Sample Book Insights:

#1 The time has come for you to get a grip on yourself and take the first steps toward rebuilding yourself. This step may be small or hesitant: You’re afraid to stumble again. Just remember that the first step is always the most difficult.

#2 It is necessary to accept the inevitable and to recognize and embrace what is harming you. This phase is necessary to first pull yourself together before you can move forward. It takes courage to be honest with yourself and admit your difficulties rather than to deny or overshadow them.

#3 Kintsugi is a beautiful metaphor for the steps of healing depression. With the help of therapy, you will discover your true self and overcome your ordeals.

#4 To practice the exercise, take several deep breaths and relax completely. Then, connect with your body and feel its sensations. Think about the misfortune you are actually living through and about what makes you suffer. Then, identify one of these feelings and consider what emotion it conveys.
