Learn to bring about dynamic personal growth using five uniquely effective tools--from psychotherapist Barry Michels and psychiatrist Phil Stutz, subject of the Netflix documentary Stutz. These tools are emotional game changers. They do nothing less than deliver you to your best and most powerful self.--Kathy Freston, author of Quantum Wellness How long does therapy take? The Tools offers a solution to the biggest complaint patients have about therapy: the interminable wait for change to begin. The traditional therapeutic model sets its sights on the past, but psychiatrist Phil Stutz and psychotherapist Barry Michels employ an arsenal of techniques--the tools--that allow patients to use their problems as levers that access the power of the unconscious and propel them into action. Suddenly, through this transformative approach, obstacles become new chances--to find courage, embrace discipline, develop self-expression, deepen creativity.
