Why I Wrote Think or Shrink
Throughout more than two decades of working with people from diverse walks of life, I began noticing a pattern. Different people arrived with different stories. Some struggled with anxiety. Others with grief.
Some carried relationship difficulties. Others wrestled with leadership, purpose or identity. Although their circumstances varied considerably, something deeper connected many of their experiences. The stories people told themselves often became more powerful than the events they had actually lived through. Many people had unconsciously accepted beliefs that no longer served them. Some believed they were defined by their past. Others believed they would never be enough. Some had mistaken survival strategies for permanent identities. Others had inherited ways of thinking that quietly limited what they believed was possible. Over time, I realised that genuine transformation rarely begins by changing circumstances alone. It begins by examining the mind interpreting those circumstances. That realisation eventually became Think or Shrink.
