Life doesn’t always get better. But with time and practice, we get better at life. We build new habits. We learn new emotional coping skills. We persist in our self-help efforts, till we find the ones that work for us. And we do this day after day, in the face of our most difficult personal challenges.
Shortcuts, we learn, just don’t work very well.
Until her thirty-second year, Ruth sought a cure for her persistent depression. Then she found Jackson, a trusted therapist, who showed her a different way. It’s not about any one thing you do, he told her. It’s about everything you do, every day.
Ruth didn’t need a cure, because the cure does not exist. What she needed was a comprehensive depression management strategy.
Featuring four dozen evidence-based cognitive, behavioral and emotional strategies, We Get Better addresses the whole person. But it’s not for the dabbler. It’s for people like Ruth, who are willing to try everything.
It’s a plan for people who are ready to get better.
