Matthew Mckay: The Judgment Trap, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Find liberation from self-criticism, unleash your potential, and thrive in an increasingly challenging and judgmental world.

Do you ever feel trapped in a culture of comparison, cancellation, andus-against-them thinking? Have you struggled with mental health issues such as anger, anxiety, or depression? Do you feel like you'll never be attractive enough, smart enough, or successful enough? In our modern world of information overload and social media, it's easy to measure ourselves against total strangers, and likewise, to cast judgment on others. But what if this judgment is actually the source of our suffering?

Written by a dream team of mental health professionals and drawing on decades of clinical experience and cutting-edge research, this groundbreaking guide offers profound and practical insight to overcome "the judgment trap"--once and for all. Using proven-effective techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), mindfulness practices, and insights from spiritual traditions such as Buddhism, you'll learn to identify and challenge negative self-narratives, cultivate self-compassion, and build a lifelong foundation based on your most cherished values.

You'll discover four key skills to strengthen your mental health and well-being:

• Awareness: Practice mindfulness to overcome negative thoughts
• Acceptance: Embrace what is and accept what you cannot change
• Compassion: Cultivate kindness and compassion for yourself and others
• Values-based intention: Act on deeply held values, rather than impulse

And, most importantly, you'll learn to practice radical nonjudgment --awareness and acceptance of what is--to guide your life choices and cultivate wisdom, gratitude, connection, and joy.
