I self-published a couple of books in the last year or so, but have been reluctant to actually advertise them, even though I have had good feedback about them. I am finally challenging myself to be brave, and so here I am, sharing information about the books and how you can buy them.
This is a book to support your therapy journey, by offering sets of prompts for you to answer at each stage of your therapy. Doing this means that you can record and reflect on what happens in your therapy, helping you make the most of the therapy even when you aren’t in session.
Part One: this is for before you start therapy, and guides you through finding the best therapist for you.
Part Two: this is for your actual therapy. There are pages for before and after each of your sessions, up to 12 sessions. Then you review your progress after 6, 8 and 10 sessions, and at the end of the 12th session, review the journey as a whole.
Part Three: these pages are specially to help you when something goes wrong in the therapy relationship, and help you explore how you typically repair relationship difficulties.
Additionally, each page comes with a ‘How To’ guide. These give you some ways you can answer the prompts and questions, and guide you on what to think about. There is also plenty of empty space for you to use to express yourself more freely. You might like to draw your feelings, or your therapist!
This book gives you loads of prompts where you to list At Least Ten positive things – for example, things you are good at, times you felt great, or compliments you received. Each list is something positive, to help remind you of your experiences, talents and value. You’ll remember how wonderful and unique you are.
‘At Least Ten’ is a book for you to use, and then to come back to. At first it might be hard to list ten, but as time goes on, and thinking positively about yourself comes more easily, you can return to the book and add to your lists. Self compassion isn’t a natural habit for a lot of us, and ‘At Least Ten’ is here to help you develop your self compassion skills. Along the way, look out for increasing feelings of self esteem and self worth.
If you’re someone who enjoys journaling but who sometimes gets stuck with where to go next, try ‘At Least Ten’ to help you. If you know someone who seems to struggle with understanding how wonderful they are, ‘At Least Ten’ might be a great gift that could help them remember.
