Author(s): Robin Shapiro.

Year: 2020.

Edition: First (1st).

Publisher: W.W. Norton & Company.

Type(s): Paperback, Kindle, and Audiobook.

This book teaches assessment, treatment plans, enhancing the therapeutic relationship and ethics and boundary issues, all within a general framework of attachment theory and trauma.

Filled with examples, suggestions for dialogue and questions for a variety of therapeutic situation, Shapiro’s conversational tone makes the book very relatable. Early-career therapists will refer to it for years to come and veteran practitioners looking for a refresher (or introduction) to the latest in trauma and attachment work will find it especially useful.

Author(s): Richard Malishe.

Year: 2020.

Edition: First (1st).

Publisher: Unknown.

Type(s): Paperback and Kindle.

Synopsis:

Best Ways to Manage Stress is the guide you need to not only understand why you are so stressed but to help you get rid of that stress for good. You do not need to keep feeling overwhelmed and discouraged by your stress; you can take charge of your feelings and walk with more confidence and reassurance. The best part is that you can start making changes today! You do not have to wait to feel better.

Most people know that stress is a part of many people’s lives, and they have probably felt the impacts of stress on their lives. You can probably list things that are stressing you right this very minute. Thus, stress is one of the most prevalent problems that humans face, but it is too often portrayed as something annoying without being shown as dangerous. The truth is that stress is incredibly harmful not only to your mental health but also to your physical health. Stress kills thousands of people each year, and it costs healthcare systems around the world billions of dollars. Heart disease, obesity, and immune disorders are just some of the ailments impacted by stress, and we have only begun to realise the tremendous influence of stress on the body. Imagine how much healthier people would be if they could get their stress under control. You can heal your body by merely being less stressed.

Stress most obviously impacts your mental health. You are probably familiar with that awful feeling of tension that consumes your body when you feel stressed. This feeling leads to side effects like rumination, chronic worry, and the inability to focus. Unfortunately, stress can also lead to mental illnesses like anxiety disorders and depression. The more you let stress linger, the worse your condition becomes. Some people go their whole lives feeling awful because of how much stress they have.

You don’t need to be like other people. You do not have to go to work and feel stressed. You do not have to lay in bed at night worrying about what will happen in the morning. This book will show you that you can take a breathe and let the knots in your shoulders dissolve. We need to stop calling stress normal because it does not have to be normal anymore. With the right tools, humans could release themselves from their stress and live their lives more freely.

Year: 2016.

Edition: First (1ed).

Publisher: New Harbinger; Workbook Edition.

Type(s): Paperback and Kindle.

Synopsis:

Millions of children suffer from anxiety, which can be extremely limiting, causing kids to miss school, opt out of activities with friends, and refuse to speak or participate in a variety of situations. Furthermore, children who are diagnosed with anxiety or brought into therapy often feel embarrassed about not being “normal.” Focusing on the problem of anxiety can stress kids out and make them feel ashamed. But when the focus is on their strengths and their vivid imaginations, children are empowered to face their anxiety head-on.

The Anxiety Workbook for Kids is a fun and unique workbook grounded in evidence-based CBT and designed to help children understand their anxious thoughts within a positive framework-a perspective that will allow kids to see themselves as the highly imaginative individuals they are, and actually appreciate the role imagination plays in their anxiety. With this workbook, children will learn that, just as they are capable of envisioning vivid scenarios that fuel their anxiety, they are capable of using their imagination to move away from anxious thoughts and become the boss of their own worries.

With engaging CBT-based activities, games, and illustrations-and with a focus on imagination training and developing skills like problem solving, assertiveness, positive thinking, body awareness, relaxation, and mindfulness-this book will help kids stand up to the “worry bully” and harness the power of their imagination for good.
