Description


The completely updated edition of this classic includes powerful methods for freeing oneself from self-defeating behaviors and beliefs

Your gremlin interprets your every experience. He has nothing good to say about you or anything you do. Just when you feel you’ve out-argued him, he changes his strategy. Grapple with him and you become more enmeshed. What he hates is simply being noticed. That’s the first step to his taming. This and many other powerful techniques await you.

This is a low-key but tremendously effective approach to banishing the tenacious nemesis within. Readers will learn:

  • How simply noticing their gremlin is the first step in gremlin taming.
  • How to experiment playfully with new actions and attitudes.
  • Simple exercises for tuning in to their true self and tuning out their gremlin…and much more.

Praise For…


"I have found 'Gremlin-Taming' to be a unique, imaginative, and effective tool on my path of deep healing. It has helped me dump some of the baggage which hindered my life so unnecessarily. It is also fun. . . . I highly recommend it!" — Joan Baez

"Rick Carson is a genius at exploring our inner conflicts in novel ways—I almost said fun ways. If you would like to engage in a form of self-exploration that is upbeat and that retains a sense of humor, unlike most of the depressively morbid forms of psychotherapy, this is your book. And there's a bonus: it works." — Larry Dossey, MD, Executive Editor, Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine, and author of Healing Beyond the Body, Reinventing Medicine, and Healing Words

"I loved Taming Your Gremlin®. . . . The imagery of this book led me to a very profound awareness—a new form of the fable the 'Emperor's New Clothes.'" — Virginia M. Satir, author of Peoplemaking and Conjoint Family Therapy, about the first edition
