IR VERDICT:
Gael McCool’s mission in BE WISE NOW is to keep people from their “Post-Traumatic Story Disorder” — reliving painful events over and over again, reaching for the pain instead of working on the healing. She provides a “Multi-Dimensional Aspects of the Self” model, breaking the self (and the book) into 15 inter-related aspects. Each chapter contains theory, followed by practical exercises, making it an active workbook rather than just simple text.
