Redirect Our Stories - Social Psychologist Timothy Wilson


Interesting - but I am in total agreement. For existential level dysfunctions this is certainly a very useful therapy, and one I employ. This is even a useful tool for sexual assault or molestation after the age of five or six. But for pre-verbal wounding, more commonly thought of as attachment failures, I suspect there is little that can be done with verbal approaches - these wounds to the self-system reside in the soma and the right hemisphere of the brain, largely inaccessible to verbal therapies.

Redirect with Timothy Wilson from the RSA
Professor Wilson reveals how many conventional psychological therapies and interventions, including most self-help books, can do us more harm than good. Presenting the very latest research, he shows that the key to transforming our lives lies simply in learning to redirect the stories we tell ourselves.
