Do you ever wonder "Why do I do that?" Why you react, avoid, or shut down in certain situations? This groundbreaking psychology book by Joseph Burgo Ph.D. is a guide to understanding the hidden forces shaping your emotions, behaviors, and relationships.

Written for students, beginners, and anyone curious about psychology, self-help, or emotional healing, this book explains how psychological defense mechanisms like denial, projection, and repression impact your mental health and everyday decisions.

With simple explanations, exercises, and real-life applications, it helps readers explore unconscious patterns and take steps toward emotional freedom.

What you'll gain from this book:

  • A clear understanding of human psychology and how the unconscious mind works.
  • Tools to recognize and manage your own emotions more effectively.
  • Practical exercises for emotional intelligence, healing, and self-discovery.
  • Insights from psychotherapy and emotion-focused therapy without the jargon.
  • Guidance to break free from patterns that damage relationships, confidence, and self-esteem.

Unlike other self-help books or general psychology books, this one blends expert knowledge with accessible self-exploration, making it equally valuable for college students, professionals, and anyone seeking personal growth.

Whether you're interested in abnormal psychology, emotional intelligence, psychotherapy, or simply want a deeper understanding of yourself, Why Do I Do That? is the essential self-help book for mental health, healing, and emotional growth.
