Life is already complicated as it is. What makes it even more challenging, is our inability to train our minds to focus on what we can control. Instead, it identifies the uncontrollable bits and amplifies them, overcoming us with a sense of helplessness, panic, grief, and anxiety. In this life-changing five-in-one guide, you will find research-backed tips and techniques to conquer negative emotions using eye movement desensitization and resolution, acceptance and commitment, dialectical behavioral, and cognitive behavioral therapies!
