Penguin presents the audiobook edition of It's Not Always Depression by Hilary Jacobs Hendel, read by Cassandra Campbell. Includes a PDF of reference materials.

We were all taught that our thoughts affect our emotions, but in truth it is largely the other way around: we have to experience our emotions to truly understand our thoughts and our full selves. This is why we should think not only about cognitive behavioural therapy or medication but also about our emotions when addressing psychological suffering.

In It's Not Always Depression, pioneering psychotherapist Hilary Jacobs Hendel reveals the most effective techniques for putting us back in touch with the emotions we too often deny - methods which can be used by anyone, any time, anywhere. Drawing on stories from her own practice, she sheds light on the core emotions (such as joy, sadness and fear), defences (anything we do to avoid feeling) and inhibitory emotions (anxiety, shame and guilt) and how understanding their interaction can help us return to mental well-being.

This is the basis of accelerated experiential dynamic psychotherapy: it accelerates healing through having an emotional experience in the here and now. It allows you to reacquaint yourself with your feelings, to recover a more authentic self and to be more calm, curious and connected.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

This is a handbook for being human. You would be hard pressed to find anyone who wouldn’t benefit from reading this book. An easy and insightful read on acknowledging, honouring and processing emotions in a healthy way that helps heal depression, anxiety and shame. It changed my life from the very first chapter.

This is powerful stuff. It will change how you think about yourself and others.

This clearly demonstrates how we lie to ourselves and others about how we really feel and how much of a burden this places on our ability to be our true selves and how we so often modify our thoughts, feelings and behaviour in order to avoid confronting our fears shame and guilt. It shows how often we allow others to push us into uncomfortable places from which we feel we cannot escape. Everyone should read this. Learn to recognise how and when you are stifling your emotions and how to take responsibility for your life. This is powerful stuff and does not always make for easy reading.
My only criticism is that it is somewhat repetitive in places.

As a social worker myself I like the way emotions and defense mechanisms are being looked at in this book. I definitely learned something new! The book is written in an easy to understand language, therefore it’s not only for professionals.
However, the foreword doesn’t do the book any favours. It’s a lot of hot air from someone who wanted to be heard. Don’t put the book away after reading the foreword, I almost did and I would have regretted it.

Help for some.

An interesting model for how defenses against emotion can lead to depression. Useful if the cause of your negative emotions is in the past, or if you have any positive emotions available to feel now. If your life is unhappy and you have no cause or outlet for positive emotion, then it's not much use. Worth a look though.

Best £7 I've ever spent

Found this purely by accident and the title intrigued me. Read it over a weekend and plan to read it again. I thought the techniques wouldn't work but tried them with an open mind and they did work, and I'll be repeating these as required.
