Hi all, it's 2 minute review time!
How to Survive is a great book by John Hudson, the top survival trainer in the British Forces. His role is to train other survival trainers and the way the book's written comes across in a friendly and clearly very informed way.
He explores how key survival skills generalise from extreme environments into everyday life.
His central model, refined through experience and reflected upon via numerous real-life stories of survival successes and failures throughout the book, boils down to three components (see below).
This is a concise model of factors contributing to survival success and how they play out over time.
Overall, I found this a great addition to this literature. Unsurprisingly, the model John describes fits beautifully with our ethos here at FCMA.
Our workshops aim to draw on the effort and work involved in managing therapy conflicts with compassionate hopefulness for resolution with our plan for this based on the burgeoning evidence base on psychotherapy process.
Look out for mention of this work at our next workshop and, in the meantime, stay well, stick to your plan for compassionate development and stay fierce!
