Written in short, practical, easy-to-read chapters, UnTherapy challenges the common notion that emotional wounds inevitably result in emotional crippling and questions the premise that “working on yourself” is necessarily a productive activity. UnTherapy is a workbook that will provide you with ways to: eradicate self-sabotaging patterns, transform unwanted attitudes and behaviors, and evoke peace of mind.
Excerpt
The root of your dissatisfactions is not to be found in problems themselves, but rather in the way that you think about them.
Terms like “working on yourself” and “dealing with your issues” are irrelevant to positive psychology because effort is not necessary.
A person’s identification as a seeker can be a profound obstacle to their own realization.
Until you learn how to summon self-acceptance, self-compassion, and self-encouragement, insecurities will lurk within.
Enlightened living involves living more fully in the present. Although you may have plans and preferences, attachments to outcomes lose their importance.
When you allow your authenticity and vulnerability to arise, the phoniness of your personality transforms into the uniqueness of your individuality.
Attempts to override fear using positive affirmations can result in internal conflict.
There is nothing that will sabotage your happiness more quickly than perceiving life through a filter of victimization.
You have within you an infinite well of compassion that can dissipate resentments, help you to forgive yourself and others, and free you from feelings of separateness and loneliness.
