Over dit e-boek

""Paradoxical Intent Method"" introduces a unique approach to overcoming anxiety, phobias, and compulsive behaviors. Rooted in Viktor Frankl's logotherapy, this self-help psychology book explores how intentionally embracing feared behaviors can paradoxically reduce their power. The core idea involves disrupting ""anticipatory anxiety,"" where the fear of a symptom intensifies the symptom itself, a common cycle in anxiety disorders and OCD. This method challenges traditional avoidance strategies, suggesting direct, managed confrontation can provide lasting relief.

The book begins by laying the theoretical groundwork, tracing the method's origins and psychological mechanisms, distinguishing it from techniques like exposure therapy. It then progresses to practical applications, detailing strategies for various anxiety-related conditions and presenting case studies. Ethical considerations and potential pitfalls are also addressed, emphasizing the need for proper training.

It highlights how paradoxical intention can reframe decisions driven by the fear of loss, offering a fresh perspective on anxiety treatment beyond mere symptom management. This book offers a valuable resource for mental health professionals and individuals seeking alternative approaches to anxiety. By understanding and applying paradoxical intention, readers can potentially break free from the cycle of anxiety and regain control over their thoughts and behaviors.

The book uniquely bridges psychology with philosophy, exploring existential themes of meaning and acceptance.
