More From My Conversation With Joanna Grover About Her Book the Choice Point
Joanna Grover’s passion for equestrianism came with a heavy price – a life-changing injury. As she lay awake during her painful recovery, she searched for a way to silence the negative chatter in her mind. Luckily, as a cognitive behavioral therapist, she stumbled upon an unexpected twist in her journey – functional imagery training (FIT). Working with Dr. Jonathan Rhodes, they adapted this technique to help others overcome their negative thought patterns and achieve their goals. In their book, The Choice Point, they share their science-backed method for harnessing the power of imagination to transform lives. Discover how this twist in Joanna’s journey can help you achieve your own personal breakthrough.
