Becoming Your Best Self: Healing through self-integration (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780995864627)

Donna Jacobs, a seasoned clinical psychologist, shares her compelling therapeutic model to teach us how to reposition ourselves in difficult situations and relationships. This book guides us as we work towards becoming our best selves, offering tools for change and a six-step healing process.

Becoming Your Best Self teaches Donna's model in accessible language, using stories from case studies, diagrams and worksheets so the reader is left with the tools needed to practice the model. Through her teaching, the reader discovers that - before we can negotiate our challenging situations - we need to take care of ourselves by understanding deeply our starting places, healing our own wounds, and learning to nudge our perspectives into healthier positions.

This book comes at a critical time where statistical and anecdotal data demonstrate how deeply people struggle in today's world. Anxiety is at a record high, particularly impacting our young people; masculinity is under fire as it attempts to redefine itself against a backdrop of hyper masculine media messaging; relationships struggle under societal pressures; and a combination of economic stresses and consumer pressure impact our pocketbooks. Donna's book puts the tools for change into our hands. Her model shows us that what we are looking for, we already possess - the means to work towards becoming a better version of ourselves.

This book is a must read for anyone looking to create positive change in their life.
