Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Much of the popular literature about depression, anxiety and stress says that these conditions are so complicated that we need experts to explain them to us. Some writers say they are diseases; we need medical experts to understand them. Some say they are 'disorders' so that, in addition to medical experts we need behavioral experts to tell us how our brain works. Others say we need master teachers to explain the universal truths of Eastern religion before we can fully understand our troubling feelings. Is it really true that our feelings are so complicated that we must rely on scientists and philosophers to explain them to us This workbook gives a clear answer: NO. 'The Thinking, Doing and Believing Workbook' views depression, anxiety and stress as normal human feelings. The problem is not that we have these feelings, it is that we neglect the messages they convey. When we neglect them they disrupt our daily functioning and, if we persist in neglecting them, they can ruin the quality of our lives. The Developmental Approach presented in this workbook notes the many ways we actively contribute to our depressive, anxious and stressful feelings. This is important because if we participate in becoming distressed then we have the option of changing our behavior and replacing dysfunctional habits with more functional ones. This workbook is a map. If you use it, it may: ¿ Help you understand what you have experienced and prepare you for what to expect. ¿ Suggest skills you might want to use as you travel through strange terrain. ¿ Find more creative ways to describe your emotional surroundings. ¿ Orient you to the present moment. ¿ Provide glimpses of recovery so that you will recognize it when you make progress along your way.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Working with amazing people for the past thirteen years led me to recognize what seemed to be consistent themes in people's lives. With each consultation it became clearer that each person wasn't aware of his or her own special wiring. All of them were more tied into what wasn't working rather than what was and more willing to acknowledge their seemingly shortcomings rather than their skills. While I could acknowledge what was amazing in them, they weren't quite there yet. What grew from this experience was knowledge that I could offer a to-go package that would help while on their journey, perhaps holding the energy of their greatness until they were ready to see it. This is that to-go package-a combination of humor, practical advice, and respect for energy that can guide anyone to self-acceptance, empowerment, and the manifestation of the absolute joy life can offer. Learn how to combine all of these elements and live the life you want and know you are meant to have.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - My oldest daughter, Courtney, died in December, 2010, at the age of forty, of complications from twenty years of drug addiction. This is not the story of her life, but her afterlife, in which she is communicating with me, through automatic writing, about what she is learning on the 'other' side. Although I have done automatic writing at various times in my life, I have never before had such a long, ongoing communication. But then I've never before had a child pass over. Courtney was a very sociable, talkative, witty, sensitive, loving, and spiritual person when she was alive.

Her writings have been helpful to my family and friends, and my friends have passed them on to some of their friends. It seems to make people feel better and look at things differently.
