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 168 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We have self-love completely backwards. We strive to win the approval and affection of others without regard for our personal integrity. We give freely of our resources hoping our efforts will bolster our enoughness. We’re generous with our love and empathy towards others, but not towards ourselves. It’s a vicious cycle until we choose differently. Except that you’re not sure where to start. What you do know is this — – You want to foster a stronger connection with yourself and uncover what brings you joy. – You want to live more courageously and unapologetically as your true authentic Self. – You want to love all of you so that you can embrace those around you as well. – And you’re ready to do the work. Welcome to Love Thyself, First + Always.

Download or read book Love Is an Inside Job written by Romal Tune and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2018-04-03 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Faith in God plus therapy are the combination that leads to wholeness. Tune's story of his faith/therapy path to authenticity with God will empower you for your own life journey. Tune is the son of a drug-addicted single parent mother, who herself, inherited deeply ingrained obstacles to self-love. He found his way out of poverty via the military. He graduated from Howard University and Duke School of Divinity. He was a minister, a sought-after speaker, and social entrepreneur. Outwardly, he was successful, an overcomer. Yet, his past, hidden childhood trauma would sometimes revolt, causing self-sabotage that threatened to destroy the life he was creating. He worked hard to keep the emotional brokenness caused by the challenges of his upbringing carefully hidden -- especially from the church. His mother, with whom he successfully reconciled after she was finally free from addiction, died of lung cancer. Then he divorced -- a second time. Feeling like a failure, questioning his faith and will to live, he made a choice not to give up but to examine his life and seek counseling. Dubbed "Brother Brown" (a Black man's Brene Brown), his book shares his process of applying therapy and faith to anger, shame, self-doubt and plaguing memories. Romal learned that the pursuit of success was not the key to healing the inner turmoil but it was in learning to accept the love of God and learning to love the wounded child within. His past pain was redeemed as self-worth and he finally found inner peace. No longer carrying the weight of secrets, guilt and shame, he emerged emotionally free and more powerful than ever. His book will empower others to stop living a past driven present by healing their stories, embracing the love of God, and learning to truly love themselves.

Book excerpt: From the international bestselling author of Awareness, a pocket-sized guide that will bring you to new levels of spiritual awareness. The Way To Love contains the final flowering of Anthony de Mello's thought, and in it he grapples with the ultimate question of love. In thirty-one meditations, he implores his readers with his usual pithiness to break through illusion, the great obstacle to love. "Love springs from awareness," de Mello insists, saying that it is only when we see others as they are that we can begin to really love. But not only must we seek to see others with clarity, we must examine ourselves without misconception. The task, however, is not easy. "The most painful act," de Mello says, "is the act of seeing. But in that act of seeing that love is born." Anthony De Mello was the director of the Sadhana Institute of Pastoral Counseling in Poona, India, and authored several books. The Way To Love is his last.

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.
Download or read book Do You Love to Be Needed or Need to Be Loved written by Shari Schreiber and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2018-09-27 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shari Schreiber learned about healing people by having to surmount her own painful life experiences. Tenacious about her pursuit of wholeness and wellness, she invented tools in her mid-twenties to help her grow beyond mere survival and learn to thrive. She imparted these tools and methods to her clients for eighteen of the twenty-five years she was passionately dedicated to helping others repair themselves. Returning to school at forty-one, she’d hoped to legitimize the talents she’d always had, but found that experience lacking. Ms. Schreiber has not worked as a state-licensed professional, because in her view, “psychotherapy” or mind work never seemed to resolve or remedy human pain. Her own approach was extremely unconventional, unique and effective in contrast to other forms of intervention, even within the realm of addiction recovery. Having retired from her wellness practice in late 2017, she hopes to publish many more books that might help you gain clarity, wholeness, contentment, inner peace and joy.
Download or read book Inner Bonding written by Margaret Paul and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2012-10-16 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inner bonding is the process of connecting our adult thoughts with our instinctual, gut feelings—the feelings of the "inner child"—so that we can minimize painful conflict within ourselves. Free of inner conflict, we feel peaceful, open to joy, and open to giving and receiving love. Margaret Paul, coauthor of Healing Your Aloneness, explores how abandonment of the inner child leads to increasingly negative and destructive feelings of low self-worth, codepenclence, addiction, shame, powerlessness, and withdrawal from relationships. Her breakthrough inner bonding process teaches us to heal past wounds through reparenting and clearly demonstrates how we can learn to parent in the present. Real-life examples illustrate the dynamics of the healing process and show the benefits we can expect in every facet of our lives and in all our relationships. Inner Bonding provides the tools we need to forge and maintain the inner unity that makes our family, sexual, work, and social relationships productive, honest, and joyful.
Download or read book The Biblical View of Self Esteem Self Love and Self Image written by Jay E. Adams and published by Harvest House Publishers. This book was released on 1986-09-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who am I? Why am I here? Where am I going? Familiar questions in our day and age. But has our search for answers led us too far in the wrong direction: away from our true position in Christ and toward a dangerous emphasis on self? Recent decades have seen the rise of a powerful and influential movement within the church. Identified by labels such as “self-image,” “self-esteem,” “self-worth,” and “self-love,” this movement has one common denominator—the emphasis on self. Regardless of religious persuasion, everyone seems to be fighting what they perceive to be a shared enemy: low self-esteem. Now well-known biblical counselor and noted author Jay Adams brings much-needed clarification to the area of self-esteem and offers the church and every believer a truly biblical view of self.
Download or read book The Complete Christian Self Love Book written by Mike McArthur and published by . This book was released on 2021-01-14 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How To start to love yourself unconditionally I am absolutely sure that this book will help everyone to get to know yourself better and on a deeper level, improve your relationships, accept yourself and others, love your life and be happy while enjoying "peace of mind," get rid of fear and stress, find the meaning of your life, solve different problems, and, finally, find God within you. While reading this book you can find the answers to many of your questions because this book is based on the Bible, a universal book of life created by God and proven by billions of people of different nations for thousands of years. All the relationships including all the problems in the relationships were given to you by God to show you that you need to learn how to love yourself. That is the main purpose of life. The only thing that we learn in this life is to love. What is loving yourself? There is always a misconception about it, but loving yourself is a most important thing in your life and this book will prove it. I am sure many of us have read the Bible; but so, fewer people actually understood very famous quote Mark 12:31 "Love your neighbor as yourself." If you really spend some time thinking about this phrase, maybe sleep on it, what do you think this phrase is about? You should love yourself first. Always. You need to learn how to love yourself first, and only afterwards you could love your neighbor. Therefore, if you don't love yourself, it's not possible to love others. There is simply no such way. There is a common misconception nowadays that relationships are supposed to bring love to our life. When it doesn't happen, we become miserable. The truth is that, according to the Bible, romantic relationships are never the source of love. Remember: Love your neighbor as yourself. First, you love yourself and only then you could love your boyfriend or girlfriend. So, true source of love is within us! Nowadays people are looking for love in the relationships without having love in their soul and, of course, they fail to find it. Relationships are not a source of love, but a reflection of our soul and mind. Therefore, if we don't have a love in ourself, we are never going to find love in our relationships. And that is the word of Christ. You will see that money is creation of God Money always existed and will exist forever. Because money was created by God. During our life, we always interact with each other. Two things in this are always true: nothing is free, and nothing goes unnoticed. If you go to the grocery store to buy some milk, you must pay some money. If money didn't exist, this simple transaction of buying milk would be very hard to solve. In that case you, would interact with many others like farmers who produced this milk, sellers who sell the milk, etc. You would need to do chores and help them in order to get some milk from them. How could you get a milk in this situation? That's why God created money as a universal solution where you can get what you need and keep going. You will learn how to accept yourself, forgive yourself, and be kind to yourself What are the concrete actions of loving yourself? The first and foremost is self- forgiveness. You need to forgive yourself for not matching that image of a perfect you. Because just having that image of a perfect you is a sign of self-hate. If you accept who you are, you are totally happy with who you are. Learn how to start to love yourself unconditionally.Scroll up and click the buy button now
