CLASSIC SELF-HELP FROM A RESPECTED PIONEER OF PSYCHOTHERAPY
?
From social anxiety to phobias to post-traumatic stress disorder, sources of anxiety in daily life are numerous, and can have a powerful impact on your future. By following the rules of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), created by world renowned therapist Dr. Albert Ellis, you can stop anxiety in its tracks if you will admit this important fact: Things and people do not make you anxious. You do. Your unrealistic expectations produce your needless anxiety. Yet not all anxiety is needless…
?
Healthy anxiety can ward off dangers and make you aware of negative things that you can change. Unhealthy anxiety inhibits you from enjoying everyday activities and relationships, causes you to perform poorly, and blocks your creativity. Using the easy-to-master, proven precepts of REBT, this classic book not only helps you distinguish between healthy and unhealthy anxiety, but teaches you how to:
?
•Understand and dispute the irrational beliefs that make you anxious
•Use a variety of exercises, including rational coping self-statements, reframing, problem-solving methods, and Unconditional Self-Acceptance (USA), to control your anxiety
•Apply over 200 maxims to control your anxious thinking as well as your bodily reactions to anxiety
?
…and much more, including examples from dozens of cases Dr. Ellis treated successfully. Now you can overcome the crippling effects of anxiety—and increase your prospects for success, pleasure, and happiness at home and in the workplace. 作者简介

掌控心绪的艺术:驾驭内在力量的实用指南 这是一本深入探讨人类心智运作机制,旨在提供一套全面、可操作的策略,帮助读者从根本上理解和管理情绪波动的指南。本书聚焦于培养强大的内在韧性,而非仅仅是症状的缓解。 第一部分:洞悉心智的迷宫——自我觉察的基石 第一章:心智的运作原理:从生物学到心理学 我们的大脑如何工作?本章将从神经科学的角度,剖析焦虑、压力和恐惧等情绪产生的生理基础。我们将探讨杏仁核(Amygdala)在警报系统中的角色,以及前额叶皮层(Prefrontal Cortex)在理性控制中的作用。理解这些机制,是打破情绪自动反应模式的第一步。我们会详细分析“战或逃”(Fight or Flight)反应的演变及其在现代生活中的不适切性,并引入“慢思考”与“快思考”的框架,帮助读者识别何时需要加速反应,何时需要踩下刹车。 第二章:情绪的语言:识别你的内在信号 情绪并非敌人,而是身体发送的信号。本章致力于教会读者如何精细地“聆听”自己的内心。我们将区分不同层次的情绪——从基础的情绪(如愤怒、悲伤)到更复杂的混合情绪(如羞耻、嫉妒)。读者将学习使用情绪日志和身体扫描技术,精确捕捉情绪发生的时机、强度及其在身体上的具体表现(如胸闷、胃部不适)。重点在于培养“非评判性观察”的能力,即看到情绪升起,而不立即被其卷入。 第三章:思维陷阱与认知扭曲 我们的感知塑造了我们的现实。本章深入探讨导致负面情绪反复出现的常见思维模式,如“灾难化思维”、“非黑即白”的绝对化思维、过度概括以及情感推理。通过大量案例分析,读者将学会识别这些“认知扭曲”,并理解它们是如何在不知不觉中强化我们的不安感。我们引入了思维重构(Cognitive Restructuring)的基础概念,为后续章节的实用技术打下认知基础。 第二部分:构建防御工事——即时应对与长期稳定 第四章:呼吸的魔力:掌控自主神经系统的钥匙 呼吸是连接有意识控制和无意识生理反应的桥梁。本章提供了一系列科学验证的呼吸技巧,用于快速激活副交感神经系统,实现即时的镇静效果。我们将详细介绍“4-7-8 呼吸法”、“方块呼吸法”以及横膈膜呼吸法。实践指导将侧重于如何在压力峰值时,精确地运用这些技术,将心率和呼吸频率恢复到平稳状态。 第五章:正念与活在当下:脱离“时间旅行”的思维 大多数心绪不宁源于对过去的反刍或对未来的担忧。本章系统阐述正念(Mindfulness)的实践方法,帮助读者将注意力锚定在此时此刻。内容涵盖了行禅、身体扫描冥想、以及日常环境中的微小正念练习。关键在于培养一种“接受当下经验”的态度,而不是试图强行改变或压制当下的感受。我们还将探讨如何将正念融入高压情境,如会议前或重要谈话中。 第六章:行动的力量:行为激活与环境设计 面对不安感时,人倾向于退缩或逃避,这反而会固化焦虑循环。本章强调“有目的的行动”的重要性。我们将讨论“行为激活”策略,鼓励读者即使在感觉不佳时,也要坚持完成有价值的小目标。此外,内容会延伸至“环境设计”——如何通过物理空间的调整(如整理工作区、创造休息角)来支持情绪稳定。本章还包括如何系统地使用“暴露疗法”的温和版本,逐步面对那些被我们刻意回避的情境。 第三部分:深层重塑——建立持久的内在安全感 第七章:价值观导航:生活意义的指南针 真正的掌控感来自于生活在一个符合自身核心价值观的轨道上。本章引导读者进行深度自我探索,明确区分“想做的事”和“应该做的事”。我们将使用价值观澄清练习,帮助读者识别哪些行为是真正能带来长期满足感的。当生活方向清晰时,那些源于外界期望和不确定性的情绪干扰将自然减弱。 第八章:人际关系的边界与沟通艺术 我们的人际关系网络是情绪压力的重要来源。本章提供了一套清晰的“边界设定”框架。读者将学习如何以尊重但坚定的方式表达自己的需求和限制,尤其是在面对过度索取或批评时。沟通技巧部分将重点教授“非暴力沟通”的基础模型,教会读者如何描述事实、表达感受、陈述需求,并提出请求,从而减少因误解和冲突带来的心绪波动。 第九章:身体的智慧:睡眠、营养与运动的协同作用 心智健康与身体健康密不可分。本章深入探讨高质量睡眠对情绪调节的关键作用,提供科学的“睡眠卫生”指南。营养学部分关注稳定血糖水平对情绪波动的抑制作用,探讨咖啡因和糖分对神经系统的影响。运动部分则不仅仅是关于减肥,而是强调规律的有氧和力量训练如何作为天然的情绪稳定剂,帮助身体有效代谢掉累积的压力荷尔蒙。 第十章:建立个人化的复原计划(Resilience Blueprint) 掌控不是一次性的胜利,而是一个持续的过程。本章将所有学到的知识整合起来,指导读者创建一套高度个性化的“复原计划”。这包括:设定每日和每周的自我关怀例程、识别并启动个人化的“快速稳定清单”(Quick-Calm List)、建立一个可靠的支持系统网络,以及制定应对“情绪低谷期”的预案。最终目标是培养一种内在的信念:无论外部环境如何变化,你都拥有驾驭自己内在状态的能力。 结语:成为自己情绪的建筑师 本指南的终极目标是赋权读者,让他们从被动的情绪反应者转变为积极的情绪建筑师,以智慧和勇气,塑造一个内心更为宁静和强大的自我。
