Praise for Reinventing Your Life

“Several of the most painful petards upon which people become hoisted during an unhappy childhood are neatly dispatched here by two cognitive therapists, who attack 11 common ‘lifetraps’—destructive patterns that underlie a variety of emotional problems. Young and Klosko ably demonstrate how to deal with issues of abandonment, dependence, trust, social rejection, emotional deprivation, failure and vulnerability. They provide meaningful case histories, perceptive descriptions, diagnostic tests and a variety of nugget-sized, easily understood lists detailing the causes, danger signs and effects of negative impulses and actions, as well as ways to short-circuit them.”—Publishers Weekly

“Using illustrations from case studies, the authors describe each lifetrap, discuss its origins in childhood experience, and provide a questionnaire for self-assessment. They then offer a program for change using techniques ranging from experiential (getting in touch with your inner child) to cognitive (writing a ‘case’ against your lifetrap) and behavioral (identifying specific behaviors to be changed).”—Library Journal

Overall rating: 5.0 / 5 from 5 reviews.

Review highlights

Reviews

It can be relavant but could have a better title not to look like superficial physiological books as it is explaining a very powerful method that had helped many peopel understand their patterns

"Very clearly explained, organaized categories, cahpters and sections nicely seperated and easy to read but it is deep discussion and takes time to go through as it brings up some emotions so it is not an easy read in that sense."

Mo N. (5/5)

"Amazing author! Best self help book I have read in figuring out YOU and why you are the way you are."

Zora Z. (5/5)
