Embracing Fear: How to Turn What Scares Us Into Our Greatest Gift

Editura: HarperOne

Anul aparitiei: 2005

It′s Time to Take Back Your Life Fear takes many forms -- dread, panic, anxiety, self-consciousness, superstition, and negativity -- and manifests itself in many ways -- avoidance, procrastination, judgment, control, and agitation, to name just a few. Whether we are afraid of the dark or being alone, of failure or commitment, of public speaking or flying, fear dominates our lives, affecting nearly every decision we make. Combining compelling stories from the author′s twenty-five-year practice, examples from his own struggles with addiction and depression, and practical exercises and tools, Embracing Fear does not pretend to teach the impossible and eliminate fear, but rather shows us that once we understand it we can live beyond its tyrannical control. Instead of repressing or ignoring the voices of panic and dread, we learn that it is only through facing, exploring, accepting, and responding to fear that we free ourselves from its paralyzing grip.

The Self-Forgiveness Handbook

Editura: BIBLIOBAZAAR

Anul aparitiei: 2015

Even though a sense of self-worth is generally considered essential for psychological survival, too few are ever taught the importance of maintaining a positive, loving and respectful relationship with ourselves. In fact, we are often actually discouraged from learning how to feel self-compassionate. Instead we are told that to care for ourselves is selfish, even sinful. For Therapist Thom Rutledge, the key to long-lasting change in our lives isn't the resolution of any one particular problem or circumstance. The key is in developing the ability to forgive ourselves. The Self-Forgiveness Handbook provides a powerful step-by-step program for doing just that. Guided exercises, refined over the years in Thom's therapy practice and motivational workshops, take you on a journey from self-criticism to self-compassion and inner strength. Along the way you will learn how to deal with your own critical inner voices, discover tools for overcoming obstacles and empowering yourself, and explore the challenge of giving forgiveness a central role in your life.
