As a therapist for over 40 years I have seen many people driven to seek professional counseling because they have been disappointed and hurt by people around them. This can result in depression or anxiety as they worry, analyze, and try to improve these disappointing relationships to no avail. These disappointing relationships can be as simple as your neighbor or as complex as a parent who has repeatedly hurt you. Shelves helps you explore the relationships in your life and realistically look at your expectations of those people. It will clarify if that person is truly a 1st shelf, trustworthy person or if they need to be shelved to a less trustworthy shelf in your life. Shelves have helped hundreds of people develop realistic expectations of the people in their life resulting in fewer disappointments, depression and anxiety. I hope you enjoy this book as you determine which Shelf the people in your life occupy.
