This book suggests a new approach to discovering the origins of therapeutic problems, and outlines a step-by-step process to helping a client change their unwanted feelings, modify their problematic behaviours, and achieve their desired goals. Dr Ruth Livingstone, Retired GP

Occasionally, a book arises out of profound insight. Relearning Experience is one such. Early in the text we are teased with the audacious idea that the best therapy for a person's problem might be if the problem never occurred in the first place - that if the original experience were a more helpful one, then the therapeutic problem wouldn't exist.  Although introduced in a tongue-in-cheek way, this notion is later revealed as a profound base concept. By daring to reframe therapy in this way, and by embracing the powerful role that imagination plays in shaping experience, Jonathan has developed a faster, more effective, and less agonizing approach that will enable competent practitioners to help more people heal their therapeutic problems, quickly and permanently. I have long believed that the true masters of talking therapies are those that deeply understand first principles, and work from them, constantly improving and developing their practice as their insight expands. In this new work, the author not only demonstrates the depth and breadth of his insight but reveals how first principles sit at the core of outstanding professional practice. Taking the form of an extended interview the writing style takes a bit of getting used to. But it's delivered in a clear, skilful and clever manner, and affords the reader the benefit of learning from the positions of both observer and critic as the 'Mentor' reveals his thinking and practice. Soon, you find yourself imagining being in the room as the conversation is taking place. As the pages advance, so does the reader's engagement and insight - proving that Jonathan is as masterful a writer as he is a therapist. This is a thoroughly important new book for those working in the therapeutic space, not only introducing a groundbreaking new approach, but providing a useful refresh of what truly professional therapeutic practice should look like. Paul Crittenden, Life & Leadership Coach, Mentor & Therapist
