Book Description
There is a gremlin within you. He is the narrator in your head. He tells you who you are, and he defines and interprets your every experience. He wants you to feel bad, and he pursues this loathsome task by means of sophisticated maneuvers: just when you feel you've out-argued or overcome him, he changes his disguise and his strategy. He's the sticky sort -- grapple with him and you become more enmeshed. What he hates is simply being noticed. That's the first step to his taming. If you have a low tolerance for self-help books or they haven't worked for you, here is a more creative yet practical approach to solving life's problems. Through the powerful metaphor of the gremlin, presented so imaginatively by Richard Carson's writing and Novle Rogers's artwork, you will find ways to identify and banish the tenacious, self-defeating aspects of your personality.

Publisher: Exisle Publishing
ISBN: 1775594483
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 215

Book Description
Just like The Beast in the fairy tale Beauty and the Beast, anxiety is an emotion that society initially misjudges as the villain. Your Anxiety Beast and You is a kinder, more compassionate approach for people suffering from anxiety. Rather than living with an enemy inside your mind, you’re encouraged to see anxiety for what it really is—an inner hero. It is always trying to protect you from threats, however, it is completely confused about what are true threats in the modern world. Learn how to cope with your anxiety and train it to be a better inner-companion through integrating therapeutic methods from compassion-focused therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Gain an understanding of why society stigmatises anxiety and gain a better understanding of your own anxiety beast with humour and compassion. Your Anxiety Beast and You takes you through step-by-step strategies to cope with the howling of the beast in your mind, the physical effects of anxiety on your body, and then focuses on ways to come up with ‘teachable moments’ for your anxiety to learn that what you fear is not actually a threat. With over 25 years’ experience helping people with anxiety disorders and OCD, Dr Goodman aims to help you make peace with the reality of your anxiety. And then to help you re-focus on making your anxiety a better companion.

A Path to Healing

Author: Andrea D. Sullivan
Publisher: Doubleday Books
ISBN: 9780385485753
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 310

Book Description
Twenty years ago, at age twenty-nine, Andrea Sullivan was a high-level executive at HUD in a state of what she now calls "dis-ease": stressed out, thirty-pounds overweight, with a face full of acne. Moved by a desire to help her community and herself in a "meaningful way," she quit her job and decided to become a doctor. She applied and was accepted to Bastyr Medical School for Alternative Medicine and became a naturopathic physician. Since then, Dr. Sullivan has been at the vanguard of naturopathic medicine and has helped hundreds of African Americans create dramatic and lasting lifestyle changes. Unlike traditional doctors, naturopathic physicians, with the aid of herbs, roots, and other natural remedies, treat the patient, not the disease. Here, in easy-to-understand language, Dr. Sullivan provides an overview of alternative medicine (paying close attention to naturopathy), discusses the African American tradition and its link to naturopathic medicine, and delves into stress, high blood pressure, arthritis, obesity, depression, and diabetes (all problems that plague African Americans), and prescribes an overall guide to maintaining health and keeping disease at bay. In "A Path to Healing, Dr. Sullivan makes a convincing case for naturopathic medicine as the best way to prevent disease and treat chronic illnesses, while not discounting the use of traditional Western medicine, especially in cases of traumatic injury.

Stan Ferguson, an experienced family therapist and parenting consultant, shares information, techniques, and skills he believes to be essential for parents who want to connect with their children in deep personal ways and to effectively nurture and guide them. Parents are more concerned than ever about their children's safety, emotional well being, and success. Yet parental worry and concern can lead to counterproductive behaviors that produce anxiety in children and diminish their confidence, abilities, and self esteem. What Parents Need to Know About Children focuses on the basic and most important information all parents need to reach their overall goals of happiness and success for their children. Each chapter includes practical information, at least one highlighted story that illustrates and illuminates important concepts, a "Review" section, and a "How to put into Practice" section. This format makes it ideal for individuals, couples, or groups to learn parenting skills. "It is obvious this book was born in Stan's heart. It is very practical and the examples of specific responses he includes will be really helpful to parents. The stories he shares present graphic pictures so that the ideas they illustrate are easily remembered. I hope this book does well because of the lives it will help change." Garry Landreth - Regents Professor, University of North Texas and author of Play Therapy: The Art of the Relationship. "It's a pleasure to endorse this wonderfully practical and entertaining guide for parents. It's reflective of Stan's love for children, his extraordinary wisdom where they are concerned, and his unique gifts as a teacher and counselor. I heartily recommend What Parents Need To Know About Children to everyone who has a child or has ever been one." Richard D. Carson - Author of Taming Your Gremlin: A Guide To Enjoying Yourself
