The stories we tell ourselves about ourselves make all the difference

In the middle of Tim Wilson's Redirect: The Surprising New Science of Psychological Change. Wilson's thesis is one familiar both to CBT practitioners as well as Narrative Therapy & Solution Focused folk, namely the way we integrate ourselves into the narrative of our existing circumstances has a mega-impact on our emotions and behaviours. What's unusual about Wilson's book is that he makes it sound soooooooo easy to develop techniques and interventions to facilitate this. Which in honesty it is.....as long as we escape the prison of thinking everything we do should be so complicated. Will certainly recommend this on both our Solution Focused and CBT training courses www.skillsdevelopment.co.uk

About this Blog

This is our first attempt to join the exciting world of blogging and bring to you all the fresh and hot news about the world of psychology and, of course, about your favourite training company. This is our new enterprise and we are finding our way in this mysterious world of blogging cautiously (but surely...) :-)
We are hoping to move our popular SDS Delegate Debate into this blogging format in the future and looking forward to lively discussions here with you. We are planning to start with publishing already existing SDS Delegate Debates — with comments received from you. Then we'll move to the current news as well as will run new delegate debates there.
Feel free to leave comments to any of the posts — whether they are old debates, the news or new debates. As you can guess — every blogger loves his readers and LIVES for the comments. :-) We are just the same. You don’t need to register in order to be able to comment. You can leave your feedback as “Anonymous”, however, may we ask you to sign you name (or nick) at the end of your comment (even if you are commenting without logging in) so that we know how to address you.
Another useful tool that SDS Blog provides us with is availability of Polls that enable us to find out your views about various subjects. Polls are located on the left panel of the page and updated regularly. Please feel free to vote. You can see the results of each poll by clicking the button "Results".
If you wish to register — nothing can be easier — you just open a Google account — most of you, surely, already use one.
Your comments are read by SDS Consultants regularly and — in many cases — replied to.
The blog is moderated — mainly to protect you and other readers from spam and irrelevant comments.
All posts are tagged — hopefully it'll help you to find your way around there.
Wish us luck and please join the list of our followers.
