The author, Jonathan Livingstone, who has 30 years' experience as a clinician and educator, argues that the idea of mental health is a misnomer and what is regarded as unconscious mind should be understood as unconscious body.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe relationship between emotions and feelings is described and a method of accurately identifying emotions is explained. The book argues that feelings drive behaviour and the quest for personal dignity underlies all human interaction. The denial of feelings underlies pathological behaviour, which is subsequently rationalized and justified.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe genesis of a therapeutic problem\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCentral to the work is the discovery that unwanted behaviour relates to an experience in the past when a person modified his or her behaviour in order to cope with or ameliorate a difficult situation. This 'remedial' behaviour becomes the unconscious blueprint, or precedent, for behaviour in similar circumstances subsequently, and cannot be overridden by conscious will. When this behaviour prevents a person from achieving a desired goal, it becomes a therapeutic problem.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinding the origins of problems\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAlthough the original experience creating the problem behaviour is ordinarily unknown and unconscious, it can be discovered by a simple process called 'tracking back'.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis process identifies the origin of almost any psychological problem \u003cem\u003ewithin minutes\u003c\/em\u003e. Once the experience has been identified, the therapeutic problem is resolved through a 'relearning' of that experience. The relearning provides an alternative reference so that the body can unlearn the original, pathological response.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe resolution is permanent and absolute, effected by an intervention made at the site of the original experience.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGame changer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eRelearning Experience\u003c\/em\u003e is a game changer in psychology. Unlike traditional psychotherapeutic methods, it doesn't require months or years of application; unlike cognitive therapy, it doesn't simply tackle behavioural symptoms: the book explains how permanent transformation can be achieved in hours or minutes, through resolution of the problem's origins. Although the ideas are new and challenging, the arguments are so plausible they seem almost to be common sense.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49536911802641,"sku":"GOR011410491","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52740557504785,"sku":"NIN9780956317926","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0956317928.jpg?v=1751172449"},{"product_id":"therapist-within-you-book-jonathan-livingstone-9780956317902","title":"The Therapist within You","description":"The Therapist Within You: A Handbook of Kinesiology Self-therapy with the Pendulum is a comprehensive guide to using the wisdom of your own body to bring balance, healing and resolution.
