Being human

Being human is a book that invites you to explore, reflect, and play with what it means for you to be human. With questions, drawings, educational information, and short exercises, the book guides you on this journey in three parts: - Be: Which experiences are normal parts of being human? This section explores everyday struggles, wonders, and routines, without a focus on change. - Dive: Which strategies make being human easier, more manageable, and fun? In this part, we take three deep dives: reconnecting with your inner child parts, breaking unhelpful coping mechanisms, and dealing with unhelpful beliefs and the inner critic. These strategies are based on Schema Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, both scientifically proven approaches to a wide range of human difficulties. - Evolve: How would you like to evolve in your life? This part explores that question and the barriers you may encounter when trying to align your life with your dreams and values. What it means to be human is yours to define. I hope this book helps you in your exploration and makes your human experience more fun, authentic, and manageable.
