What am I Missing?

Brought to you by Penguin. One of the UK’s best-loved psychotherapists reveals the blind spots that are clouding our judgement and affecting our relationships, and shares the tools to overcome them Have you ever had a conversation with a friend or relative that’s hit a nerve and you can’t figure out why it bothered you so much ? Over the course of her 15-year career, Emma has discovered that the root of this pain and confusion often lies in a blind spot : a gap in our awareness that distorts how we perceive ourselves and our loved ones which, left unchallenged, can leave us feeling unloved, insecure or overwhelmed. In What am I Missing? Emma reveals the four blind spot profiles along with client case studies to demonstrate how they show up in daily life, and exercises to help us see past them: Are you THE GLADIATOR , determined but missing trust? THE BRIDGE , easy-going but missing authenticity? THE HUSTLER , charming but missing self-worth? Or THE ROCK , resilient but missing boundaries? Like sitting with your own therapist, What am I Missing? will help you understand yourself and your loved ones better than ever before, and gives you the keys to a happier life. ‘This book changed my life.
