thanks and all good. I respect your way of looking at. I just see it very differently. The overall aim with my approach is to empower people and use language that they use, not the language of the therapy profession. It seems we both want the same outcome, to help people and thats why we do what we do. Wishing you all the best. Thanks for your comments. It would be boring if we all agreed with each other!

Hello Helen, Sorry to read that you look at it like this. I was confused by your message and didn't feel it was fair to post an attack like that publicly. I always respond to private messages and welcome any constructive debate. We all want the same thing I assume? Solutions for people who are struggling. I wrote the book is to help people and all the profits (along with everything I do in my work in this area support young people with their mental health. I have studied across all the main disciplines in this area and I am an advocate of good therapy. Many people have benefited enormously from therapy and there are lots of great therapists out there who work tirelessly and selflessly to help others. I work with lots of therapists! I have been a therapist! However, demands for mental health support are off the scale chronic at the moment and availability is limited. People who want therapy are on long wait lists and are giving up hope as they have been culturally programmed to think therapy is the only solution. The book just suggests there are lots of things most people can do on their own, if they just knew how. That's what the system offers. Steps to follow and 70 practical exercises so people can do the changing rather than just read about it. The title doesn't say therapy isn't good, doesn't work or don't do it? It doesn't say don't ask for help? Asking for help is a strength but we need to be able to help more efficiently and often more effectively. We need to engage people who can't get therapy, don't want therapy or who feel there is s stigma about asking for help. That's the purpose of the book and that's why I give so much of my time voluntarily to this mission. The book title is intended as an empowering inner voice for people to realise their own power, they can get through what they are going through and transform how they look at the world. If you did want to read the book I hope you would for feel very differently. I hope this message helps explain why the title was chosen. Have a kind day.
