The pandemic confined you to your home, and now you have emerged, blinking into the daylight of hope. But to what extent has your mind kept you trapped within a prison of your own creation?

We have always constructed labyrinthian prisons of fears and assumptions, but the evolution of technology has taken us further from the wisdom and natural rhythms that we can find within. The less aware you are of your internal (mental) state, the more you become a prisoner of it, and this blindness can lead to challenges to your mental health, your ability to parent, and it can even threaten your career. Learning how to free your mind from an internal prison should be a high priority.

However, Beyond Your Confines is not just an exercise in individual growth. Your mind does not exist in a vacuum. We live in a world of polarized views, discrimination, and privilege, and so no mind can be free without an assessment of the part we play in all of this. We are, after all, as interconnected to each other as we are to the environment we pollute.

Written by psychotherapist and author Chris Warren-Dickins, Beyond Your Confines helps you find the key to free your imprisoned mind and discover your wisdom and natural rhythms from without and from within.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"This book is not only timely but critical reading for anyone looking for greater understanding of themselves and the unique and challenging times we are in. Chris's keen insights and focus on interconnectivity have provided a basis to begin healing through our own well-being and healthier relationships. This is indeed a roadmap to freedom."
- Dr Pamela Brodie

"If anyone still feels trapped since the pandemic began, Beyond Your Confines is certainly a key to free your mind. Chris Warren-Dickins adopts a novel approach to challenges to our mental health, and threads together the most pressing societal issues of our time.
But don't just read Beyond Your Confines. As Chris encourages their readers to do, use this book to strike up a dialogue with others about how we can use our inner resources and wisdom to heal ourselves, each other, and the planet that we are living in. Reach Beyond Your Confines today."
- Monty Moncrieff MBE

"Beyond Your Confines is exactly the book we need in this current climate of polarization. Psychotherapist Chris Warren-Dickins explains how our need for certainty, and our belief that we are right, can imprison us in a life of eternal limitations. If we are to realize true mental health, we need to reach beyond this prison of our own construction."
- Graeme Smith

"A deeply insightful book reflecting on our shared experience of the pandemic and the myriad ways it has exacerbated stress, depression, anxiety, burnout and more.
Understand the thought distortions and distracted behaviors that keep you trapped; give yourself a greater awareness and acceptance of your emotional state and the underlying past and current traumas that have brought you here; and most importantly learn the tools to break free of them. Lean into and ride the waves."
- Dr Katrina Munteanu

"This is one of the better mental health books I've read in a while. Chris Warren-Dickins seems like a great therapist, and he was able to pack a ton in this short book, and I think it'd be hard to find anyone who wouldn't benefit from this book...
I think one of the best aspects of this book is that the author discusses how wealth disparities, being a minority and other difficult life circumstances can affect our mental health differently. He also discusses how it's important to recognize one's privilege and how it'll make your circumstances differ from others. It's a fantastic book all around, and I definitely recommend it."
- Chris Boutté

A useful manual of the mind for anyone who experienced lockdown during the pandemic and / or suffered from any sort of anxiety, stress and tension during the pandemic, or during a period of isolation/confinement; also for anyone generally curious about the mind - practitioners and lay people alike.

The writer includes relatable anecdotes and some personal stories to exemplify relevant and simply explained analyses of the mind, and it’s potential traps. The book also helps the reader better understand the mind’s responses and reactions to the stresses and trauma of lockdown(s)through explanation of the body’s nervous system and neural responses, and their influence on our perception of the world.
