DPM shows you how to test those beliefs for authenticity, replace destructive fiction with Authentically Accurate Alternatives, and identify your Minimal Effective Response the smallest real action that brings emotional closure. By the end, you’ll have a concrete process to stop reliving the same chapter and start writing a new one on purpose.
