Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A shocking, heart-rending and blisteringly funny account of what it's like to live with mental illness, by a powerful new comic voice. When Michelle Thomas suffered her first major depressive episode six years ago, she read and watched and listened to everything about mental health she could get her hands on in an effort to fix herself. God, it was tedious. And, quite frankly, depressing. Which is the last thing she needed. What she did need was a therapist who would listen and offer a wellness strategy catered to her specific needs. What she got was advice to watch a few YouTube videos and a cheerful reminder that 'it could be worse'. An honest, hilarious and heart-rending account of living with mental illness, My Sh*t Therapist will help you navigate the world, care for your mind and get through sh*t diagnoses, jobs, medications, boyfriends, habits, homes and therapists. You'll find no scented candles or matcha tea 'cures' for mental illness here. Instead, learn how a modern woman and her friends and followers navigate life with their brilliant but unpredictably sh*t brains. Having a crappy mental health day? I've got you. Want to chat antidepressants and breakdowns? Pull up a pew and let's get into it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A bestselling author offers a refreshingly honest, compassionate guide to the sh!tstorm that is divorce: falling apart, staying afloat, and new beginnings (whether you are ready for them or not). After 12 years together, 2 children, 10 pets, and 5 properties, Dawn and her partner decided to call it quits. In the newest installment of her bestselling Sh!t No One Tells You series, Dawn tries to figure out what happened… and what happens next. Dawn takes you on her own bumpy, meandering, and often absurd journey through the destruction of a life exploded by divorce. She dodges legal hurdles, irrational decisions, alarmed therapists, random hobbies, and a concerning number of dating app profiles that look like the beginning of a true crime podcast. But somehow, she found herself stronger—and happier—on the other side. Leaning into the mess, Dawn helps you learn the art of embracing Netflix and cry, the healing power of profanity, the importance of assembling the right support squad, how to survive the sh!tshow of co-parenting, and much more. Joined by an insightful chorus of divorced friends, Dawn delivers a true-to-life and funnier-than-it-should-be guide to discovering the unexpected value in the wreckage. What if divorce isn’t just a loss—but an opportunity?

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.

Download or read book The Holy Sh t Moment written by James Fell and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2019-01-22 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Motivation expert James Fell teaches readers how to skip the hard part and go directly from intention to committed action. After years of helping people change, James Fell had a sudden insight about sudden insight: significant life change doesn’t often come from just putting one foot in front of the other, carefully observing and altering habits, slogging through baby steps toward new behavior. Rather, the research reveals that serious life turnaround usually happens in a moment, with a flash of inspiration. Epiphany arrives like a lightning strike, rapidly shifting the recipient of such enlightenment onto a new path that creates a better life. Motivational psychology has traditionally focused on slow and steady—gradual improvement over time to reach a desired goal, whether it’s weight loss, career change, battling addiction, or success in relationships. We’ve been told since toddlerhood that the tortoise beats the hare. But, through compelling science and powerful stories, James Fell shows us that the hare has the edge; overwhelming desire can be awakened fast and furiously. When you learn to become attuned to that sensation of sudden awakening, a new path can be followed almost effortlessly, because it feels like destiny. Everyone has the ability to experience the lightning strike. The Holy Sh!t Moment will teach you how to create a life-changing epiphany and go directly from intention to action.

Download or read book Dr O Banye s Clinical Therapy Cards Prison written by Chris O'Banye, Ph.D., M.A., N.H. and published by Stoelting. This book was released on 2016-05-01 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developed for work with individuals in detention or incarceration, this user-friendly therapeutic card set is effective and clinically powerful. Clients, themselves, choose cards from the therapeutic deck. The set includes 37 cards, which direct, and assist the client, in opening up about difficult topics. Questions lead the clinician in exploring the roots of the clients' issues, as well as their impact, in the deeper levels of the mind, body and spirit. Each card addresses a specific issue, containing a DIRECTIVE (discussion prompt) on one side, and a TASK (what the client is to learn/change as a result) on the other. Cards are typically used by having clients read and address the DIRECTIVE in group or individual sessions. This then leads to clinical discussion about the issue prompted by the card. Each issue is related to a particular facet of treatment, and expected to provide the client with insight or coping skills to achieve therapeutic progress, in their area of treatment. After processing the therapeutic prompt, clients can read the TASK, which explains how their DIRECTIVE connected to treatment. A Manual is included with the set. The manual explains the theory and etiology of each Therapy Card topic from a client-centered systems approach. This information is very approachable and can be used to psychoeducate clients about the issues they are experiencing. The manual also gives step-by-step instruction in how to use the Therapy Cards during session, ways to present the cards, and how to integrate the cards into treatment. The manual provides content for each card that can be used by the therapist as follow-up information for clients, making Therapy Cards a truly out-of-the-box product that can be used by any clinician. Clinicians appreciate Therapy Cards because they help establish therapeutic rapport, create positive associations with processing therapeutic issues, and help clients make progress in treatment. At the end, clinicians can list the goal given on each card in the therapy notes for each client, to document the clinical intervention used. Therapy Cards can be used in individual, group, or family settings. Prison Therapy Cards cover the topics: • Relationships • Interpersonal Skills • Re-integrating Into Society • Managing Aggression • Decision Making • Managing Anxiety • Accountability
