Perfect

A short, very practical audible. The strategies can be used anytime, anywhere for free. I've listened to quite a few audibles on mental health, but this one nailed it.

A good start.

This audiobook tells you what the problems are but it won’t go over the details of offering real insights into how to fix these problems.

Steps to take action.

I have been disgusted with exposure therapy and ready to give up. This audible encouraged me to keep up the fight.
