The Art of Struggle Reduction Tom Diffenderfer

Peace is a natural state, and when the mind is settled, peace exists. So what causes the mind to become unsettled? Many forms of negative thinking and self-talk, irrational thoughts, worry, fear, obsessive guilt and shame, envy and jealously-simply put, it is our own internal struggle that kidnaps our minds from the awareness of peace. So the question is not how does one find peace, but instead how does one reduce struggle. Tom Diffenderfer is a Licensed Alcohol and drug abuse counselor (LADAC). He has been helping individuals and families recover from addiction and co-occurring anxiety problems for over 20 years. In this workbook he outlines his unique plan for moving through life with minimal struggle. Tom lays out various simple strategies for reducing anxiety and living in peace.
