Comprehensive and full of insightful approaches

Covers a lot of content in a very accessible way. Very well structured and covers not only cognitive behavioural therapy, mindfulness meditation, socratic questions for cognitive strategies but also emotional regulation techniques and guidance too.
I particularly liked the section on building resilience and also found the guided meditations to be extremely useful. A great listen.

Very worthy of a listen!

There is a lot of good advice in here and with a structure to it that allows to implement change. Therefore it's worthy, in my opinion, of 5 stars and your time spent listening and heeding it. It pulls from disciplines like Rational Emotive Therapy and CBT in terms of strategies to loosen the hold of negative thought patterns and free yourself from the loops that keep going in your head. It provides numerous step by step break downs to follow to question negative assumptions and, again, free up your thinking so that you can focus on more positive things or just put an end to the thoughts that bother you.
