Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A compassionate, shame-free guide for your darkest days “A one-of-a-kind book . . . to read for yourself or give to a struggling friend or loved one without the fear that depression and suicidal thoughts will be minimized, medicalized or over-spiritualized.”—Kay Warren, cofounder of Saddleback Church What happens when loving Jesus doesn’t cure you of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church. Pairing her own story with scriptural insights, mental health research, and simple practices, Sarah helps you reconnect with the God who is present in our deepest anguish and discover that you are worth everything it takes to get better. Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.

This fully revised edition features an innovative application of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to self-esteem, and utilizes updated cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help you create positive change and thrive. Circumstances and status can affect self-esteem—many factors can contribute to the way we see ourselves—but the one contributing factor that all people who struggle with low self-esteem have in common is our thoughts. Of course we all have a better chance of feeling good about ourselves when things are going well, but it’s really our interpretation of our circumstances that can cause trouble, regardless of what they are. This revised and updated fourth edition of the best-selling Self-Esteem uses proven-effective methods of CBT and relevant components of ACT to help you raise low self-esteem by working on the way you interpret your life. You’ll learn how to differentiate between healthy and unhealthy self-esteem, how to uncover and analyze negative self-statements, and how to create new, more objective and positive self-statements to support your self-esteem rather than undermine it. And with cutting-edge material on defusion and values, you’ll learn to let go of judgmental, self-attacking thoughts and act in accordance with what matters to you most, enhancing your sense of self-worth. If you struggle with low or unhealthy self-esteem, this new edition of Self-Esteem, packed with evidence-based tips and techniques, has everything you need to improve the way you see yourself for better overall well-being.

Download or read book Self Esteem written by Matthew McKay and published by ReadHowYouWant.com. This book was released on 2009-09-17 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Self-esteem is essential for psychological survival. It is an emotional sine qua non - without some measure of self-worth, life can be enormously painful, with many basic needs going unmet. One of the main factors differentiating humans from other animals is the awareness of self: the ability to form an identity and then attach a value to it. In other words, you have the capacity to define who you are and then decide if you like that identity or not. The problem of self-esteem is this human capacity for judgment. It's one thing to dislike certain colors, noises, shapes, or sensations. But when you reject parts of yourself, you greatly damage the psychological structures that literally keep you alive. Judging and rejecting yourself causes enormous pain. And in the same way that you would favor and protect a physical wound, you find yourself avoiding anything that might aggravate the pain of self-rejection in any way. You take fewer social, academic, or career risks. You make it more difficult for yourself to meet people, interview for a job, or push hard for something where you might not succeed. You limit your ability to open yourself with others, express your sexuality, be the center of attention, hear criticism, ask for help, or solve problems....This book is about stopping the judgments. It's about healing the old wounds of hurt and self-rejection. How you perceive and feel about yourself can change. And when those perceptions and feelings change, the ripple effect will touch every part of your life with a gradually expanding sense of freedom. ---- Self-Esteem.

Download or read book Inevitable written by Kristen Granata and published by . This book was released on 2020-04-03 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Inevitable is a modern-day take on Romeo & Juliet with a much more satisfying ending." The job was clear: Get in, get what I need, and get out. It should've been easy. It could've been effortless. I wasn't supposed to fall in love with the enemy's daughter. Long raven hair and dark mischievous eyes drew me in. Her feisty attitude and caring heart kept me there. Her pain called out to mine and our souls entwined. Now I'm in so deep, I don't know which way is up. If my father finds out, we'll be next on his list. I'll do anything in my power to protect her, but how can I keep her safe when I'm the one I need to keep her safe from? Eva doesn't know it yet, but she's playing the part of Juliet in this twisted tragedy. And our final act is inevitable. REVIEW "This was an absolute 5 star read, I had it in my hands every chance I could get. The story was written beautifully, and we really got inside of the characters heads." -- Caroline O'Sullivan, ARC Recipient "Amazing chemistry between the main characters, secrets and twists, an actual strong female main character, and a very good amount of steam." -- Themreadsbooks "A real, sweet, intense and passionate story that catches you from the first pages." -- Stela Sparrowinlove, ARC Recipient "Badass heroine- check. Hottie hero- check. Off the charts chemistry- check. Forbidden romance- check. Angst- check. Suspense- check. Kristen has outdone herself. This book was killer!!" -- SJ Sylvis, Author "A great read for those who love a darker, edgier romance with lots of action... and a kick ass heroine!" -- Nikki J Summers, Author "Inevitable is a take on Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet and Kristen did a great job of filling in those shoes. In previous renditions Juliet isn't as forward and ballsy as Kristen's "Juliet" (aka Eva). Kristen's version is my kind of heroine." -- Colleen Young, Author "The ones we love we hurt the most, and in this angsty retake on Romeo and Juliet it's more true than ever. Betrayal is everywhere and no one is left unharmed. Oh holy hotness, You don't want to miss this gem!" -- Sonja Ton, ARC Recipient
