Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Without trust, our lives would be impossible. Every relationship we have, whatever its nature, depends on trust for its successful continuance. Sometimes life itself depends on it. But how do we trust other people? What happens to us when we engage in acts of trust? And what happens to us when our trust is betrayed? Mary Farrell examines issues of trust through a series of stories: true stories about exceptional people who have engaged in extraordinary acts of trust. In doing so, she sheds light on the nature of our relationships and how they operate. The stories include that of the Native American woman who runs a wolf sanctuary and lives and works with wild animals; the circus couple who need absolute trust to perform a 'William Tell' act on each other; the story of horse-whisperer Franklin Levinson; the story of best-selling author Susan Winter, who has studied relationships between older women and younger men; and the story of actor Michael Hurst (Iolaus in the television series Hercules). Using the principles and techniques of psychotherapy to shed light on the acts of trust in the stories she tells, Mary Farrell also looks at the negative sides of trust, including deceit, betrayal and disbelief. This is a truly unique book that will enlighten and delight anyone who is seeking a deeper understanding of their relationships. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Live and Laugh with Dementia is all about how to make life with dementia as positive as possible - to maximise quality of life for all concerned.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. When Gwendoline Smith chanced to have a breast examination at a mobile unit in 2009, little did she know where it might lead. Sure, she lived with the knowledge of her mother's breast cancer years before, but could it really happen to her too? The realisation dawned only when the medical evidence could not be questioned, and so began one of the most testing years of her life. In Breast Support, Gwendoline describes not just the physical and medical experience of breast cancer, through diagnosis, surgery, recovery and rehabilitation, but the emotional and psychological experience too. In a book memorable for its wit and self-deprecating humour, she answers some of the questions women frequently ask: what to wear to a breast examination; how to tell friends and family that you have the disease; how to be positive and maintain a cheerful outlook. She also offers insightful advice on esteem and self-confidence when facing the loss of an essential part of what it means to be feminine. Her book does not forget partners either: there are many messages in this book for husbands and boyfriends. There is also a separate chapter for women in lesbian relationships. Supporting Gwendoline's superbly written text are contributions from her surgeon and other medical specialists who tell the story from their point of view. The text is therefore a unique combination of personal story and insider information, offered with both a light touch and professional expertise. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Zustand: Good. For many people, food is no longer something to 'enjoy' as the stuff that nurtures us, keeps us healthy. It's something to 'control', 'do battle with', all in a warped quest to 'be thin' and live up to society's photoshopped ideals. Plus there's the obesity epidemic where we've trained our tastebuds to crave the fat, salt and sugar that so much junk food is saturated with. By examining the psychological factors that encourage us to eat more than we know we should, as well as the tricks used by marketers to influence what and how much we eat, 'Change the Way You Eat' provides the tools for readers to take ownership of their eating choices so that lifelong change can take place. Discover how: * our stage of life, gender, financial resources and values all influence our food choices * branding, packaging and labelling combine to manipulate our shopping habits * our inbuilt taste preferences can determine the food we're drawn to, and how to reprogram them * our environment - from the type of music playing while we eat to the number of people we eat with - can all affect our eating habits * our personality and emotions can determine our food choices and habits, and * we can implement our newfound knowledge to take back control of our plate, become conscious eaters and gain real enjoyment from nourishing ourselves in a way that promotes long-term health and happiness.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. To be human is to be in relationships. We can't survive without them but at the same time it's in our relationships that we so easily come unravelled. Either we feel like we lose ourselves or we feel burnt out from unsuccessful efforts to make things right for another. It's in our relationships that we can experience the very best of ourselves and the very worst. The message of 'Growing Yourself Up' is that you can't separate understanding the individual from understanding relationships; they go hand in hand. All of life's relationships are integral to increasing self-awareness and growing maturity - and it's not necessarily the comfortable ones that promote personal growth! Drawing from Bowen family systems theory, this book takes you on a journey through each stage of life to see the predictable patterns of relationships and to show you how to use this knowledge to make purposeful adjustments in yourself. The result, though certainly not a quick fix, is a sturdier self, sturdier relationships and a refreshing new way of viewing life's challenges and opportunities.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Emotional Freedom Therapy or (EFT) is a remarkable technique that alleviates emotional distress using simple yet elegant techniques based on the body's energy meridians. By teaching an easily adopted system of tapping on the body's meridian points, ENJOY EMOTIONAL FREEDOM enables you to 'tune' and 'tone' your body's energy system for immediate relaxation and relief from stress and anxiety. EFT is one of the few techniques that ordinary people can use to gain some control over dysfunctional feelings. ENJOY EMOTIONAL FREEDOM is full of deceptively simple yet highly effective tips and strategies that guide you into ways of being better balanced and more emotionally 'fit', regardless of any negative thinking you might be saddled with at present. Let the authors give you the life-long gift of emotional freedom. This is a little book about a big subject. It represents the fruit of a decade of experimentation and innovation in the field of energy psychology by two of the most enthusiastic and original contributors. In a nutshell the techniques taught in this book allow someone to 'tune' and 'tone' their body's energy system for the immediate benefit of relaxation and a reduction of the body's stress responses. They can also learn how to apply the meridian energy stimulation directly to a number of emotional issues with predictable positive results: typically, these are the issues of fear, anxiety and hurt. There are very, very few techniques that ordinary people can use alone to gain some control over dysfunctional feelings - and the techniques in this book represent two of them. The SET technique is a body technique-not really a mental one. It does have a great effect on the thoughts over time but not necessarily a direct one. The feeling that hurts us is 'stuck' in the body. This is where the change (processing of emotion) will occur. You know you have a problem because when you think of something you have unpleasant feeling-reactions. If there is no 'hot' feeling when you think of a problem-then where is the problem? ENJOY EMOTIONAL FREEDOM enables and empowers the ordinary person to start getting results now, without having to be psychologically-minded or clever. It's full of useful tips and strategies which can be deceptively simple. This book guides you into ways of being better balanced and more emotionally 'fit' regardless of the thinking you might be saddled with at present. Best of all, it gives you the life-long gift of being able to help yourself far more than you ever imagined. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.
