The Path through the Woods

At the root of most mental health problems, are parts of ourselves waiting to be acknowledged and soothed. This workbook is a simple yet effective step by step guide to making that recovery possible using a combination of therapeutic techniques, for just 1 hour a day over 90 days, (which is believed to be the average time it takes to form new habits, beliefs and behaviours). I started to make this workbook for friends who were also walking the path of shadow work, which is to say- making the unconscious conscious and healing from our past. As a therapist myself, I knew the map to healing- or at least I had a good idea. So when it came time to address my own shadow work more fully, I simply pulled together a program of effective techniques I knew would be successful and got to to work healing myself. I wanted to share this with as many people as possible, especially for those who may not have the resources to create their own map to recovery. For this reason, the PDF is free and all profits from the book will be donated to The Samaritans; a charity devoted to saving those in emotional crisis since 1953. This workbook is a blend of many different approaches from the world of therapy, such as Art therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Nero-linguistic Programming (NLP) & Hypnotherapy. Though the core of it focuses on re-parenting work using Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. In conjunction with that, this book also draws upon the world of Esoteric healing by bringing Meditation, Mantras & Affirmations into the healing journey too. In particular, I'd like to draw attention to one of my own personal hero's; Richard Grannon, who created the foundations of many of the methods I've expanded on in this book. Please do give him a search on Youtube- especially under his 'Fortress Mental Health Protection' channel, because his brilliant mind truly helped me through my own 'dark night of the soul', & still continues to do so. Sadly, we are facing a Mental Health Epidemic in society. At such a time where our national health services are not always as available as they should be & thousands of people suffer as they get put on waiting lists, I wanted to create a tool which anyone can use to help themselves, independent of a system which often fails them. That being said, it can be useful, (though not necessary) to work through this book alongside therapy. For instance, you may want to book in for a few sessions with a BACP accredited therapist to help you reflect & write your Mission Statement on page 8 if it's hard to write it yourself. Or, as you heal, if painful memories start resurfacing or you find the work too emotionally challenging, it might be better to pause the work & wait for a therapist. It is always important to go gently on yourself as you heal. Above all, I wish you all the joy which comes from taking your wellbeing into your own hands as you heal from the past & reclaim your power, health & happiness! The journey begins here...!With Love and Light, Kubi May
