Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Full of evidence-based, easy to understand information about CHD, Healing Hearts and Minds offers strategies for learning to thrive despite living with this condition, but most importantly it will offer hope and connection. Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) is the most commonly diagnosed birth abnormality in the US. With great advances in surgery and medicine, however, survival rates have improved by 75% since the 1940s. Welcome news, of course, as only a few decades ago these birth defects were considered a death sentence, but as with any chronic condition, survival does not mean the issue is cured. With better medical care, babies born today with CHD have a good chance of surviving, but throughout their entire lives they can face surgeries, invasive treatments, lifelong monitoring, frequent medical check-ups, and significant limitations on physical activity, in addition to poor public awareness which can have an impact on social inclusion and understanding. Much attention has rightly been focused on the medical needs of these children and on providing their parents and caretakers with resources and information to navigate the complexities of this chronic condition. Little attention, however, has been paid to the psychosocial impacts on these individuals, especially as they grow, mature, and become adults living with a serious, chronic medical condition. Prevalence rates for anxiety, depression, and PTSD are significantly higher (2-3x in some cases) for people living with CHD than the general adult population. From feeling self-conscious about scars and limitations on physical activity and sense of loss around so many of life's little normalcies, to frequent hospital visits and living in constant fear of an emergency, this condition is ever-present. Liza Morton and Tracy Livecchi are both mental health professionals who have developed a specialty in working with clients who have chronic medical conditions, and they are both themselves living with CHD. In this book they set out to provide the resources and support they have been looking for their entire adult lives. While their powerful personal stories are woven into the narrative, the book is focused on providing evidence-based coping and self-care skills for adults living with CHD.

Book excerpt: "Healing Hearts and Minds: A Biblical Perspective on Mental Health" In a world where mental health is of increasing concern, this compelling book delves into the profound intersection of faith and emotional well-being. Drawing from the rich teachings of the Bible, it explores the enduring message that every individual is a precious creation of God, and their physical and mental well-being are deeply interconnected. Through the lens of Scripture, this enlightening work uncovers instances where even the closest to God faced mental and emotional struggles. From the poignant expressions of King David in the book of Psalms to the profound suffering endured by Job, these stories serve as a reminder that mental health challenges are part of the human experience, regardless of one's faith. More importantly, this book highlights that facing mental health challenges is not a sign of weakness or a lack of faith. Instead, it is an opportunity to draw nearer to Christ. The Christian faith provides a wellspring of strength and comfort during moments of despair, while encouraging individuals to seek help and support from fellow believers and professionals when necessary. Woven throughout are the timeless passages of the Bible that emphasize God's love, compassion, and grace. These truths serve as a well of solace during difficult times. For example, the book explores the comforting invitation extended by Jesus in Matthew 11:28-30, beckoning all who are weary and burdened to find rest in Him. It underscores the idea that seeking help for mental health challenges is not only compatible with the Christian journey but also a reflection of wisdom. Furthermore, the concept of community within the Church is celebrated as vital for mental health. The book draws from Galatians 6:2, which teaches believers to "carry each other's burdens." It underscores the importance of offering support to those facing mental health struggles and reinforces the idea that as a united body of Christ, no one is alone in their journey. In conclusion, "Healing Hearts and Minds" illuminates the urgent need to address mental health from a faith-based perspective. It weaves together the teachings of the Christian faith with the realities of emotional well-being, offering a comprehensive guide for individuals seeking solace and support. As a community of believers, let us embrace the wisdom within these pages, uplift one another, and create an environment where open discussion and assistance for men

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever felt that you were more sensitive than you wanted to be?Has anyone ever hurt your feelings, lied or broke a promise to you?Does the concept of "heart wounds" resonate with you on any level?Have you ever felt that things just don't work out for you the way they seem to for most other people? Do you feel that life has burdened you with obstacles you can't overcome?Does this statement make sense to you? " You can't get better with the same mind that got you sick " We need new knowledge and new thoughts in order to be healed Imagine if you could learn how to eliminate things and thoughts that seemed to be blocking you from achieving a state of Happiness. Dr. Jeffrey Gurian shares in his book " Healing Your Heart, By Changing Your Mind- A Spiritual and Humorous Approach To Achieving Happiness" how he has learned through his own personal experience and through many years of study, to overcome all of the above and more. Burdened with a severe stutter well into his 20's and beyond, seemingly unable to be helped by therapy, combined with the often overwhelming confusion of A.D.D. and a bit of O.C.D. thrown into the mix, he was faced with having to deal with that burden for the rest of his life. His low self-esteem and low confidence level told him he would never have the things that other people had. He engaged in negative thinking. He felt he would never marry, have children, have a successful career or even something as simple as having his own apartment. Being "Graced" with the knowledge that there was really nothing wrong with him, he worked on basically "taking his mind apart," and examining all of his thoughts to see which of his thoughts were not valid, so he could replace them with positive thoughts" that would work for him and not against him. He used this technique to heal himself and go on to achieve all the things he feared he would never have, along the way becoming a husband, father and homeowner. He also became a Cosmetic Dentist, a Clinical Prof. at a major New York university in the Oral Medicine/Oro-Facial Pain Department, a lecturer, a comedy writer for famous stars, a comedian, an author, a radio and television personality, and a Healer. It's this journey and how he did it that he wants to share with you The Spiritual approach, which is explained fully in the book, is that if something can work for one person it can work for every person because inherently we are all the same. We all have the same 46 chromosomes, the same brain and body parts and therefore are all capable of achieving great things in our lives. There is an abundance available in The Universe and we are all welcome to share in it. And being one of the only doctors with a longtime successful career in comedy has given him a very unique perspective, allowing him to teach you how to be "silly" and incorporate humor into your life.Understanding things like "you can't change your past, the only thing you can change is your perspective of your past, ... thereby changing your future" is key to getting the most out of this book. In this book you will learn: -How to over come the fear that's stopping you from accomplishing your goals. -How to release the 'heart wounds" that affect every decision you make.-How to create your own "Happiness Center."-How to examine your own thoughts to discover which ones are not valid.-How to reprogram your mind and create positive thoughts through the use of affirmations.-How to incorporate ancient Spiritual wisdom into your life in order to stay centered through hard times.-How to change your cellular memory with "Verbalization"-How to stay connected to your "inner child" This book was written in hopes of helping each person who reads it learn to achieve a state of Happiness.
