-Titulo Original : A Radical Guide For Women With Adhd Embrace Neurodiversity, Live Boldly, And Break Through Barriers-Fabricante : New Harbinger Publications-Descripcion Original: Live boldly as a woman with ADHD! This radical guide will show you how to cultivate your individual strengths, honor your neurodiversity, and learn to communicate with confidence and clarity. If you are a woman with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), you’ve probably known-all your life-that you’re different. As girls, we learn which behaviors, thinking, learning, and working styles are preferred, which are accepted and tolerated, and which are frowned upon. These preferences are communicated in innumerable ways-from media and books to our first-grade classroom to conversations with our classmates and parents. Over the course of a lifetime, women with ADHD learn through various channels that the way they think, work, speak, relate, and act does not match up with the preferred way of being in the world. In short, they learn that difference is bad. And, since these women know that they are different, they learn that they are bad. It’s time for a change. A Radical Guide for Women with ADHD is the first guided workbook for women with ADHD designed to break the cycle of negative self-talk and shame-based narratives that stem from the common and limiting belief that brain differences are character flaws. In this unique guide, you’ll find a groundbreaking approach that blends traditional ADHD treatment with contemporary treatment methods, such as acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), to help you untangle yourself from the beliefs that have kept you from reaching your potential in life. If you’re ready to develop a strong, bold, and confident sense of self, embrace your unique brain-based differences, and cultivate your individual strengths, this step-by-step workbook will help guide the way. Review “ A Radical Guide for Women with ADHD is more than a workbook only for women with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It is a beautifully written, inspiring resource and tool that every human being living with shame, blame, and misperceived negative emotions of being ‘less than’ needs to refer to daily. Sari Solden and Michelle Frank have created a transformational guide with exercises, questions, and inspiring stories that will immediately encourage readers to explore and discover their inner greatness. I highly recommend this workbook for coaches, therapists, physicians, and every human being who truly wants to discover the true essence of who they are and want to be in the world.” - David Giwerc, MCC, MCAC, founder and president, ADD Coach Academy; master certified ADHD coach, PAAC; master certified coach, ICF; and author of Permission to Proceed “In this easy-to-read workbook, Sari Solden and Michelle Frank invite women with ADHD to recognize and challenge a variety of assumptions about themselves and others that may needlessly prevent them from experiencing their own full potential. The authors use brief examples from women of various ages to show that constructive, positive change is quite possible with ADHD. Many women with ADHD will find this book interesting, challenging, and helpful.” - Thomas E. Brown, PhD, director, Brown Clinic for Attention and Related Disorders, Manhattan Beach, CA; adjunct clinical associate professor in the department of psychiatry, Keck School of Medicine of USC; and author of Smart But Stuck and Outside the Box “To say this is the book about and for women with ADHD is only part of the story. This is a book that warmly promotes self-compassion and the true soul work that is essential for living a valued, successful life with ADHD. Be prepared to see yourself in these pages. You will engage in hearty laughter and cry tears of validation and forgiveness. Most of all, you won’t feel alone as you will feel completely understood by the authors.” - Roberto Olivardia, PhD, clinical psychologist, and lecturer in the department of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School “I was in tears when I began reading this book.

Weiss, Ph.D., Founder & Former Director of Psychosocial Oncology, University of Miami Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center; Associate Professor of Medicine, Psychiatry, and Psychology, University of Miami School of Medicine From the Author As a graduate student in the early eighties, I studied under the foremost researcher on self-esteem, sociologist Dr. Morris Rosenberg. In surveying thousands of adolescents, Dr. Rosenberg had identified the antecedents of self-esteem and shown that the lack of self-esteem results in a wide range of difficulties in life. One day after class, I asked him how an adult who lacked self-esteem could enhance it. He shrugged his shoulders and said, I dont know. I reasoned that there must be a way to do so, and determined that I would develop an approach to self-esteem enhancement that everyday people could apply. Applying the principle of distinguished psychologist Abraham Maslow that building self-esteem requires many and major impacts, I scoured the literature and pooled the best techniques that affect self-esteem at all levels--thoughts, images, feelings, bodily sensations, and behavior. I then tested the approach with adults ranging in age from eighteen to sixty-eight years of age. It was gratifying to find that self-esteem can indeed be improved through a conscientious application of relatively simple and clear principles and skills. And it is heartwarming to hear from people who have been able to develop the secure anchor of self-esteem, even later in life.

-Titulo Original : The ACT Workbook For Perfectionism: Build Your Best (Imperfect) Life Using Powerful Acceptance And Commitment Therapy And Self-Compassion Skills-Fabricante : New Harbinger Publications-Descripcion Original: An innovative approach to help you maintain your high standards while also accepting mistakes with compassion and kindness. If you’re a perfectionist, you know there’s a helpful upside to pushing yourself toward excellence: achievement, success-and, hey, it can be fun and rewarding to work hard! But unhelpful perfectionism can just as easily work against you. It can prevent you from taking risks or trying new things out for fear of failure, judgment, or rejection; cause you to procrastinate; and make you feel like no matter what you achieve, you’ll never be good enough. Grounded in evidence-based acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), this workbook will help you discover what drives this ‘dark side’ of perfectionism, and develop the skills you need to overcome it-without lowering your standards. By leaning in to your values and treating yourself with kindness and compassion, you’ll learn to put mistakes in perspective without wallowing in self-criticism. Most importantly, you’ll find that you can allow for imperfection, without losing your drive to achieve. If you’re ready to stop unhealthy perfectionism from paralyzing your personal growth-and start embracing yourself as perfectly imperfect-this book will introduce you to a whole new you! Review “Hands down the best, most helpful book on perfectionism I’ve ever encountered. A must-read for anyone looking to escape the cage of self-imposed perfectionistic expectations and behaviors.” -Jill A.

Using skills from acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), you can learn to use your perfectionism when it works for you, and not be held back by it when it tries to slow you down. Practicing what is in this book can improve your life.” -Michael Twohig, PhD, professor at Utah State University, and coauthor of The Anxious Perfectionist “In The ACT Workbook for Perfectionism, Jennifer Kemp generously offers her expertise alongside her lived experience to lead the reader through a tough but potentially life-changing journey. It empowers readers with the latest scientific approaches for understanding and unwinding the grip of perfectionism, and inspires readers with relatable stories and actionable exercises. Anyone who finds themselves seeing what’s ‘best’ as the only acceptable way forward should pick up this book as a first step in building their best, imperfect life.” -Emily K. Sandoz, PhD, endowed professor of social sciences, and graduate coordinator at University of Louisiana at Lafayette “Jennifer Kemp is not perfect, and that makes this book perfect. Her voice is so relatable and honest, it’s like a conversation. Drawing on personal and client experience, the book is warm and accessible, whilst also being structured, interactive, and academically impressive. Kemp uses the latest science of behavior change, delivered in an engaging series of exercises and readings, to help you change your own perfectionist habits.” -David Gillanders, head of clinical and health psychology at the University of Edinburgh “At last, a workbook for perfectionists that is practical, heartfelt, and based on the science of ACT. It is packed with practical tools, readings, exercises, and ideas for change. This is a wonderful resource for helping you do the things that really matter, and getting your demanding, critical self-talk out of the driver’s seat. It will help you create a life...

-Titulo Original : The Anxiety And Phobia Workbook-Fabricante : New Harbinger Publications-Descripcion Original: Review “Several generations of counselors and physicians have had the benefit of Edmund Bourne’s intensely researched and extremely handy The Anxiety and Phobia Workbook. I know few colleagues who do not have a copy on their bookshelves that they consult regularly when treating patients suffering with anxiety-related disorders. This book is especially important today as climate change continues to inflame the anxieties of our already-stressed social fabric. The WHO and NIH are all reporting sweeping increases in ‘ecoanxiety.’ The recent APA special report, Mental Health and Our Changing Climate, found that US-based hurricanes more than doubled rates of suicide and suicidal ideation, with nearly 50 percent of the catchment group studied developing a longer-term anxiety or mood disorder such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). If you don’t already have this updated edition of the ‘gold standard’ in anxiety treatment, now is the time to add it to your clinical armamentarium.” -Christian R. Komor, PsyD, author of Climate Deadline 2035“Here is the valuable and comprehensive update to a classic in our self-help field. This fast-paced guide unravels the mysteries of anxieties, phobias, and worry, then delivers action-focused ‘how-to’ techniques. With these powerful tools in your hands, you can more than survive, you can thrive.” -Reid Wilson, PhD, author of Stopping the Noise in Your Head“This book is a timely and comprehensive update to a classic resource in the field of anxiety and its treatment. The latest edition is very readable, easily understandable, filled with updated information, and should be quite helpful and informative to anyone interested in treating or recovering from an anxiety disorder or a condition marked by anxiety. Many thanks to Ed Bourne for this excellent work!” -Jeffrey Brantley, MD, psychiatrist; founding faculty member of Duke Integrative Medicine, and founding director of its mindfulness based stress reduction program; author of Calming Your Anxious Mind, and author or coauthor of several other books related to mindfulness practices for health and greater well-being in daily life“The best gets better! Bourne refuses to be complacent, and brings his classic book up to date with new topics such as overcoming worry and preventing relapse. This is part informational, part workbook, part repository of practical steps, and part resource directory for all things to do with anxiety, phobias, and even obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). An astonishing resource in one volume! Those with anxiety will find much help in these pages.” -Timothy A. Sisemore, PhD, professor of psychology at California Baptist University, and author of The Clinician’s Guide to Exposure Therapies for Anxiety Spectrum Disorders“Ed Bourne has again produced a thoroughly updated revision of his classic book. Incredibly helpful to clients and clinicians, he describes symptoms and updated treatment techniques in detail, and provides plenty of exercises. He covers health conditions that may contribute to anxiety, safety behaviors that perpetuate it, and nutrition, medication, and meditations that reduce it-as well as relapse prevention. He updates descriptions of exposures according to new research. He describes genotypic testing that helps determine the best antidepressant medications for particular individuals. Finally, he has material on identifying values and setting goals, including those based on one’s spiritual life.” -Lynne Henderson, PhD, founder of the Social Fitness Center; founder and codirector, with Philip Zimbardo, of the Shyness Institute; and author of Improving Social Confidence and Reducing Shyness Using Compassion Focused Therapy and Helping Your Shy and Socially Anxious Client“Edmund Bourne’s anxiety and phobia workbook is a must-read for anyone battling these painful afflictions.

In his latest book, Fox has unraveled the dual construct of personality development toward more accurate identification and effective intervention-now and for future generations.
