'Self-empowering and incredibly easy to use, this comprehensive self-help book took me on a journey towards a radical transformation.' Adele Hyde, service user
Most of us have some behaviours which are not fully under our control but when those start interfering with our lives and with who we want to be, we need this book. When we turn away from opportunity and excitement in case it makes us anxious, we lose the joy in our lives and can experience misery and depression as well as, oddly, even more anxiety.

Get Your Life Back helps you to identify what is really important to you and to notice the behaviours which interfere with reaching your goals and following valued directions. It shows how to understand the way you behave with compassion, without judgement, and how to both accept and change unhelpful or damaging ways of acting. You will learn new skills to manage emotion and endure discomfort as you journey towards mindful self-control.

Uniquely, this book presents a blend of evidence-based treatments (CBT, ACT, DBT, CFT and mindfulness) giving you the best and most effective therapies for a better you.

'Clear, practical and down-to-earth, it offers a path towards greater self-compassion and healing. I cannot recommend it highly enough.' Dan Roberts, cognitive and schema therapist
