Self-Coaching: The Powerful Program to Beat Anxiety and Depression
In the summer of 2001, when Self-Coaching: How to Heal Anxiety and
Depression was released, I had no idea of the turbulent times that would
befall our country in a matter of days. On the morning of September 11,
2001, I was driving into Manhattan on the George Washington Bridge.
Suddenly the music I was listening to on the radio was abruptly interrupted
by frantic and conflicting reports about an explosion at the World
Trade Center. I glanced down the Hudson River shoreline, observing
what was to become the most disturbing sight of my life. In that frozen
moment, as the impossible expressed itself in the form of a black-orange
plume of smoke wafting against an azure sky, I, like so many others, was
confronted with a horror that continues to reverberate in my mind even
now, years later.
During the months following 9/11, I was kept very busy with TV and
radio interviews; everyone was clamoring for advice on how to handle
their feelings of grief, fear, anxiety, and depression. As a nation, we were
trying to cope. I hope that my message of Self-Coaching was able to offer
solace during those impossible days. As a psychologist and author, I was
deeply gratified by the response I received from readers and listeners all
over the world letting me know that Self-Coaching had given them a
new perspective, a way out of their suffering and struggle.
It never occurred to me that years later I would have so much more to
say about healing anxiety and depression. As with so many things in
life, growth and change are inevitable. The more I incorporated Self-
Coaching into my practice and the more I lectured and wrote, the more
I made refinements to my philosophy and my techniques. In 2003 I
wrote The Power of Self-Coaching: The Five Essential Steps to Creating the
Life You Want. This, my second book in the Self-Coaching series, applied
my Self-Coaching techniques to a wider range of struggle than just anxiety
and depression.
