To improve your self-esteem, you don’t need to change yourself; you just need to change the way you think about yourself. And no, that doesn't involve lying to yourself; it means ensuring your beliefs about yourself are fair and accurate, rather than warped by harsh self-criticism. Authoritative and insightful, Rethink Yourself is an innovative step-by-step guide using methods rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). Featuring interactive activities, Rethink Yourself is essential reading for anyone struggling with relentless self-criticism.
