Download or read book It s Not My Fault written by Joshua Shifrin and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2018-04-03 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In It's Not My Fault, author Joshua Shifrin helps tennis players make sense of their most monumental losses on the court. The next time a player goes down in defeat, he or she can always explain the woeful loss with "My opponent was a pusher . . . I can't play against pushers." Or after a bad shot, tennis gurus might try to get out of dodge by uttering, "There was a leaf on the court and I couldn't concentrate." Shifrin has crafted 150 funny--but all-too-real--excuses for pros and amateurs alike. Examples include: My opponent's grunting is distracting. My strings are too tight. I have tennis elbow. These tennis balls are too slow. Any many more! Whether you want to motivate your friends or family who have just started playing or eradicate embarrassing mistakes in your own game, It's Not My Fault is a must-read. Complete with laugh-out-loud cartoons, this book makes for the perfect gift.

Download or read book A Primer for Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy EFIT written by Susan M. Johnson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-09-28 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From best-selling author, Susan M. Johnson, with over 1 million books sold worldwide! This essential text from the leading authority on Emotionally Focused Therapy, Susan M. Johnson, and colleague, T. Leanne Campbell, applies the key interventions of EFT to work with individuals, providing an overview and clinical guide to treating clients with depression, anxiety, and traumatic stress. Designed for therapists at all levels of expertise, Johnson and Campbell focus on introducing clinicians to EFIT interventions, techniques, and change processes in a highly accessible and practical format. The book begins by summarizing attachment theory and science – the theoretical basis of this model – together with the experiential approach to change in psychotherapy. Chapters describe the three stages of EFIT, macro-interventions, such as the EFIT Tango, and various micro-interventions through clinical exercises, case studies, and transcripts to demonstrate this model in practice with individuals, highlighting the unique benefits of EFT as a cross-modality approach for treating emotional disorders. With exercises interwoven throughout the text, this book is built to accompany in-person and online training, helping the practicing clinician offer targeted and empirically tested interventions that not only alleviate symptoms of distress but expand the client’s emotional balance, agency, and sense of self. As the next major extension of the EFT approach, this book will appeal to therapists already working with couples and families as well as those just beginning their professional journey. Psychotherapists, psychologists, counselors, social workers, and mental health workers will also find this book invaluable.

Ray Parlour is an Arsenal legend. During his 16-year career he won 3 Premier League titles, 4 FA Cups and the UEFA Cup.

Download or read book Always and Forever Ten Years Later written by James Prince and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2014-04-07 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My ultimate goal with my books, including this one is to open people eyes about the biggest scandal of all times, which is religions. Jesus told his apostles that they have received freely and they have to give freely. If you can name me only one religion that does this, please let me know the sooner the better. When I read the Bible after many years, I found out that Jesus told us the truth and I also found out that someone else told us the exact opposite of Jesus' teaching. I also know that Jesus is the Christ and who ever or what ever contradicts Jesus is Antichrist. If a Jesus' disciple doesn't tell the truth to the world, who will? I also think that the count down has started in the year 33, when the curtain was split in two at the death of the Saviour and it will end two thousand years later. So it is time that all the nations hear what I have to say. See Matthew 24, 14.'And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.' James Prince, a Jesus' disciple.

Book excerpt: Joel McIver's acclaimed Black Sabbath biography, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, concluded in 2011 that its subjects were at a crossroads. Could Ozzy, Tony, Geezer and Bill manage after over 40 years in business to get back together one more time? After all, the veteran heavy metal musicians were grieving for their fallen comrade Ronnie James Dio and about to face a devastating medical diagnosis for one of their own. McIver's brand-new, updated volume brings the story up to date with the tale of Sabbath's near-miraculous return to form with the Rick Rubin-produced 13 album, which topped charts worldwide on its release in 2013. In true Sabbath style, however, nothing went entirely to plan, with internal arguments, last-minute band-member replacements -- and a genuine fear that this may be Sabbath's very last shot at glory.
