Beyond Your Confines: The Workbook
by Chris Warren-Dickins

How to use your nervous system to free your mind

Based on the popular Beyond Your Confines comes the invaluable companion guide to using your nervous system to free your mind.
 
Beyond Your Confines was published in 2022 and many readers discovered how they were trapped inside a mental prison of dysregulation. They used Beyond Your Confines to better understand their burnout, anxiety, depression, and issues relating to trauma, and since 2022, many have asked for a practical application of the principles raised in that book.
 
Chris could not ignore those requests. In this fascinating workbook, Chris offers a carefully constructed approach to learning about your nervous system, and how you can use that knowledge to reach beyond the confines of your mental prison. Using engaging concepts and exercises, Chris offers you an accessible, thought-provoking guide that can help people on a micro and a macro level. As Chris explains, if you use this workbook to continuously strive for balance in your own life, you can help yourself but also the society in which you live. In turn, that will have a positive impact on your nervous system, given the interdependent relationship of the individual and society.
 
Empowering, resourceful, a practical guide all in one, Beyond Your Confines: The Workbook is an essential guide to using your nervous system to break free of your mental prison and free your mind.

Praise for Beyond Your Confines: The Workbook

“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

"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
