know that emotional problems are best helped with evidence-based therapies.
These are the treatments derived from scientific research (randomized
controlled trials) that show what works. Whether these treatments are
delivered by trained clinicians or found in a self-help book, they are designed
to provide you with proven strategies to overcome your problem.
Therapies that aren’t evidence-based—whether offered by clinicians or in
books—are much less likely to help. In fact, therapies that aren’t guided
by science may not help you at all. That’s why this New Harbinger book is
based on scientific evidence that the treatment can relieve emotional pain.
This is important: if this book isn’t enough, and you need the help of a skilled
therapist, use the following resources to find a clinician trained in the evidence-
based protocols appropriate for your problem. And if you need more support—
a community that understands what you’re going through and can show you
ways to cope—resources for that are provided below, as well.
Real help is available for the problems you have been struggling with.
The skills you can learn from evidence-based therapies will change
your life.
