Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the wake of a devastated relationship.... Using engaging client stories, The Toxic Relationship Cure reveals how little known natural medicines can relieve mental, emotional and physical damage from toxic and unhealthy relationships. The Toxic Relationship Cure is meant for victims of these toxic relationships as well as mental health professionals. Often frustrated by clients' stubbornly self-destructive behaviors, mental health clinicians will find new hope in these pages. The toxic relationships include Boss, Parent, Lover, Friend, and the Spiritual Beyond (dysfunctional relationships with God, spirit, or a deceased individual). The vignettes based on actual cured cases render memorable portraits of each natural medicine type. The description of each homeopathic medicine includes physical symptoms it is likely to cure. These natural medicines are widely used in Europe and have many advantages over conventional psychopharmacology medications: They are non-addictive and non-toxic. The have side benefits instead of side effects: clients report improvement in apparently-unrelated physical ailments as well as in overall energy and quality of sleep. Their use is supported by research including a study by the Swiss government concluding that these medicines are as effective as conventional medicines yet less expensive. The average cost is less than a penny per day. Instead of "you'' be on this drug for the rest of your life," their effect tends to be curative within months. The Toxic Relationship Cure is engaging to read and empowering to implement, with guidance for both clients and professionals."

Are you nervous and worried? Can't you express yourself freely with your partner? These are all common symptoms of someone trapped in a toxic relationship.Love is the most addictive feeling of all. Some more, some less, we are all dependent on the attention, gestures, and small things that the person we love gives us. For this reason, in every respectable relationship, relying on the partner and sharing moments of joy and pain with him are the necessary conditions to build a solid relationship Yet it often happens that we have the perception that we always dedicate our time and only to the partner. At the unconscious level, we are convinced that the love we feel for him is directly proportional to how much time and space we dedicate to the partner, while on the other hand, we do not realize that day after day we lose the most important thing we have: our freedom. Have you ever wondered how much time your spend on yourself? Have you ever wondered how much importance you have in your relationship? In the first phase of falling in love, it is a common attitude to immerse oneself 100% in the new relationship. We are overwhelmed by a powerful hurricane of emotions, and our only thought is to devote as much time as possible to the person we love. But all this is not normal and can become very dangerous when this type of attitude continues even after the phase of falling in love. Do you ever feel misunderstood or even diminished when you try to express your thoughts? Have you ever wanted to have your own space outside the couple and had a frightened or angry reaction from your partner? If you see yourself in just one of these examples, you have finally found a book for you. You see, many people think that loving a person always means putting that person first. In reality, true love is born when first of all we love ourselves. Only in this way will we be able to give the best of ourselves in a couple relationship, only in this way will we be able to love and make ourselves loved as we really deserve. The ultimate goal of any relationship is to feel good about ourselves to make the partner happy while respecting his/her individuality. What can we do to get out of a toxic relationship? IN THIS BOOK: You'll recognize the signs that characterize a toxic relationship. You will recognize the characteristics that people most likely to fall into a toxic relationship have in common. You'll understand why we're stuck even though we realize we're in a toxic relationship. You will learn how to help your partner to live a more peaceful relationship. Knowing how to act may be the best way to go with your partner to avoid separation. You will learn to understand when there is nothing more to do and in the most extreme case to say enough, so that you can take charge of your life and live it as you deserve. The author of this book, in each chapter, will provide you with the necessary tools that will accompany you step by step in search of knowledge. It will help you really understand what a toxic relationship is, what the consequences of living with it are, and what strategies should be applied to get out of it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Jealousy Cure unlocks the positive power of jealousy for happy relationships." —Foreword Reviews "Solid counsel for those whose relationships are plagued by jealousy and the individuals it targets." —Library Journal starred review​ Could jealousy be a positive thing? In this groundbreaking book, Robert L. Leahy—author of the hugely popular self-help guide, The Worry Cure—invites you to gain a greater understanding of your jealous feelings, keep jealousy from hijacking your life, and create healthier relationships. We’ve all heard tales of the overly jealous spouse or significant other. Maybe we’ve even been that jealous person, though we may not want to admit it. It’s hard to imagine anyone sailing through life without either having feelings of jealousy or being the target of someone’s jealousy. But what if jealousy isn’t just a neurotic weakness? What if it signals that your relationship matters to you? In short—what if jealousy serves a purpose? In The Jealousy Cure, renowned psychologist Robert L. Leahy takes a more nuanced approach to tackling feelings of jealousy. In this compelling book, you’ll uncover the evolutionary origins of jealousy, and how and why it’s served to help us as a species. You’ll also learn practices based in emotional schema theory, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and mindfulness to help you overcome the shame jealousy can bring, improve communication with your partner, and ultimately make room for jealousy while also making your relationship more meaningful. You will learn that confronting jealousy in your relationship does not have to be a catastrophe, but can redirect you and your partner to build more trust, acceptance, and connection. We often feel jealous because we fear losing the things or people that matter to us the most. With this insightful guide, you’ll discover how jealousy can both help and hurt your relationship, and learn proven-effective skills to keep jealousy in its place. This book has been selected as an Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies Self-Help Book Recommendation— an honor bestowed on outstanding self-help books that are consistent with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) principles and that incorporate scientifically tested strategies for overcoming mental health difficulties. Used alone or in conjunction with therapy, our books offer powerful tools readers can use to jump-start changes in their lives.

Book excerpt: Learn to Love: Guide to Healing Your Disappointing Love Life is a book about learning to improve your love life. After 30 years of clinical research and treatment of patients with unhealthy love lives, I now recognize that most people are not in control of their love lives. Why? Because most people don't know what they've learned about and from the love relationships in the course of their lives. Love relationships that started in their families of origin the moment they were born.

If what you've learned was unhealthy, you could be unwittingly making the same love life mistakes over and over again because of what you've learned. Learn to Love will show you how to identify what you've learned about love relationships, how to unlearn what is unhealthy, and practice something new, healthy, and the opposite of what you've learned, now as a corrective in your adult love life. This simple learning formulate has helped many of my patients begin taking control of their own love lives, as well as helping me improve my own love life.

Download or read book Exaholics written by Lisa Marie Bobby and published by Union Square & Co.. This book was released on 2016-02-10 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Severing a cherished relationship is one of the most painful experiences in life—and cutting those emotional ties to a loved one can feel almost like ending an addiction. Up till now, people recovering from other problems were able to get real help—like AA and rehab—while those struggling in the aftermath of traumatic breaks dealt with platitudes and friends insisting they should "get over it already." But now Exaholics Anonymous treats getting over an ex like kicking a chemical habit. Written by counselor and therapist Dr. Lisa Bobby, Exaholics offers meaningful support and advice to anyone trapped in the obsessive pain of a broken, or dying, attachment. She helps the brokenhearted heal, showing them, on a deep level, how to develop a conceptual framework for their experience, understand the emotional processes at work inside themselves, find the path to recovery, and free themselves of shame, injured ego, and remorse. In-depth case studies of others' journeys will illuminate the way to future happiness.

Download or read book Toxic Relationships written by Devin Walters and published by . This book was released on 2015-05-15 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As social creatures, we simply have the need to interact with one another for various reasons. And as you've probably experienced for yourself, not all the people you've had relationships with were ultimately good for you. For example, I imagine that sometime in your past you've known someone who regularly irritated you, another person who belittled you or otherwise diminished your self-esteem, and someone else who was manipulative or dishonest with you. Of course, no relationship is perfect since no individual person is perfect, and occasionally you need to strike a compromise in order to help a relationship develop into its full potential. Believe it or not, with enough effort from both sides, even seemingly hopeless relationships can be salvaged. With all that said, however, it's important to stand your ground when someone (especially someone who's important to you) starts to do more harm than good in your life. Unfortunately, relationships with the wrong people can adversely affect your daily life and even impact how you relate with other people in the future. Therefore, it's critical that you identify a toxic relationship as soon as possible, and make a change before it's too late. This book is designed to provide you with insight and clarity as to the health of your relationship, and it will help you come to terms with the fact that not all relationships are good for you in the long run. I'm also going to show you how to work towards repairing a broken relationship, and if it's beyond repair (or your partner is unwilling), how to prepare to let go. While most of the discussion here is directed toward romantic couples, you can certainly apply the same principles and strategies to relationships with family and close friends as well.

Download or read book Culture Strike written by Laura Raicovich and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2021-12-14 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A leading activist museum director explains why museums are at the center of a political storm In an age of protest, cultural institutions have come under fire. Protestors have mobilized against sources of museum funding, as happened at the Metropolitan Museum, and against board appointments, forcing tear gas manufacturer Warren Kanders to resign at the Whitney. That is to say nothing of demonstrations against exhibitions and artworks. Protests have roiled institutions across the world, from the Abu Dhabi Guggenheim to the Akron Art Museum. A popular expectation has grown that galleries and museums should work for social change. As Director of the Queens Museum, Laura Raicovich helped turn that New York muni- cipal institution into a public commons for art and activism, organizing high-powered exhibitions that doubled as political protests. Then in January 2018, she resigned, after a dispute with the Queens Museum board and city officials. This public controversy followed the museum’s responses to Donald Trump’s election, including her objections to the Israeli government using the museum for an event featuring Vice President Mike Pence. In this lucid and accessible book, Raicovich examines some of the key museum flashpoints and provides historical context for the current controversies. She shows how art museums arose as colonial institutions bearing an ideology of neutrality that masks their role in upholding conservative, capitalist values. And she suggests ways museums can be reinvented to serve better, public ends.

Book excerpt: "One of the foremost relationship experts at work today applies the insights of science toward understanding the real meaning of trust between a couple. He decodes the "why" behind betrayal and shows how partners can avoid or recover from unfaithfulness and maintain a loving relationship.Dr. John Gottman, the country's pre-eminent researcher on marriage, is famous for his Love Lab at the University of Washington in Seattle where he deciphers the mysteries of human relationships through scientific research.

Now, Dr. Gottman offers surprising findings and advice on the characteristic that is at the heart of all relationships: Trust.

The results determine a relationship's likely future, including the potential for one or both partners to stray. A Love You Can Trust shows couples how to bolster their trust level and avoid what Dr. Gottman calls the "Roach Motel for Lovers." He describes how the outcome of--"sliding door moments," small pivotal points between a couple, can lead either to more emotional connection or to discontent. He suggests a new approach to handling adultery and reveals the varied and unexpected non-sexual ways that couples often betray each other. A Love You Can Trust guides couples through an empirically tested, trust-building program that will let them repair and maintain a long-term, intimate, and romantic relationship"--
