Life Only Goes Forward

When it’s time to leave your inner child alone and take off

A happier life without psycho-hype
“You can only be happy if you spend enough time dealing with your psyche!” is a widespread assumption. The renowned schema therapist Gitta Jacob disagrees. It is good and important for people to understand their behavioral patterns, injuries, and difficult feelings. In the long term, however, introspection can prevent people from taking responsibility for their own actions. In her new book, Jacob identifies the limits of psychotherapy and the dangers that can arise from constantly circling around the inner child. With many concrete challenges, the psychologist vividly shows what it really takes to master decisions, mood swings, and problems with confidence.

“At some point, enough analysis is enough! This book gives your inner child a nudge and encourages it to take a chance on life. An important book at a time when everyday psychologizing can drift so far afield that you lose sight of your direction.” Felizitas Ambauen, psychotherapist, author and podcaster
