Resumen del Editor

Are you finding life difficult and don’t know why? Are you thinking about therapy or need to know how to "do" life in a way that is more relaxing and without negative feelings and emotions taking their toll? Do you or someone you know need practical help to get in touch with emotions?

This timely book The Expected Self is both a practical and active book detailing the author’s unique "Three Selves" method, which is full of resources and steps you can take before, during, after, or even as an alternative to face-to-face therapy.

In this superb, easy-to-listen-to, practical audiobook Gareth Palmer shares:

• Valuable examples of people who have tentatively begun therapy with feelings of shame and guilt and have transformed their lives for the better.
• Practical techniques that you can apply to your own life to initiate positive change
• Multiple insights into why men suffer from anxiety and depression (and exercises to help overcome these conditions)
• Guidance on how those who do not identify as "men" also suffer from mental ill health and how this model can work for them.
• Expert advice on how to move away from the compulsions that drive men and steer them towards a more easeful and authentic way of living
• And much more

This is a unique method and is based on what works. The "Three Selves" model describes the ways in which these selves are made and continue to function. What the model explores is that these three selves are at different levels of consciousness and as such they interweave with one another.

The author draws on his 14 years of experience as a Manchester (UK) therapist working with literally hundreds of men across thousands of hours and from all walks of life in order to create this practical and easy-to-follow manual for change. His unique and practical model of the "Three Selves" has been worked through in therapy sessions with people other than those identifying as men and has been found to be effective with various backgrounds and gender identities. It demonstrates how you have developed relationships with your body, other people, your thinking, and your emotions—four fundamental relationships that are unconscious reactions to your environment.

An appreciation of the way you are that has been shaped by these largely unconscious mechanisms can be the catalyst for enormously positive changes in your life and in your relationships. There’s never been a more crucial time for this practical guidebook to promote therapeutic change.
