‘Happiness – it’s up to you .. easy steps to
self acceptance and good relationships’ 

[Collins Dove/Boolarong Press] is an easy, pithy self help
book which contains Sabine Beecher’s practical,
quick cognitive Self Acceptance Skills Method plus handy
communication and relationship skills.  It is for young people,
for adults and for the children they teach.

Experts have been looking to replace ‘self esteem’ with
‘self acceptance’ and this method does just that.  It exposes
ten everyday thinking mistakes and promptly replaces them
with ten concise correct-thinking skills that are sensible logic
and indisputable facts. 

The Self Acceptance Skills Method corrects wrong thinking at
its root source. It prevents depression, suicide, anxiety,
undue stress, anger and guilt; also problems such as alcohol
and other drug use, body image worries and bullying, that
spring from the ten mistakes. 

Each skill frees up:

• inner security, confidence and resilience
• clear, logical objective thinking, essential for thinking about topics
• independent judgment that is not controlled by peer pressure
• goals and motivation
• calm confident behaviour
• a sense of responsibility
• emotional, mental and social well-being

Easy to teach universally, it is for primary prevention,
early intervention, self help and therapy.

Teaching in Schools
This set of life skills [‘thinkeracy’] are as essential as literacy
and numeracy.  They are best taught as a core subject in primary
school and maintained in the whole school, with staff enjoying
the benefits of less stress as well.

Teaching by Youth Workers, Welfare Organisations, Everyone  
You can teach these vital correct-thinking skills as lessons or by
catching opportunities. They can be fun to teach, especially when
learners enjoy correcting teacher’s mistake!

Testimonials 
The Self Acceptance Skills are very powerful tools and the way they
were taught is very practical.  We shall include these components in all
our youth-centred programs and activities.
Rey Cabungcal, Program Officer YMCA, Sydney Olympic Park Lodge 

I did some training with Sabine Beecher way back in 2000 and have
used her model extensively ever since.  It is rare that the simple model,
or parts of it, has not enabled people to make significant insights and
as a result positive changes in my experience.  The difference between
Self Esteem and Self Acceptance is significant and worth exploring for
sustainable wellbeing.
     In the past I had to adapt the model in her book but now Sabine has
FINALLY developed a programme ready to use with props, handouts
and a powerpoint presentation.
     The programme is designed for anyone to use, not just therapists,
and comes complete with her wonderful book ‘Happiness it’s up to you’.
It is widely tested and so easy to use.
Linda Sharman, Senior Social Worker, Wheatbelt Aboriginal Health Service W.A.

 In a nutshell, I thought the newly written program was excellent. 
Succinct – logical and easy to read.  I’m sure that it will entice lots of
people to be interested in the process.  So well done!
