**Intact Gift Giving Condition book**

Or why your actions seem self-defeating or destructive? Have you ever wondered why your brain self-sabotages? This book explores how our brains have evolved to favour survival over mental well-being – creating ‘controlled explosions’ – and provides practical ways to understand, acknowledge and defuse them. Controlled Explosions in Mental Health identifies everyday scenarios in which one may experience self-destructive behaviour such as procrastination or self-criticism.
