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. 作者簡介

掌控心緒的藝術:駕馭內在力量的實用指南 這是一本深入探討人類心智運作機製,旨在提供一套全麵、可操作的策略,幫助讀者從根本上理解和管理情緒波動的指南。本書聚焦於培養強大的內在韌性,而非僅僅是癥狀的緩解。 第一部分:洞悉心智的迷宮——自我覺察的基石 第一章:心智的運作原理:從生物學到心理學 我們的大腦如何工作?本章將從神經科學的角度,剖析焦慮、壓力和恐懼等情緒産生的生理基礎。我們將探討杏仁核(Amygdala)在警報係統中的角色,以及前額葉皮層(Prefrontal Cortex)在理性控製中的作用。理解這些機製,是打破情緒自動反應模式的第一步。我們會詳細分析“戰或逃”(Fight or Flight)反應的演變及其在現代生活中的不適切性,並引入“慢思考”與“快思考”的框架,幫助讀者識彆何時需要加速反應,何時需要踩下刹車。 第二章:情緒的語言:識彆你的內在信號 情緒並非敵人,而是身體發送的信號。本章緻力於教會讀者如何精細地“聆聽”自己的內心。我們將區分不同層次的情緒——從基礎的情緒(如憤怒、悲傷)到更復雜的混閤情緒(如羞恥、嫉妒)。讀者將學習使用情緒日誌和身體掃描技術,精確捕捉情緒發生的時機、強度及其在身體上的具體錶現(如胸悶、胃部不適)。重點在於培養“非評判性觀察”的能力,即看到情緒升起,而不立即被其捲入。 第三章:思維陷阱與認知扭麯 我們的感知塑造瞭我們的現實。本章深入探討導緻負麵情緒反復齣現的常見思維模式,如“災難化思維”、“非黑即白”的絕對化思維、過度概括以及情感推理。通過大量案例分析,讀者將學會識彆這些“認知扭麯”,並理解它們是如何在不知不覺中強化我們的不安感。我們引入瞭思維重構(Cognitive Restructuring)的基礎概念,為後續章節的實用技術打下認知基礎。 第二部分:構建防禦工事——即時應對與長期穩定 第四章:呼吸的魔力:掌控自主神經係統的鑰匙 呼吸是連接有意識控製和無意識生理反應的橋梁。本章提供瞭一係列科學驗證的呼吸技巧,用於快速激活副交感神經係統,實現即時的鎮靜效果。我們將詳細介紹“4-7-8 呼吸法”、“方塊呼吸法”以及橫膈膜呼吸法。實踐指導將側重於如何在壓力峰值時,精確地運用這些技術,將心率和呼吸頻率恢復到平穩狀態。 第五章:正念與活在當下:脫離“時間旅行”的思維 大多數心緒不寜源於對過去的反芻或對未來的擔憂。本章係統闡述正念(Mindfulness)的實踐方法,幫助讀者將注意力錨定在此時此刻。內容涵蓋瞭行禪、身體掃描冥想、以及日常環境中的微小正念練習。關鍵在於培養一種“接受當下經驗”的態度,而不是試圖強行改變或壓製當下的感受。我們還將探討如何將正念融入高壓情境,如會議前或重要談話中。 第六章:行動的力量:行為激活與環境設計 麵對不安感時,人傾嚮於退縮或逃避,這反而會固化焦慮循環。本章強調“有目的的行動”的重要性。我們將討論“行為激活”策略,鼓勵讀者即使在感覺不佳時,也要堅持完成有價值的小目標。此外,內容會延伸至“環境設計”——如何通過物理空間的調整(如整理工作區、創造休息角)來支持情緒穩定。本章還包括如何係統地使用“暴露療法”的溫和版本,逐步麵對那些被我們刻意迴避的情境。 第三部分:深層重塑——建立持久的內在安全感 第七章:價值觀導航:生活意義的指南針 真正的掌控感來自於生活在一個符閤自身核心價值觀的軌道上。本章引導讀者進行深度自我探索,明確區分“想做的事”和“應該做的事”。我們將使用價值觀澄清練習,幫助讀者識彆哪些行為是真正能帶來長期滿足感的。當生活方嚮清晰時,那些源於外界期望和不確定性的情緒乾擾將自然減弱。 第八章:人際關係的邊界與溝通藝術 我們的人際關係網絡是情緒壓力的重要來源。本章提供瞭一套清晰的“邊界設定”框架。讀者將學習如何以尊重但堅定的方式錶達自己的需求和限製,尤其是在麵對過度索取或批評時。溝通技巧部分將重點教授“非暴力溝通”的基礎模型,教會讀者如何描述事實、錶達感受、陳述需求,並提齣請求,從而減少因誤解和衝突帶來的心緒波動。 第九章:身體的智慧:睡眠、營養與運動的協同作用 心智健康與身體健康密不可分。本章深入探討高質量睡眠對情緒調節的關鍵作用,提供科學的“睡眠衛生”指南。營養學部分關注穩定血糖水平對情緒波動的抑製作用,探討咖啡因和糖分對神經係統的影響。運動部分則不僅僅是關於減肥,而是強調規律的有氧和力量訓練如何作為天然的情緒穩定劑,幫助身體有效代謝掉纍積的壓力荷爾濛。 第十章:建立個人化的復原計劃(Resilience Blueprint) 掌控不是一次性的勝利,而是一個持續的過程。本章將所有學到的知識整閤起來,指導讀者創建一套高度個性化的“復原計劃”。這包括:設定每日和每周的自我關懷例程、識彆並啓動個人化的“快速穩定清單”(Quick-Calm List)、建立一個可靠的支持係統網絡,以及製定應對“情緒低榖期”的預案。最終目標是培養一種內在的信念:無論外部環境如何變化,你都擁有駕馭自己內在狀態的能力。 結語:成為自己情緒的建築師 本指南的終極目標是賦權讀者,讓他們從被動的情緒反應者轉變為積極的情緒建築師,以智慧和勇氣,塑造一個內心更為寜靜和強大的自我。
