspective from dark to light, from negative to positive. This book dives deep into the many facets of grief: from depression and caregiver stress to reestablishing relationships that may have fallen to the wayside and making plans for your new and different future. Through real-life intimate stories of those who have suffered loss and grew from the experience, and easy-to-do exercises, it is designed to help you learn how TPT can help you cherish the past, enjoy the present, move toward a new and brighter future, and live a fulfilling, meaningful life."-- Provided by publisher.
