Living Better with Yourself

A Practical Guide to Embodied Growth

by Michael Conti

Embark upon a journey of embodied self-development that enables you to live better with yourself. This is an opportunity for you to better integrate your mind, body, emotions and behaviour, while using your body as a primary way of bringing about change within yourself.

This book focuses on predominant aspects of the human experience and integrates different psychological and body-focused approaches. Each chapter aims to increase your awareness of how you currently experience your life, offering you the opportunity to better understand how your past has impacted your own development and providing you with tools to further your personal growth.

We will look at your experience of fear, anger, shame and guilt, and how to strike a balance between the cognitive and emotional sides of yourself. You will also learn how to better deal with your inner critical voice, any ‘should’ statements in your life and your relationship with control. We will also focus on our inherent need for safety and the ‘good’ and ‘not-so-good’ sides that each one of us have. Finally, we will look at how you can further develop your sense of self-worth.

This book is also an excellent resource for accompanying others in their personal growth.
