It’s a compassionate method that encourages you to put intentions to action so this is neither a thoughtless “just do it” mantra nor an endless wallowing in negative emotions

At first glance such selectivity and focus are wise and prudent but on the other side of the coin my side that craves freedom feels stifled and perpetually dissatisfied

There is the cognitive flexibility approach from cbt where you think of alternative perspectives so that your mind is not stuck on the worst possible scenario

For instance a person may reject all other ways of thinking about something whether it’s because they feel attacked criticized or dismissed by the therapist or because they just don’t buy alternative perspectives

Alternatively another person may feel uncomfortable or uninterested in going that deep into their emotions for whatever reason

The important thing is to be flexible and not force a method if it is clearly not working for the person

Also i want to note that though i find psychology and therapy books engaging in general i find the happiness trap even more compelling than the average therapy book

Maybe it’s the author’s writing style
