Read Feeling-Intention Therapy to Discover—

FIT Incorporates REBT & CBT to Go Beyond Both Master Your Intentions & Feelings Master Your thoughts & Responses 17 Diagrams & 8 Tables Make It Easy Master Your Heart & Mind New Comprehensive Therapy System

This book presents the most comprehensive model available for understanding human feelings, intentions, thoughts, and responses. This book presents a new therapeutic system to advance the counseling profession. However, anyone familiar with Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) or Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) will find it comparatively easy to understand because FIT subsumes and builds upon those two models. We have made this book accessible for professional practitioners and those seeking personal improvement, self-help, and self-knowledge. Do you dare face your inner demons? Do you intend to overcome your inner demons? Then this book is for you. Do you dare to prioritize the intention to be awake, aware, and alive? Then this book is for you. Want to Finally Map and Understand Your Mind?

Are you consumed by a desire to fully understand the workings of your mind? Then this book is for you. This book will help you to discover a revolutionary psychological approach for both self-help and professional help. 5 or 12 Factors Controlling Human Responses

Feeling-Intention Therapy (FIT) will teach you the twelve main factors controlling, influencing, and motivating human behavior. However, you only need to focus on five to make your life better. When you know and understand why you do what you do, you will also learn why other people do what they do. When you understand why you did what you did, you can more effectively and efficiently improve what you do next time. When you know how to change the factors controlling your behavior, you can help others change their behavior by teaching them to change the same factors. When others see you living a centered and meaningful life, then they will want what you have. Advanced & Exhaustive Psychology

Psychology has never been so complete or as clear and precise as it is in Feeling-Intention Therapy (FIT) because the order of psychological events is fully delineated. While being a major advance in psychological understanding and application, FIT does not claim to work on biological or sociological issues except insofar as they are secondary issues and side effects of what FIT does address. However, FIT is more than willing to work using a team approach wherein a group of professionals work together when helping a client, each one focusing on a different issue, communicating with and assisting each other as needed. FIT provides the map.

About the author

Be it as a person's counselor or as a founding member of facilities for the homeless, Kevin Everett FitzMaurice, M.S., NCC, CCMHC, LPC, seeks to make others' lives better by helping others improve how they function. As a volunteer, he supports community services to improve others' living conditions. As a counselor, he "counsels" in the traditional sense: advising, directing, and nudging--or pushing--others into facing and resolving their issues.
Mr. FitzMaurice has a variety of formal and advanced training in counseling, which includes Addictions Counseling, Family Therapy, advanced Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), Transactional Analysis (TA), and over 1300 hours of diverse training for continuing education units (CEUs). To make the best use of that extensive training, he takes an integrative approach, grounding himself in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and using the other theories to build upon that one core theory, rather than focusing on multiple theories and mastering none of them.
After more than twenty years in counseling, Mr. FitzMaurice has worked four years in the substance abuse field, directed two community mental health programs, and spent fourteen years counseling in private practice. In that time, he has refined many principles for and methods of counseling. He now puts those principles and methods into book form to share them with a wider audience, so more people can benefit than he can reach in person. Currently, he has more than twenty books written, most of which are available worldwide as e-books from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Sony, Google, Kobo, and Apple.
The philosophical odyssey of Mr. FitzMaurice began in the late '60s. It has remained a mostly self-taught pursuit, with little formal training or education in philosophy. The odyssey started with Western philosophy and a study of pragmatism and atheism. For example, he read every work of Nietzsche that had been translated into English at that time. From there, he moved to the study of Zen, Buddhism, Hinduism, and a misguided experimentation with psychedelics to achieve states of superconsciousness. He continued into Eastern philosophy, pursuing Taoism and J. Krishnamurti. Next came a study of Christianity that started with seven readings of the Old Testament and nine readings of the New Testament from cover to cover, followed by a formal study of Western psychology. The ongoing influences for FitzMaurice's thinking continue to be Christianity, General Semantics, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and an Eastern combination of J. Krishnamurti, Taoism, and Zen.
