This is a powerful new guide to healing anxiety and depression. This book introduces the revolutionary concept of self-coaching that will appeal to a very broad market. Nearly everyone has suffered from mild anxiety or depression at some point in his or her life, and a very large percentage of people suffer from clinical anxiety or depression. The effects of these two illnesses can be devastating. In this inspiring, practical book, readers will learn tools that will help them overcome many cases of anxiety and depression without having to see a therapist or take medication. Written by a clinical psychologist with twenty-two years of experience in private practice, Self-Coaching gives readers a positive motivational technique called Self-talk to heal themselves. Self-Coaching presents the dramatic stories of Dr. Luciani's patients, along with his own story of suffering from anxiety. Providing simple and practical psychological action steps, Dr. Luciani's unique coaching and motivational program teaches readers how to break through the patterns of thinking that feed anxiety and depression. Once they break through, Self-Coaching shows how a healthy, adaptive way of living can become a realistic choice. Joseph Luciani, PhD (Cresskill, NJ), is a clinical psychologist in full-time private practice. A popular lecturer, he has appeared on many radio and television shows.
