Turn your anxiety into strength with Harvard-based psychotherapist Dr. Luana Marques’ 3-step method to make the life you want. Her clinically-proven approach, rooted in cognitive behavioral therapy, inspires her clients to break their bad habits and find their own power.
This book is for you if you want to get unstuck and improve your mental health. Dr. Luana pinpoints the anxiety at the root of psychological avoidance and shows you how to overcome it.
Dr. Luana understands anxiety. After decades of research, teaching, and clinical practice, she realized that the coping techniques she learned from her mother and grandmother while growing up in challenging circumstances in Brazil mimicked science-based CBT therapy. Now, she has synthesized that knowledge into a powerful framework for emotion regulation, developing a 3-step path that works for everyone.
Bold Moveincludes concrete examples and exercises backed by the most recent clinical and scientific research. Dr. Luana’s 3-step plan:
- Helps you recognize thinking patterns that leave you feeling tense, anxious, and worried
- Outlines the many forms that avoidance can take
- Explains the importance of being your own “thought lawyer”
- Shows you why “just do it” doesn’t get it done.
