Leben geht nur vorwärts

"Only by engaging enough with your psyche can you be happy!" is a widely held belief. This is not true, argues the renowned schema therapist Gitta Jacob. It is good and important for people to understand their behavioral patterns, wounds, and difficult emotions. However, over time, self-reflection can hinder taking responsibility for one's own actions. In her new book, Jacob outlines the limits of psychotherapy and the dangers that constant focus on the inner child can create. With many concrete challenges, the psychologist illustrates what it truly takes to master decisions, mood swings, and problems with confidence.
