Extreme Imagination - Kyla Borcherds
- A Guide to Overcoming Maladaptive Daydreaming
Is your imagination the most powerful force you have ever encountered?
Do you have stories in your head that are more exciting and compelling than reality could ever be?
Are your deepest and most authentic relationships with people who don't exist?
If so, you may have a trait called immersive daydreaming. But if the epic movie that's playing in your mind is getting in the way of real life, and you're finding it difficult to work or study or connect with people, then your harmless immersive daydreaming may have turned into destructive maladaptive daydreaming.
In this book, Kyla Borcherds explains how and why the stories in your head have grown into a damaging addiction that's now holding you back in different aspects of your life. She walks you through the four-step plan that she used to overcome her own maladaptive daydreaming and shows you how to use your talent for immersive daydreaming to tap into an unlimited source of inspiration and motivation that can transform your life.
Extreme Imagination is the most comprehensive guide to overcoming maladaptive daydreaming published to date. This book offers understanding, validation, hope and actionable steps that will enable you to turn your imagination from a dangerous distraction into your greatest gift.
Drawing from personal experience and extensive research literature reviews, the author offers a unique blend of validation, insight, and practical strategies for those grappling with the challenges of excessive daydreaming. This book demystifies maladaptive daydreaming and provides a roadmap for transforming it from a potential prison into a powerful tool for self-discovery and growth. It's an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the complex interplay between imagination, coping mechanisms, and mental health in our modern world. - Professor Eli Somer, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus, University of Haifa, Israel
"Extreme Imagination is exactly what is needed for those with maladaptive daydreaming who want to take back control of their life. It's the first and only book of its kind and it will be a game changer for the maladaptive daydreaming community." - Jayne Bigelsen - Maladaptive Daydreaming Advocate and author of The Atlantic article "When Daydreaming Replaces Real Life".
