Description
A new approach to change begins with understanding our resistance to it. We all have something we want to change about ourselves, but often feel discouraged when we don't succeed. This can lead to negative feelings and make it even harder to change. Psychotherapist and sociologist Ross Ellenhorn argues that successful change depends on understanding why we don't change. He identifies 10 key reasons why we resist transformation, from the simplest shifts to profound changes. By addressing these underlying factors, Ellenhorn offers a long-term method for achieving transformation and overcoming extreme psychiatric experiences and problematic substance use issues. By exploring our evolutionary imperatives and the 'Fear of Hope', Ellenhorn provides hope and helps us work towards the change we seek. His approach is characterised by humour and kindness, making it accessible to those seeking personal growth and self-improvement.
