Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bestselling author and psychologist Tony Bates has spent his whole career examining and seeking to understand the lives of others. Here, he turns his therapeutic eye on himself and describes the events and people in his own life that have made him the insightful thinker and teacher that he is today. Tony recalls traumatic events in his childhood that reverberated throughout his life for many years and describes how, with therapy and time, he was eventually able to heal those internal wounds. He recounts the stories of people in pain that affected him most deeply and informed both the direction of his work and his philosophy as a psychologist. By interweaving his own life story with reflections on how psychology and society treat people with mental health vulnerabilities, Tony invites us to reflect with compassion on the meaning of emotional struggles in all our lives. 'A searingly honest, lucid and inspiring account of a life, moving from deep childhood trauma to the hard-earned wisdom of a wounded healer. A compelling read and remarkable achievement.' Richard Kearney 'I was moved by Tony's honesty; humbled by his courage; fascinated by the way he used psychology to make sense of his personal suffering; and inspired by the place he has arrived at this point in his life. Beautifully written, poetic in parts, Tony's book is a treasure trove of wisdom. Everyone should read it.' Alan Carr, PHD 'What a generous gift, so typical of Tony, to those who need to know that in their loneliness or depression they are not alone' Dr Mary McAleese 'This is an emotional read in which the psychologist bears their own soul and highlights why they are so skilled at their work' Niall Breslin

Download or read book Conquer Your Fear of Flying written by Maeve Byrne Crangle and published by Gill & Macmillan Ltd. This book was released on 2010-01-08 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fear of Flying? Fear no more! Read this life-changing bestseller and look forward to a positive flying future. Post 9/11 and following events like the MH17 Russian Plane crash and the mystery of 'missing flight MH370' even the most intrepid air-traveller would be forgiven for feeling anxious about flying. But best-selling author, consultant Psychologist and facilitator of the world renowned Fearless Flying Programme Dr Maeve Byrne Crangle reassures us in this life-changing book that although incidents, such as the attacks on the World Trade Centre in 2001, reinforce people's fears of flying we must focus on the fact that millions of flights take off and land safely all the time. Conquer Your Fear of Flying is a positive and empowering guide to help you overcome anxiety and panic attacks when travelling by plane. Based on The Fearless Flying Programme, successfully run by Consultant Psychologist Dr Maeve Byrne Crangle, and now updated with the latest information on security screening and safety procedures at airports, this well-established book examines the many types of anxiety involved with flying and sets out a workable plan to conquer these apprehensions. It offers a programme of self-management, showing the reader how to use proven stress management techniques to cope with and diffuse anxiety and panic before and during flights. Included in this third edition are sections on the power of the mind and the use of affirmations, as well as flight plans, frequently asked questions, and golden rules for fearless flying. For over twenty years Dr Maeve Byrne Crangle ran the Fearless Flying Programmes for Aer Lingus, Ireland's national airline. Over 96% of participants in these programmes now travel more comfortably by air – and enjoy the experience. Air travel remains statistically safer than crossing the road and flying has proved to be twenty-five times safer than driving your own car. Conquer Your Fear of Flying is the book to convince even the most faint-hearted flyers of these facts, and to help them towards a happy and fearless future with air travel.

Download or read book Coming Through Depression written by Tony Bates and published by Gill & Macmillan Ltd. This book was released on 2011-12-16 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While intended primarily as a guide to recovery for anyone who is experiencing depression, this book is also written with the relatives and friends of that person in mind, hoping they can make sense of what can be a difficult experience to grasp from the 'outside'. Understanding the journey through depression by all who are affected can act as a bridge between people who feel isolated by depression and those who care about them. 'This book shows you the practical steps you can take to lift your mood; helps you listen to what depression may be trying to teach you about your life; and gives you a way to be with yourself when you feel most vulnerable. It is possible for any human being to lose their way, but it is equally possible for any human being to find their way. I hope this book supports and strengthens your recovery by showing that you have the inner strength to come through depression.' Tony Bates.

Download or read book Experiencing Menopause with Empowerment and Joy written by Razel Wolf and published by . This book was released on 2021-01-25 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The best kept secret is this: Menopause is a natural phase in a woman's life, not something to be dreaded. Rather, it is something to look forward to as a time when all kinds of new creativity can be born, bringing joy, satisfaction and meaning to our lives. This book explores a shamanic approach, through connection to all the worlds we live with - the humans, the plants, the animals, spirit, and the minerals, to empower the later phase in a woman's life - menopause and beyond. By celebrating menopause as a rite of passage, we discover what is ours to do now. What is a rite of passage? A moment when great change is afoot. The value of such a transformation is increased when it is acknowledged and celebrated as we move from one role or phase in our lives into the next. In many societies such "moments" are well-known and recognized in our various birthing, marriage, and death rites. In this book, we approach menopause as a rite of passage - a transition from one stage of life to another. It can be an empowered phase in a woman's life, a part of our life development that deserves dignity and honor. We focus on the possibilities and fulfillment that can come with menopause. We can all explore menopause as a time of great potential and power within ourselves. We become matriarchs and caretakers for the coming generations, bringing a different kind of joy, satisfaction, and meaning to our lives and the lives of those around us. But it is also the case that many people still fear and resist menopause. It is not uncommon to encounter beliefs that menopause is the end of a woman's productive years, and that her fate now is to grow old, become increasingly unattractive, and no longer have value in her world. A recent study found that less than 20 percent of premenopausal women have even moderate knowledge of the biological changes that may occur to them during menopause. It found that even fewer women carry a positive view of menopause - as a natural process that takes us to the next stage in our lives, granting us new opportunities to take our power and open to newfound joys. Most of the time menopause is still considered a decline that requires remedies to cure it. It is an unfortunate approach to a natural phase of life, which, as you will see, holds so many gifts for us. We both learned about rites of passage through the teachings of the Deer Tribe Metis Medicine Society, or the Deer Tribe for short, an organization that supports a spiritual path that provides teachings, ceremonies and tools for our human quest for growth. We are both long-time students of this path, which combines traditional, spiritual, and modern knowledge about the human being. It carries a rich body of knowledge and ceremonies in rites of passage. Razel is a senior teacher on this path. Karin's focus is counseling and teaching about the rites of passage. This book contains common sense and a shamanic approach to a wonderful, though little understood, phase in a woman's life. All over the world there are organizations and initiatives whose focus is to implement meaningful rites of passage back into our society. We encourage all of you to seek out the knowledge that speaks to you from any source that is valuable for you. We hope you also enjoy this book.
