I just picked up this book recently in the hopes of achieving an outcome like you have, nearly finished with it. I'm also going through a self-guided therapy of DBT, which seems to go hand-in-hand with Learned Optimism (although I haven't seen anyone else make an explicit connection yet).
- haswell 4y agoI haven't tried DBT, but I have had very good success with talk therapy/CBT with a trauma-aware therapist. I realized that much of what I had been working on in therapy was covered by the book, but the book revealed some areas where I was still on the very side of pessimistic, and I'm now taking more active steps to address those areas. Wishing you the best on your journey.
