Don’t Blame Yourself, Act. - E-book - ePub

Have you ever felt guilty for something you could not control? Have you suffered for what you did or did not do in the past? Have you thought that you are responsible for everything that happens to you and what happens to others? If the answer is yes, this book is for you. Guilt is a human emotion that we all experience at some point in our lives. It is a sign that we have acted contrary to our values or social norms.
To some extent, guilt can be positive, as it helps us to recognize our mistakes, to repair the damage we have caused and to improve as people. However, when guilt becomes excessive, irrational or chronic, it becomes a problem that affects our mental and physical health, our self-esteem and our happiness. In this book, I will teach you how to stop blaming yourself for what you cannot control and focus on what you can.
Through a practical and effective method, based on cognitive-behavioral psychology and acceptance and commitment therapy, you will learn to identify the causes and types of guilt you feel, change the irrational beliefs that feed your guilt, confront guilt and forgive yourself and others, and focus on the present and the future, setting clear and realistic goals that will allow you to improve your emotional well-being.
This book is not intended to be a substitute for professional therapy, but a guide to help you better understand your guilt and overcome it with simple and effective tools. It is not about denying or repressing your guilt, but about accepting it and transforming it into an opportunity for personal growth. It is not about blaming others or destiny for what happens to you, but about taking responsibility for what depends on you and freeing yourself from what does not.
It is not about living tormented by the past or anxious about the future, but about enjoying the present and building the future you want. If you are ready to stop suffering from guilt and improve your quality of life, this book is for you. I invite you to join me on this journey of self-knowledge and self-care, where you will discover how not to blame yourself, act.
