Ever wonder why you keep dating the same type of person? Why that one coworker gets under your skin in a weirdly familiar way? Or why you can recite self-help books by heart but still feel stuck in the same patterns?

​

This practical, no-nonsense workbook takes you on a guided tour of your own mind, helping you understand how your past experiences shape your present reactions (spoiler alert: it's not just about your mother). Through 34 carefully structured worksheets and clear, sometimes uncomfortably accurate examples, you'll learn to:

​

• Identify your psychological defense mechanisms (we all have them!)

• Understand why your anxiety shows up at the most inconvenient times

• Recognize patterns in your relationships that keep repeating themselves

• Actually feel your feelings (yes, even the scary ones)

​

Unlike many self-help books that just tell you to "be mindful" or "practice self-care," this workbook gives you concrete tools to understand why you do what you do. It's like having a therapist in book form – one who won't charge you for canceling last minute.

​

Written by experienced psychotherapist Andrew R. Morton, this workbook brings complex psychodynamic concepts down to earth without dumbing them down. It's perfect for anyone who's tired of surface-level solutions and ready to do the real work of understanding themselves.

Warning: Side effects may include increased self-awareness, improved relationships, and fewer Sunday night anxiety attacks.
