Through a Therapist's Eyes

Reunderstanding Emotions and Becoming Your Best Self

About this book

Through a Therapist's Eyes helps individuals grow as a person and equips them to tackle the challenges of life and flourish emotionally in all that they accomplish.

Universally, human beings are said to have what is referred to as the Human Condition. This human condition refers to the massive set of feelings and emotions including insecurities, hurts, and hang-ups that have a tendency to arrest development and suffocate people emotionally. In Through a Therapist's Eyes, Christopher A. Gazdik, LCSW presents powerfully unique information he has developed over his 25 years of being a therapist in order to help people through the tough moments and situations they find themselves in throughout the journey of life. Chris provides tools people need to manage these tough life circumstances which are synthesized from specific moments he experienced in various individual psychotherapy experiences. Through a Therapist's Eyes helps people destroy insecurities, manage fears, and identify personal strengths and methods to cope with the life circumstance they might find themselves in.
