Self-awareness, healing yourself, and understanding your traumas. You don't need a therapist.

At least, not to start the process. Knowing yourself is one of the most difficult things in the world, and don't let access or funds stop your journey to yourself.

Learn about why you do the things you do, and why you think the way you think. It's not always so simple.

The Art of Self-Therapy is a book that introduces you to yourself. We all have unique beliefs and thought patterns that influence our behavior. Are you happy with all of the outcomes your thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors create for you? Or do you frequently feel unstable, confused, lost, or out of control?

Therapy is a tough task for most. It can be expensive, scary, or socially unacceptable. But this is a process you can start for yourself. Time to start the rest of your life.

Think exactly what you want to think, and do only what you want to do. This is the wonderful outcome of knowing yourself.

Nick Trenton grew up in rural Illinois and is quite literally a farm boy. His best friend growing up was his trusty companion Leonard the dachshund. RIP Leonard. Eventually, he made it off the farm and obtained a BS in Economics, followed by an MA in Behavioral Psychology.

Your shadow side and how it shows you exactly what your traumas are about.

Understanding your inner child and how they are trapped inside of you.

Knowing the attachment style that dictates your adult relationships.

How to re-program your thoughts to have healthier coping mechanisms.

How to build your life one small step at a time with behavioral experiments.

Find what you were born for and live the life you were meant to.

Identity. It’s an abstract term. But it starts with realizing where you came from, in order to know where you should be going. And that’s the difference between fulfillment and going through the motions day after day.

Find clarity and direction, the true foundations of happiness.

How to Find Yourself provides a thorough and scientific approach to understanding yourself and why you do the things you do. You will discover your values, the roots of your behaviors, and what makes you tick.

And then you can use this information to your advantage.

No more floating through life.

Peter Hollins has studied psychology and peak human performance for over a dozen years and is a bestselling author. He has worked with a multitude of individuals to unlock their potential and path towards success. His writing draws on his academic, coaching, and research experience.

Gain the self-awareness to live in tune with your intentions.

•The historical and biological bases of personality and identity.

•How to classify yourself using OCEAN.

•The ever-popular MBTI and how the Keirsey Temperaments are even more illuminating.

•How nature and nurture work together.

•The art of gaining self-awareness through self-analysis and observation.

Self-discovery is how you create the life you want.

It sounds so simple - and it is. A doctor can’t treat a sickness without understanding what it is, and you can’t hope to find fulfillment without understanding what provides that feeling for you. Self-discovery unlocks the potential of your happiness. .
