Coles A Therapist's Reflections on Authenticity: Congruence and the Modern World at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
Rooted in Carl Rogers' person-centred approach, this book skilfully combines person-centred theory with social commentary to explore the root of many problems people face - namely, a lack of authenticity. A Therapist's Reflections on Authenticity is written by an experienced therapist and blends real-world experience with grounded reflection; it offers a human, emotionally-literate guide through the messy, non-linear path to authenticity. Molyneux combines relatable observations, social commentary, and personal experience to accompany the reader through this profound journey. This book does not offer quick fixes or linear steps, but rather, it offers the reader a mirror and gently encourages each person to uncover what authenticity means to them and how to reclaim it from an increasingly performative and disconnected world. The book begins by using a grounding in person-centred theory of development to show how we begin to deny ourselves and experience from a young age. The book then moves to look at the place of social media, capitalism, and the workplace to show how this process is continued into adulthood, explaining the rise in our mental health struggles and the impacts of the modern world. Finally, it explores the ways that we can increase our self-awareness, which lies at the heart of becoming more authentic. Suggestions are offered to develop both our self-awareness and authenticity, ultimately resulting in a decrease in tension, anxiety, and many of the mental health problems we are increasingly facing in the 21st century. Grounded in therapeutic theory and personal insight, this book is written for anyone feeling the strain of performance, avoidance, people-pleasing, burnout, anxiety, or persistent difficulties.
