Authored by the pioneers of Schema Therapy, Jeffrey E. Young and Janet S. Klosko, 'Reinventing Your Life' is a powerful guide to identifying and overcoming self-defeating patterns, known as 'lifetraps.' This book offers diagnostic tools to pinpoint the childhood origins of issues like abandonment, dependency, and unrelenting self-criticism. It then provides clear, step-by-step cognitive and experiential techniques to challenge these deep-seated beliefs, heal from past pain, and ultimately build a more positive and emotionally healthy life.
