Book excerpt: From the team behind the super-popular Instagram @MyTherapistSays comes this humorous guide that chronicles the exhausting task of navigating the daily, anxiety-ridden struggle that we fondly call life. Including hilarious memes MTS is known and loved for, along with checklists, prompts, questions from readers, and more, My Therapist Says is the guide you need to achieve your goals, one wrong turn at a time. Have you ever wanted something, pursued it (albeit not quite as gracefully as you would’ve hoped), failed, and then genuinely asked yourself the question, “Am I delusional?” Well, that’s how I began penning this magnum opus. Like the Buddhist’s have their Tripitaka, you have…moi. And my therapist, though it’s unlikely she’ll admit this in public. On the receiving end of a ghosting session? Needing a way to leave a work function without looking like a buzzkill? Having a hard time developing amnesia about your last relationship? Fear not, as I cover everything from circumstantial etiquette to blissful delusion when necessary. So, grab a pen, a box of tissues, a glass of wine, and your bestie, because sh*t is about to get real. And remember, be yourself, be kind, and all that jazz, unless you’re a Susan*. If that’s the case, try to be literally anyone else. Ugh, my therapist hates that I wrote that. *Susan: Noun and verb. Unpleasant, annoying, and delusional, the Susan is somebody who is literally awful in every way, is liked by no one, but has no clue, no matter how many open clues you give her. If you roll your eyes at this, you’re probably a Susan. Uses: Susaning, Susanism.

Book excerpt: Finally, a beginning . . . The time had finally come. The time I had been waiting for through all these long months that I knew sooner or later had to occur. Now it was here. She had surprised me so much by actually crying that for a moment I did nothing but look at her. Then I gathered her into my arms, hugging her tightly. She clutched onto my shirt so that I could feel the dull pain of her fingers digging into my skin. She cried and cried and cried. I held her and rocked the chair back and on its rear legs, feeling my arms and chest get damp from the tears and her hot breath and the smallness of the room.

This book was released on 2015-12-21 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Table of Contents Introduction Psychological Aspect From the Sellers Viewpoint Good Housekeeping Sensible Shopping Tackling That Craving This Is the Last Time… Shop Around Window – Shopping Shopping with Friends Discount Sales The Credit Card Danger Combating Compulsive Shopping Disorder Easy to Follow Tips Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction What do you mean I shouldn't shop so much? This book is going to tell you a little bit about the psychological aspect of one activity, which is rather common all over the world. This includes spending money, often needlessly, in buying things which one does not need or want. In the 21st century, this psychological ailment has been given the name of Shopaholism and people suffering from them are called shopaholics. Most of us find this term very amusing, and may even laugh at people, who splurge without reason and without thinking, spending their hard-earned money on things, just because. Most of us enjoy shopping. In fact, we can think of no other relaxing activity, than going out and doing a little window shopping in our favorite stores. It is only when we begin to buy everything, insight, even if we cannot afford it, and our credit card is weeping as it sees the limits approaching, we may find ourselves in a bit of a quandary. Shopping occasionally and within limits can be a very enjoyable experience. What is this overwhelming reason why we want to shop? In fact, a large number of women, when asked why they wanted to shop so much, say that it gives them a high. In fact I was feeling rather blue a couple of days ago and not too well, and my mother suggested that I go out in the fresh air, and shop to my heart’s content. I do not like shopping much – in fact, you can call me a bit of a tight wad. But I found that just going in my favorite shops, and looking around at the things there, and feeling content that I had enough of money to buy them, if I wanted to buy them, was enough to make me feel better. Notice the point here – I had enough money to buy the things I wanted or needed, and I did not want to buy them. For many of us occasionally, we do not have that much money with us or on our credit cards. However, we want to buy and we want to buy right now! This is when the problem starts. Apart from that artificial high, and it being a pleasurable experience and exercise, most of us are suffering from the compulsive shopping syndrome. This is a real live ailment. It turns us into shopaholics. In fact, Wikipedia calls shopaholics "people suffering from a compulsion which makes them want to shop." In such cases, people do not shop, because have to get something. They shop, because they cannot stop themselves, and they are addicted to shopping.

And a reputation is solidified that you won’t ever be able to escape. Everything you do and say, and everyone you spend your time with, matters. Katie Mills knows that. She gets it.

So when she happens to catch one of the popular girls throwing up in the bathroom one day, it sparks an idea. A match that quickly engulfs her life in flames. Is there any going back once she gets started down this path? And would she even want to if she could?

Download or read book The Psychology of Theft and Loss written by Robert Tyminski and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-07-11 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do we steal? This question has confounded everyone from parents to judges, teachers to psychologists, economists to more than a few moral thinkers. Stealing can be a result of deprivation, of envy, or of a desire for power and influence. An act of theft can also bring forth someone’s hidden traits – paradoxically proving beneficial to their personal development. Robert Tyminski explores the many dimensions of stealing, and in particular how they relate to a subtle balance of loss versus gain that operates in all of us. Our natural aversion to loss can lead to extreme actions as a means to acquire what we may not be able to obtain through time, work or money. Tyminski uses the myth of Jason, Medea and the Golden Fleece to explore the dilemmas involved in such situations and demonstrate the timelessness of theft as fundamentally human. The Psychology of Theft and Loss incorporates Jungian and psychoanalytic theories as well as more recent cognitive research findings to deepen our appreciation for the complexity of human motivations when it comes to stealing, culminating in consideration of the idea of a perpetually present ‘inner thief’. Combining case studies, Jungian theory and analysis of many different types of stealing including robbery, kidnapping, plagiarism and technotheft, The Psychology of Theft and Loss is a fascinating study which will appeal to psychoanalysts, psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, family therapists and students.
