The Maxx METHOD: How to Love Yourself and Become Who You Are Meant to Be

We decided to do an at home stay-cation this summer due to the current Covid situation. This was fine by me as I love immersing myself and getting lost in books when on vacation. Normally I choose historical fiction, but this year, I’ve been working ME. In doing so, I’ve revisited many oldies but goodies on my self-help shelf.I came across the MaxxMethod while doing some searches on Amazon on self-compassion. I took a chance, ordered it, and honestly, was delighted with the content!I liked that the author started each chapter with bullet points of what “you will learn”. She ends each chapter with a bulleted recap. I like that it’s easy to find your key points instead of skimming the pages again to backtrack.Each chapter contains several thought provoking exercises that really make you think. I sat outside each day with my separate journal doing her exercises and I found I just wanted to keep writing! Discovered a few things about myself in the process too.I’ve seen therapists over the years for various reasons, mainly trying to understand my past (who isn’t) and how it’s shaped who I am today. One therapist was always trying to have me drudge up the past and relive a lot of traumatic things. Her goal was to have me “re-process” them over and over until I felt nothing when discussing them. After awhile, I found myself leaving her office depressed! I even debated skipping our weekly sessions because I was tired of rehashing the past in what I felt was a negative way.I wish I had this workbook a few years ago...it would’ve saved me a lot of time. I did in one long weekend with the MaxxMethod what I did in over two years of traditional cognitive therapy.MaxxMethod puts the focus on ME and what I can control. It has a positive tone, reads well, and I felt like the author was talking with me, as in a personal conversation. Not like some therapeutic books where I don’t understand what I read, or the author is talking over me.So glad I found this little gem and took the ME time to do the work. Highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to improve their opinion of themselves, stop judging themselves, and learn that its “ok” to like and love yourself.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida and stumbled across Christy's book, The Maxx Method. Because I'm always looking for resources to give my clients in private practice, I found the information easy to teach. I'm a trauma specialist and often when people have bad things happen, they lose self control and their thought processes become focused on the pain and consequences. With this book, I am able to help my clients with worksheets and exercises to navigate through trauma responses and aid them in healing and acceptance.Thank you Christy....Stephanie Billman, LMHC

There is something to learn on each page. It teaches you what mindfulness is in a way that’s actually helpful. There is so much information about emotions and negative core beliefs and how to have self-compassion. If you have an inner critic and feel like you’re never good enough, this book is for you. Why aren’t we learning this stuff? I didn’t even learn half of it in therapy when I went. Worthy every penny!

This book is great! Very helpful and good techniques on how to love yourself. It definitely helped me realize things I hadn’t even thought of before. I also see a therapist so I highlighted things I wanted to talk to her about so I could dig even deeper.

This workbook is packed with intense exercises. It's not something you read in one sitting. I do a few pages at a time and let all the powerful info sink in.

Just received my books I’m so excited !!! I ordered one for myself , my daughters and granddaughters.. we all need to learn self love 💕 just started the book so far I’m very pleased. I will give another review once I’m done reading and learning.

I ordered 3 and they other two readers could not say enough positive and how encouraged they are to make changes in their life .

So much great info in this book. I love the exercises too!! 💛💛💛
