Is the Self Acceptance Skills Method the same as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy?

The cognitive Self Acceptance Skills Method is unique -

• It zeroes in on the root source of common everyday thinking errors and shows how to avoid them before they can grow into self-destructive beliefs that require therapy
• It replaces 'self esteem' and its hazards with 'self acceptance' and inner security. The present-day professional swing over to self acceptance sees Sabine's tested Self Acceptance Skills Method here and available
• It consists of nine definite, practical, logical self acceptance skills that avert
  stressful feelings [anger, jealousy, guilt], and
  hazards [anxiety, worthlessness, depression and suicide, eating disorders]
  
• The simple and astonishingly powerful life skills release strength and resilience, sound judgment and responsible behaviour
• It is the basis for mental and emotional well-being
• It can be taught en masse - to large groups, a class, the whole school, and is ideal for primary prevention and for early intervention
• It is easy to read up in Happiness - It's Up To You
• " It is the basis for the caring couple technique of 'constructive arguing' in the book that tells how to absorb differences and stay close and loving over the years.

Does negative thinking come from upbringing?

With the Self Acceptance Skills Method it doesn't matter where negative thinking comes from! What matters is knowing exactly what to do. Most of us have to learn the logical, sensible steps that bring happiness.

Aren't the Self Acceptance Skills too simple?

As Edward de Bono says, 'Very simple is very powerful'. These simple, practical skills are very powerful and very self-empowering. Try for yourself!
