The advice offered here is a fairly standard set of responses to managing mental health and well being, but it is a matter of fact and accessible presentation.
This would be a book to have read on a good day in order to be able to turn to it on a bad day to give you some step by step actions to take – which may be kind of obvious on the good days, but escape you when you actually need them most.
I found this particularly stuck with me “Through my journeys of self-understanding, I’ve come to recognise myself as an incredibly talented saboteur, who can reliably have the most unhelpful reaction to any given situation. Most of my emotional responses to situations stem from attitudes I developed from a young age, to generally feel ashamed, tolerate abuse, and fail to assert my needs… there’s a lot of baggage trying to pull me down – it’s something I have to keep in check constantly… Simply by starting to think about your own relationship with your mind, you will immediately have that small bit of perspective that can make a difference.”
