About this book
It's time to break up with your toxic mind.
Have you ever had thoughts that drag you down, rather than lift you up? Thoughts that make you feel hopeless and stuck? You're far from alone. Many people struggle with negative thoughts about themselvesâand the world. But if your unrepentant ruminations are getting in the way of living your life, it's time to tell your toxic mind to cut the crap. It's time to stand up to your inner critic. And it's time to show negative thoughts the doorâonce and for all.
Written by a psychotherapist and grounded in proven-effective mindfulness and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), the irreverent, no-nonsense approach in this snarkyâyet hopefulâguide will help you "ghost" your negative thoughts, put an end to toxic self-talk, and start living like a badass, with all the positivity and confidence needed to reach your goals.
Over time, negative self-talk can lead to more than just a pessimistic outlook on life. It can destroy your confidence; damage your relationships; and lead to anxiety, depression, and a host of other mental health conditions. It's time to say, enough! This little book will give you the toolsâand the courage âyou need to tell your toxic mind to f*ck off for good.
