Download or read book I m a Therapist and My Patient is Going to be the Next School Shooter written by Dr. Harper and published by . This book was released on 2019-01-28 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I'm a therapist, and I work with the most dangerous patients. I've seen it all... A boy who planned to be the next school shooter. A patient with OCD whose loved ones really did suffer every time he missed a ritual. A choir boy who claimed he was being molested -- not by a priest -- but by God Himself. A patient with PTSD who gave me nightmares. A husband and wife who accused each other of abuse, and only one of them was telling the truth. A woman who kept her ex locked up as a sex slave. A pedo-ring conspiracy theorist who was actually onto something. And how could I ever forget, Patient #220. The problem is, my patients have a habit of dying. Sometimes I wonder if I'm the common denominator. Or maybe that's just the cost of taking on exceptionally broken clients. Either way, I'll never stop trying to help."--Page 4 of cover.
Download or read book The Angry Therapist written by John Kim and published by Parallax Press. This book was released on 2017-04-18 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tackling relationships, career, and family issues, John Kim, LMFT, thinks of himself as a life-styledesigner, not a therapist. His radical new approach, that he sometimes calls “self-help in a shot glass” is easy, real, and to the point. He helps people make changes to their lives so that personal growth happens organically, just by living. Let’s face it, therapy is a luxury. Few of us have the time or money to devote to going to an office every week. With anecdotes illustrating principles in action (in relatable and sometimes irreverent fashion) and stand-alone practices and exercises, Kim gives readers the tools and directions to focus on what's right with them instead of what's wrong. When John Kim was going through the end of a relationship, he began blogging as The Angry Therapist, documenting his personal journey post-divorce. Traditional therapists avoid transparency, but Kim preferred the language of "me too" as opposed to "you should." He blogged about his own shortcomings, revelations, views on relationships, and the world. He spoke a different therapeutic language —open, raw, and at times subversive — and people responded. The Angry Therapist blog, that inspired this book, has been featured in The Atlantic Monthly and on NPR.

Download or read book I Had a Miscarriage written by Jessica Zucker and published by Feminist Press at CUNY. This book was released on 2021-03-09 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sixteen weeks into her second pregnancy, psychologist Jessica Zucker miscarried at home, alone. Suddenly, her career, spent specializing in reproductive and maternal mental health, was rendered corporeal, no longer just theoretical. She now had a changed perspective on her life’s work, her patients’ pain, and the crucial need for a zeitgeist shift. Navigating this nascent transition amid her own grief became a catalyst for Jessica to bring voice to this ubiquitous experience. She embarked on a mission to upend the strident trifecta of silence, shame, and stigma that surrounds reproductive loss—and the result is her striking memoir meets manifesto. Drawing from her psychological expertise and her work as the creator of the #IHadaMiscarriage campaign, I Had a Miscarriage is a heart-wrenching, thought-provoking, and validating book about navigating these liminal spaces and the vitality of truth telling—an urgent reminder of the power of speaking openly and unapologetically about the complexities of our lives. Jessica Zucker weaves her own experience and other women's stories into a compassionate and compelling exploration of grief as a necessary, nuanced personal and communal process. She inspires her readers to speak their truth and, in turn, to ignite transformative change within themselves and in our culture.

Download or read book A Pastoral Counselor s Model for Wellness in the Workplace written by Robert L Menz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-24 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author: If this information helps the professional caregiver, it will help the employee; if it helps the employee, it will help the company! A Pastoral Counselor's Model for Wellness in the Workplace: Psychergonomics takes the concept of ergonomics beyond physical and environmental concerns to include a holistic interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit. This unique book examines how psychosocial factors like family, conflict, emotional stress, addiction, and financial pressures can impact an employee's health and well-being. It incorporates a new paradigm of health care into wellness in the corporate setting, adding a new dimension to human health and safety. A Pastoral Counselor's Model for Wellness in the Workplace explores the workplace reality that illness and injury are not just the result of simple linear causes. Companies have data to determine how much they spend on insurance and worker's compensation claims but no way to measure the effects absenteeism, productivity, quality of work, and employee morale have on operating expenses. Using a holistic model of understanding, employers may now consider that an injury may be the result of an employee's depression, an accident might be caused by substance abuse, and an illness could be brought on by being worried “sick.” A Pastoral Counselor's Model for Wellness in the Workplace examines how employees—and employers—can be affected by: money troubles marriage problems depression grief stress conflicts addictions alcoholism anger A Pastoral Counselor's Model for Wellness in the Workplace: Psychergonomics is an essential resource for all helping professions, particularly in the areas of mental health and addiction. The book is an invaluable tool for pastoral counselors, chaplains, human resources managers, employee assistance professionals, psychotherapists, health care professionals, and educators.

Download or read book Cured by Watching Talking Under the Guide of a Counselor or by Oneself written by YingJie Song and published by via tolino media. This book was released on 2024-07-15 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Obesity, anxiety, cheating, anger, bipolar disease, schizophrenia etc. could show up as a disease on surface, they mean nothing else except there is something wrong in one’s mind. As to what is wrong, it is really hard for ordinary people to know as often the problem is lurking in subconscious mind, which is beyond one’s recognition. Human as a species has existed for quite a long and long time, and established various mechanisms to cope with major disasters and conflicts. When one is facing powerful disaster and could not do anything about it, the problem would fade into subconscious mind of the person as it is a survival mechanism for the individual and the species, otherwise, the person involved could not survive the disaster. Unawareness does not mean the problem is gone, and it would not affect the life and work of the individual. When condition is right, the unsolved problem or conflict would show up as various illnesses. At that point psychological counseling comes to play a significant role as at the moment we still lack of basic understanding of mind and its working mechanism, though medicine has already made quite a progress. Through psychological counseling, the potential problem could be found, the unreleased anger or fear or stress could be released, thus the person could walk on a road of recovery. Traditional psychological counseling based on communication between the client and the counselor, in this book, a new method with a name of Image Arrangement is developed based on Family Constellations of Bert Hellinger, which could act as an X-ray machine of mind to uncover the potential problems in subconscious mind without reliance on group activities or small things as representatives in one’s subconscious mind. At the same time, based on their practices the authors develop 21 sets of golden sentences for curing to write and recite in one’s heart to solve twenty-one common psychological problems. Of course, there will be a huge difference in the effects under the guide of a counsellor and by oneself with the method. Thus, if possible, one should seek professional help to achieve maximal effect. Through Image Arrangement, one could give back the misaligned responsibility to the original owner and be only to himself, that is a proved way to solve many psychological problems.
