Bold Move is the unique method by psychotherapist Dr. Luana Marques, based on Harvard, that helps you overcome difficulties and create a more confident and meaningful life. Dr. Marques identifies the anxiety at the root of avoidance and shows how you can overcome it and achieve your goals.

After decades of research, teaching, and clinical practice, Dr. Marques realized that the coping techniques she learned from her mother and grandmother while growing up in poverty in Brazil mimic scientific CBT therapy. Now, she has synthesized this knowledge, developing a three-step plan that works for everyone - from teenagers in crisis to executives experiencing burnout.

Bold Move includes specific examples and exercises supported by the latest clinical and scientific research. The three-step plan:

• Helps recognize the thought processes that leave you anxious and worried.
• Suggests the many forms avoidance can take, including seeking comfort from others.
• Explains the importance of being the "advocate of your thoughts."
• Shows why the phrase "just do it" doesn't bring results.
• Outlines strategies to rely on your values, set boundaries, and make room for your dreams.

It constitutes an impactful, transformative program that works for everyone - for professionals and, importantly, for those facing mental health challenges from working communities that have been neglected for a long time.
