Better Days - A Mental Health Recovery Workbook by Craig Lewis Pdf

This book helps those aspiring toward recovery and wellness and also those in recovery, because it addresses and challenges the individual - in very real, basic and honest ways - to make significant cognitive adjustments in how they live their lives. The beauty of this curriculum is that people like to do it and don't consider it a chore, a demand, or a requirement, because every page subtly encourages the individual to think in realistic and forward-moving ways. This allows them to feel good about doing the work. This book is for any person who struggles with their mental health and who wants to live a happier life as well as for any person who wants to improve their quality of life, how they deal with stress, obstacles, difficulties and other people and live a happier, healthy and much more stable life. I based this book on my personal life and recovery, and every page has been used successfully in peer group settings.

Safety in the Body by Erin Byron Pdf

Complete recovery from most mental health issues is possible—and safety is the first step! Mental health issues exist throughout our brains and bodies. Most people think it takes years of expensive therapy to make any progress. Recent research shows how efficient it can be, with the right guide, to resolve anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress. In Safety in the Body, Erin Byron, a registered psychotherapist and yoga therapist trainer, gives readers the power to direct their body, mind, emotions, and beliefs away from continual traumatisation. Erin explains that finding a whole-body sense of safety while experiencing post-traumatic stress, anxiety, or depression brings us closer to a present, authentic, healthy life. Consciously practising safety with the help of breath and mindfulness exercises reprograms the brain and nervous system to regulate, which balances our body and mind. With time, patience, and commitment, this carries us towards a life free from trauma, anxiety, depression, and high sensitivity. A handbook for people moving beyond mental health issues and those working with them, Safety in the Body is full of strategies and activities. This book is based on yoga, expressive arts, empirical evidence, and neurophysiology. It helps build the neural, spiritual, and psychological pathways of integration, empowerment, and safety.

The Overcoming Bulimia Workbook by Randi E. McCabe,Tracy L. McFarlane,Marion P. Olmsted Pdf

Severe dieting often results in periods of reactive binge eating, a phenomenon experienced by one in twenty American women. Responses to these periods may include prolonged fasting, self-induced vomiting, abuse of laxatives and diuretics, and obsessive exercise: all symptoms of bulimia. This workbook contains tools to help bulimics break the cycle of bingeing and reacting, allowing them to take control of their lives and make positive behavior changes. Practical advice and real-life examples reinforce attitudes and offer encouragement. Discover that it is possible to overcome the disorder and live a happier, more fulfilling life. Through their cutting-edge research at the internationally renown Toronto Hospital Eating Disorders Programme, the authors of The Overcoming Bulimia Workbook have developed a step-by-step program for recovery whose efficacy has been proven in clinical trials. The authors empower bulimia suffers to take control of their lives, not only by providing information and advice, but by giving them a personalized format with which they can put these new behavior changes into practice - a process that is critically important for lasting recovery. This comprehensive guide covers everything from bulimia's symptoms, causes, and risks to how to normalize eating, shift eating-disordered thoughts, build on personal strengths, improve self-esteem, deal with underlying issues, prevent relapse, and understand what medications can help. With many real-life examples, this book also helps readers learn through the experiences of other sufferers how to overcome their disorder and live a happier, more fulfilled life.
