The Shit Zone

Dr. Thoraiya Kanafani’s first book, The Shit Zone, is about the process of change, its psychological effect on us, and the various aspects of change that make us either resist or move toward it. By challenging the pop psychology viewpoint, her book aims to explore the realistic reasons why change is so difficult for many of us. Using knowledge gained experientially over many years of providing therapy, she brings to light a better understanding of what happens to us during the change process. Her book discusses the various variables of change and the research behind change. It includes case studies that bring a more relatable component to the content. Finally, the book answers questions that might arise for people as they face the changes in their lives.
