Sample Book Insights:

#1 If you are reading this book, it is because you have decided it was time to address your depression from a different perspective. You want to be free from the crushing weight of depression and live a life of acceptance and empowerment.

#2 You have been wearing tinted glasses that have changed the way you see yourself and others. These glasses were developed during your development, and they are based on the relationships and experiences you have in the world around you.

#3 The schemas you develop are often integral to helping you make sense of the world. They are extremely resilient, and they can guide your behaviors, thoughts, and relationships in such a way that they always confirm their validity. They can lead to depression.

#4 When a defectiveness schema sets in, we engage in certain behaviors to cope with it. We may avoid other people and the ways we feel they judge us, or avoid certain experiences because we’re sure we’ll fall short or fail in some way.
