It's Not Always Depression

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Cutting-edge and accessible psychotherapy to put us back in touch with our emotions - and fast.

We were all taught that our thoughts affect our emotions, but in truth, it is largely the other way around—we have to experience our emotions to truly understand our thoughts, and our full selves. This is why we should think not only about cognitive behavioural therapy or medication, but also about our emotions when addressing psychological suffering.

In It's Not Always Depression, pioneering psychotherapist Hilary Jacobs Hendel reveals the most effective techniques for putting us back in touch with the emotions we too often deny—methods which can be used by anyone, any time, anywhere. Drawing on stories from her own practice, she sheds light on the core emotions (such as joy, sadness, and fear), defences (anything we do to avoid feeling), and inhibitory emotions (anxiety, shame, and guilt), and how understanding their interaction can help us return to mental well-being and be more calm, curious, and connected.
