Download or read book Kicking and Screaming written by Melanie D Gibson and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2021-04-20 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Melanie Gibson was an independent woman with a good job, multiple college degrees, and a condo in the trendy part of town. She also had a few mental illnesses, a minor substance abuse problem, and rotten relationship skills. She was a high-functioning crazy who needed a good kick in the pants, literally and metaphorically. In early 2013, as a last desperate means to save her sanity, Melanie turned to a nearly forgotten childhood activity: the Korean martial art of taekwondo. As if the universe were listening, she discovered her West Texas childhood taekwondo instructors’ Grandmaster operated a taekwondo school a few miles from her home in Fort Worth, Texas—and she decided to start her training over as a white belt. In taekwondo, Melanie felt like she had a fresh start in more ways than one. She found an inner peace she’d never known before, a sense of community, a newfound confidence, and a positive outlook on life. The kicking and screaming she was doing in class quieted the long-term kicking and screaming in her mind. Funny and frank, Kicking and Screaming: A Memoir of Madness and Martial Arts is the story of Melanie’s life-changing journey from troubled, lost soul to confident taekwondo black belt.

Download or read book Therapy Linguistic Therapy Based On The Psychology Of The Brain written by Philip Dammen and published by Philip Dammen. This book was released on 101-01-01 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The central ideas behind the books on linguistic brain therapy and the psychology of the brain aim to help psychologists, psychiatrists, therapists, health workers, family members, and clients. They provide knowledge and methods to reduce or eliminate mental disorders, leading to a better life for clients and more secure, satisfied therapists. Therapists and psychologists who achieve good results can continue their treatment confidently, while gaining a scientific understanding of the mental changes in their clients as they improve. Therapists who are less successful can acquire scientifically grounded knowledge to achieve better outcomes. Family members will gain knowledge about mental disorders, enabling them to help their children more effectively. Those suffering from mental disorders can acquire knowledge and techniques that alleviate their condition and create a life with less mental pain. These goals are achievable because the books contain scientific knowledge about mental constructs that anchor and trigger mental distress or well-being. They also provide insights into how to protect against and manage mental pain. The Significance of Research Early in my practice, several clients achieved amazing results that psychology could not explain, leading to an extensive research project. This research, initially met with skepticism, involved analyzing mental processes in clients for 9 years, uncovering how mental disorders are constructed and the mental changes experienced during improvement. A conclusion was that all mental disorders can be cured using words, though it may take time. These findings offered solutions to challenges in psychology and psychiatry for over 150 years. Significant Discoveries I discovered that mental disorders are constructed more simply than previously believed. Mental well-being and disorders are constructed from the same mental or mental-biological material, in the same manner, allowing the same methods to treat various mental disorders and develop mental well-being. I Now Know for Sure I am now certain that knowledge of brain psychology and linguistic therapy can help those with mental distress gain more control over their emotions and problems. Psychologists and health workers can treat clients with greater scientific certainty, achieving faster and better results. The most reliable evidence includes success stories, comments from international scientific journals, and observations from colleagues over many years. After 30 years of research and treating over 1000 clients, I am convinced that linguistic brain therapy not only helps individuals but also enables those who have studied the books to help others. For more information, visit: www.brainpsychology.pro. Simple, but not Easy The book 'Linguistic Brain Therapy' explains how to treat clients to become mentally stronger and more in control of their lives. The Books Offer the Necessary Knowledge The book on the Psychology of the Brain provides essential knowledge for understanding mental disorders. 'Linguistic Brain Therapy', based on Brain Psychology, guides therapists and others in treating clients effectively. My doctoral dissertation on mental distress and change is available at the University Library in Oslo. Are These Claims True? The books provide strong evidence for the claims. Practical evidence like success stories and research findings will be shared on: www.brainpsychology.pro. If you face mental challenges, explore brain psychology and linguistic therapy. These books can improve lives for many years, focusing on positive emotions, mental resources, coping strategies, and treatment of mental disorders.

Download or read book Ethical Decision Making in Educational Therapy written by Marion Marshall and published by Ethics International Press. This book was released on 24-08-30 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The profession of educational therapy has a detailed Code of Ethics governing standards of practice, responsibilities of members, and relationships with clients and allied professionals. Yet, there is no accompanying Practice Guide for applying these tenets to one’s own work, as there are in other “helping” professions. Applicable models of Ethical Decision Making (EDMs) have not been discussed, evaluated, or detailed in any other publication. Clear breaches of ethics may be readily apparent, but less clearcut ethical “dilemmas” can be very troublesome. Ethical Decision Making in Educational Therapy: A Practical Guide is a unique and important guidebook for professionals, instructors, and supervisors in the field. It categorizes the issues commonly experienced in an educational therapy practice while presenting engaging, real-life scenarios embedded with ethical quandaries. The book provides clear guidelines for problem-solving ethical issues with integrity. The effects of workplace context, experience, and self-reflection are reviewed. Ethical Decision Making in Educational Therapy: A Practical Guide is an essential book for those in university training programs, for practitioners new to the field, for those experiencing an ethical dilemma, for supervisors, and for those preparing to take the Association of Educational Therapist’s ethics exam to become Board Certified.

With action, romance, and a complex heroine, Bruised introduces a vibrant new voice to the young adult world—full of dark humor and hard truths. UPraise for Bruised/u STARRED REVIEW "Offering psychological drama and an introduction to martial-arts code of behavior, the book has a meaningful message about power, control, and the internal bruises carried by victims." —Publishers Weekly, starred review "Her story is compelling, and readers will stick with her as new insights bring about a believable shift in her behavior…This distinctive debut will be appreciated by fans of contemporary fiction." —Kirkus Reviews "This layered first novel explores the aftereffects of the trauma, convincingly depicting why Imogen blames herself for a situation over which she had no control. Skilton also sensitively depicts the bond and tentative romance that develops between Imogen and Ricky. The main story line about Imogen’s struggle to come to terms with what she did (and did not do) is nuanced and honest." —Horn Book "This is a useful exploration of the difference between fantasy-style omnipotence and the complexity of real-life human strength." —Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books "Skilton does a fine job capturing how a psychological process after trauma can take time and might manifest in unique, sometimes unexpected, ways." —VOYA Magazine "Poignant and emotionally raw at times and humorous at others, this debut novel adeptly portrays a shattered life in the wake of an unexpected act of violence and the road back to normalcy." —School Library Journal "Here is a writer to watch who handles complex issues with sensitivity in the vein of Deb Caletti and Sarah Dessen." —Booklist
Download or read book Martial Arts and Well being written by Carol Fuller and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-12-06 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Martial Arts and Well-Being explores how martial arts as a source of learning can contribute in important ways to health and well-being, as well as provide other broader social benefits. Using psychological and sociological theory related to behaviour, ritual, perception and reality construction, the book seeks to illustrate, with empirical data, how individuals make sense of and perceive the value of martial arts in their lives. This book draws on data from over 500 people, across all age ranges, and powerfully demonstrates that participating in martial arts can have a profound influence on the construction of behaviour patterns that are directly linked to lifestyle and health. Making individual connections regarding the benefits of practice, improvements to health and well-being – regardless of whether these improvements are ‘true’ in a medical sense – this book offers an important and original window into the importance of beliefs to health and well-being as well as the value of thinking about education as a process of life-long learning. This book will be of great interest to a range of audiences, including researchers, academics and postgraduate students interested in sports and exercise psychology, martial art studies and health and well-being. It should also be of interest to sociologists, social workers and martial arts practitioners.
