But at its core, anxiety serves an important purpose: to neutralize uncomfortable ambiguities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book begins with a whirlwind tour of anxiety: what causes it, what we think about it, and what it might look like. Then the book looks at some of the approaches to treating anxiety and poses an intriguing question: What if you don't need to get rid of anxiety in order to live a terrific life?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThings Might Go Terribly, Horribly Wrong\u003c\/b\u003e approaches this breakaway hypothesis through the mechanisms of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and presents a series of thinking points and short games readers can do to easily and effectively begin to incorporate ACT techniques into their lives. This book is not a full-scale self-help approach for someone with serious anxiety problems, but an easy way for readers who have wrestled with worry, fear, and shyness to put those feelings into perspective and focus instead on what they want to do in life. This book will help readers foster the flexibility they need to keep from succumbing to the avoidant forces of anxiety and open themselves to the often uncomfortable complexities and possibilities of life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56304434217333,"sku":"9781572247116","price":15.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781572247116_8075b6bb-0cdb-4746-88e7-0257d4ce77f1.jpg?v=1786023648"},{"product_id":"9781462528943","title":"Acceptance and Commitment Therapy","description":"\u003cp\u003eSince the original publication of this seminal work, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) has come into its own as a widely practiced approach to helping people change. This book provides the definitive statement of ACT--from conceptual and empirical foundations to clinical techniques--written by its originators. ACT is based on the idea that psychological rigidity is a root cause of a wide range of clinical problems. The authors describe effective, innovative ways to cultivate psychological flexibility by detecting and targeting six key processes: defusion, acceptance, attention to the present moment, self-awareness, values, and committed action. Sample therapeutic exercises and patient-therapist dialogues are integrated throughout.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e New to This Edition\u003cbr\u003e *Reflects tremendous advances in ACT clinical applications, theory building, and research.\u003cbr\u003e *Psychological flexibility is now the central organizing focus.\u003cbr\u003e *Expanded coverage of mindfulness, the therapeutic relationship, relational learning, and case formulation.\u003cbr\u003e *Restructured to be more clinician friendly and accessible; focuses on the moment-by-moment process of therapy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e See also \u003ci\u003eExperiencing ACT from the Inside Out: A Self-Practice\/Self-Reflection Workbook for Therapists\u003c\/i\u003e, by Dennis Tirch, Laura R.
