Summary
Hilary Jacobs Hendel: It's not always depression
Hilary Jacobs Handel is a passionate and effective therapist who provides navigation tools, dynamic exercises for the body and mind and shows us how to use formal psychotherapy strategies as a self-help tool on the way to emotional engagement and psychological well-being.
In the book It's not always depression, through the fascinating stories of patients, practical advice and deep insights of certified psychotherapist Hilary Jacobs Handel, we get to know Accelerated Experiential dynamic psychotherapy (UIDP), which aims to help us relieve anxiety and depression and discover our authentic Self. In contrast to the cognitive-behavioral approach, which emphasizes the influence of thoughts on human behavior, Jacobs Handel teaches us to identify inhibitory emotions (shame, guilt, anxiety), which block our primary emotions (anger, sadness, fear, disgust, joy, excitement and sexual arousal) and allow us to enter a state of open heart, in which we are calm, curious, connected, compassionate, confident, brave and clear.
