Happiness and Success

Hi, I have just posted an update to the Happiness Blog, here:

Please take a look and see what you think. this is how it begins:

Hi,Sorry for the delay in posting this blog. My mother-in-law died last week, and life has not been the same, of course.Earlier this week, I completed Paper No.9 in the current series of papers on the development of Cognitive Emotive Narrative Therapy (CENT). It deals with the social roots of the individual.

But how does that relate to the objective of this page, which is to promote happiness by promoting more effective thinking?

Firstly, many clients who come to see me are unhappy about their sense of identity. They may:

(a) Dislike themselves, because they identify themselves with something negative;

(b) Dislike themselves because others seems to relate to them in negative ways;

(c) Be confused about 'who I am';

(d) Lack confidence in themselves;

(e) Lack a sense of self love;

(f) and so on.

The CENT analysis of "who I am" is intended to be liberational for people with those kinds of problems; by helping them to think their way to a better self concept; by helping them to see that they are not what they think they are; and to help them to see that they can change themselves by changing their view of their personal history.
