The "self-healing hints" that everyone often searches for do not have an exclusive publication of the same name. Such short sentences are scattered in related works in many fields such as positive psychology, hypnotherapy, mindfulness practice, etc. Most of the various collections circulating on the Internet are excerpted from different books by healing practitioners and psychology enthusiasts, and combined with common scenarios.
Many people will default to Louise Hay's "The Reconstruction of Life" as the corresponding core reference book. This is not unfounded. This book has a special mirror exercise section, which contains hundreds of positive self-statements suitable for different trauma scenarios, such as "I agree with myself." The most widely circulated hints such as "self" and "I deserve all the good things" first came from the practice module of this book. 80% of the content in the compiled version that many people read can be found in this book, so many popular science contents will directly bind the two.
However, this statement has always been controversial. Most practitioners in the field of clinical psychology do not agree with this binding. They feel that "Reconstruction of Life" is biased towards the field of public self-help and spiritual healing, and the hints in it are more like chicken soup expressions of empowerment. It is not the same as the "corrective self-statement" used in clinical psychological intervention. The latter is customized based on the specific cognitive bias of the client. There is no universal template and there is no fixed reference book.
I once met a girl who had just left her job. She saved half a notebook of self-healing cues and searched for the so-called "original book" for more than half a year. Later I found out that the "I don't need to define myself by the value of my work" and "all pauses are to leave room for energy accumulation" that she copied were half from "Rebuilding Life" and the other half were taken and modified by bloggers from "The Courage to Be Disliked" and "The Healing Power of Mindfulness". They couldn't even make up an "original book".
In fact, there is no need to worry about which book these hints come from. I have been doing self-help therapy for almost 6 years. I have seen many people read the standard sentences in the book a hundred times to no avail. Instead, they casually made up "It will be great if I can get up and eat breakfast today" and posted it on the refrigerator, which actually helped them survive the most difficult period of depression. After all, the core of suggestive language is to fit your true emotions at the moment. If you copy sentences written by others or even from so-called authoritative books, it may become a new self-kidnapping and deviate from the original intention of self-healing.
