Thank you for all your kind words about Beyond Your Confines: The Workbook. I am beyond touched to hear that pediatricians, psychotherapists, and other mental health professionals have found this workbook useful.

Here are just some of the reviews:

“As a psychotherapist, I find this workbook to be an extremely valuable tool. It deals with a host of issues people face at times, such as anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. Chris has a wonderful way of clarifying topics and giving the reader an opportunity to think and reflect on their own life story. My best to all the readers who will benefit from this.”
 - Nancy Dykstra-Powers, Licensed Clinical Social Worker

"The individuals who are going to be using this as a tool for growth and healing are lucky to have such an attentive and compassionate writer and clinician. Chris Warren-Dickins has written a wonder. This workbook walks the reader through each step, detailing and offering insights on each point. It was amazing to see how much work and effort Chris has put towards this project; as I can only imagine Chris has put towards so many projects." 
- Candra Savage, Licensed Clinical Social Worker
 
“A post-pandemic workbook that makes self-work accessible to all: whether you are working with your therapist, or you are ready to work on your own at home. Understand the thought distortions and distracted behaviors that keep you trapped; give yourself a greater awareness and acceptance of your emotional state and the underlying past and current traumas that have brought you here; and most importantly learn the tools to break free of them.”  
- Dr Katrina Munteanu, Pediatrician

"We need more workbooks like this in the current climate of polarization. Our mental health post-pandemic has certainly taken a battering and it’s more important than ever to work on ourselves to stay in balance. Psychotherapist Chris Warren-Dickins explains how our need for certainty, and our belief that we are right, can imprison us in a life of eternal limitations.”
- Graeme Smith, award-winning podcaster and radio presenter

Thank you to Anna Lazowski for her kind words about The Beast of Gloom:

“You have some really lovely imagery in here, I especially like the idea of the beast filling the room, because that's so accurate as it truly feels like it takes up all the space available.”

The Beast of Gloom is available now.

When the Beast of Gloom appears in your life, please remember:

• It might seem so big right now, but it will reduce in time.
• It might feel like it will last forever, but it won't.
• You might believe that no one understands, but many do.
• You might believe you are the only one who has felt this way, but that isn't true.
• You might not feel like it will change, but it will.

When you are depressed, your brain can't function as well as it might. So lean on the support and guidance of others until the shadow of the Beast of Gloom reduces, and you can see your way to those better days.
