Breathing as a Tool for Self-Regulation and Self-Reflection by Paivi Lehtinen,Minna Martin,Maila Seppa,Tina Toro Pdf

The book describes how to use breathing as a medium for self-regulation and self-reflection and how balanced breathing thus helps to promote mental and physical health and alleviate symptoms resulting from imbalanced breathing. The authors describe applications of psychophysical breathing therapy in many areas of life, developed by both themselves and other professionals trained by them. The approach of the book is based on the interactional aspects between mind and body. A person's breathing style influences their relation both to themselves and to others - and vice versa, and thus mental and also physical health. A comprehensive theoretical description of the psychophysical regulation of breathing and the consequences of imbalanced breathing is complemented by material derived from the authors' extensive clinical experience. Psychological orientations used by the writers include object relations theories, and psychodynamic, cognitive, brief and group therapy theories. As a new aspect the writers introduce how breathing patterns are learnt in early interaction. The writers also acknowledge how physical factors affect and interact with psychological factors in producing imbalanced breathing.

The writers also acknowledge how physical factors affect and interact with psychological factors in producing imbalanced breathing.Psychophysical breathing exercises seek to restore natural breathing appropriate to the physical needs of the body. People are helped to observe and assess sensations, emotions, and thoughts in connection with changes in breathing, thus learning in a very concrete way how mind and body interact. A key aim of the exercises is to increase the awareness of how breathing reacts in interpersonal interaction. That is why the writers prefer group therapy. A prerequisite to learning new ways of breathing is that the person feels she and her breathing are accepted as they are. Learning to calm down is another key aspect in the therapy. Instead of anatomical concepts mental images are used."--Provided by publisher.

Leadership as Performance by Marco Aponte-Moreno Pdf

Leadership as Performance: Developing Leadership Skills through Acting is based on the premise that leadership is a performance, a role played by leaders to inspire followers to achieve a shared goal. The book explores how acting techniques can facilitate the development of leadership skills.

The book is divided into three parts. The first part explores the metaphor of leadership as a performance and the fundamentals of both leadership and acting. The second part elaborates on the SPACE model by showing how each of the five key leadership skills can be developed with acting techniques. The final part explores how improvisation can help leaders adapt to change, work with teams, and foster creativity and innovation. It also discusses the role of visionary leadership in inspiring others and creating a shared purpose. Readers are provided with tools to build on their skills through a range of pedagogy, including a set of self-reflective questions in each chapter, acting-based exercises and improvisations in the most practical chapters, and discussions of cases of well-known leaders.

Treating Adult Survivors of Childhood Emotional Abuse and Neglect by Elizabeth K. Hopper,Frances K. Grossman,Joseph Spinazzola,Marla Zucker Pdf

"Component-based psychotherapy for childhood abuse is not a sequenced model, but it deliberately attends to the following four components: (1) relational, focused on client and therapist attachment styles and relational patterns with the intent of building a secure attachment as the context of the remaining work; (2) self-regulation, not only of emotions but of cognitions and behavior; (3) dissociative parts of self and their identification and elicitation; and (4) narrative construction of a coherent self. CPB does so in a way that is client-centered, flexible, and fluid, yet it is also systematic and has a structure. Each chapter offers observations of false starts, missed opportunities, pivotal interactions, and alternate approaches in response to particular exchanges between therapist and client, and highlights and builds upon interactions and interpretations perceived to bear promise"--

As the millennial generation moves into their parenting years, posting on social media about milestones, memories, and good times is almost second nature.

Parent Guide: Parent Guide: Handling and Preventing Conflicts by Robert Myers, PhD Pdf

Parenting is both rewarding and challenging. All first-time parents are only partially prepared to embrace the joys and struggles of parenting. Also, each child, no matter where they are in the birth order in a family, is a unique being, requiring parents to adapt their parenting style to meet the needs and navigate the challenges of each child. The book's information and suggestions are based on the latest research and best practice recommendations in child development and clinical child and adolescent psychology. They also come from the author's experience as a child, adolescent, father, grandfather, clinical child and adolescent psychologist, and educator for child psychology doctoral students and child psychiatry fellows. The first three chapters cover what to expect in each stage of normal development, which provides perspective on what to expect as a child moves from toddler to high schooler. Knowing what to expect provides guidelines for providing appropriate nurturing and structure for each stage of development. Human behavior is all about the brain. Once parents understand the basics of neurodevelopment, they can encourage and support the healthy development of critical executive functions that enable children to learn, adapt to change, interact appropriately with others, and navigate the challenges and disappointments in life. Also, continuously focusing on building and growing connectedness and supporting a healthy lifestyle for all family members substantially contributes to each member's general well-being and for the family unit's good. Chapters four through eight help parents and children develop skills for mutually beneficial interaction. These skills will allow you to avoid and work through conflicts when necessary. Chapters nine through eleven provide how-to guides for handling common parent-child conflict scenarios. Each chapter provides examples and easy-to-follow steps to implement the suggestions for each stage of development: toddler, preschool, school-age, middle school, and high school. The appendix provides guidance on when to seek professional help, links to valuable resources, and directions and charts for implementing evidence-based solutions for parent-child and family problems and promoting positive relationships.

Learning to Breathe by Patricia C. Broderick Pdf

A fully revised and updated second edition, including new research and skills in the areas of trauma and compassion Disruptive behavior in the classroom, poor academic performance, and out-of-control emotions: if you work with adolescents, you are well-aware of the challenges this age group presents, as well as how much time can be lost on your lessons while dealing with this behavior. What if there was a way to calm these students down and arm them with the mindfulness skills needed to really excel in school and life? Written by mindfulness expert and licensed clinical psychologist Patricia C. Broderick, Learning to Breathe is a secular program that tailors the teaching of mindfulness to the developmental needs of adolescents to help them understand their thoughts and feelings and manage distressing emotions. Students will be empowered by learning important mindfulness meditation skills that help them improve emotion regulation, reduce stress, improve overall performance, and, perhaps most importantly, develop their attention. Since its publication nearly a decade ago, the L2B program has transformed classrooms across the US, and has received praise from educators, parents, and mental health professionals alike. This fully revised and updated second edition offers the same powerful mindfulness interventions, and includes compelling new research and skills in the areas of trauma and compassion. The book integrates certain themes of mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn, into a program that is shorter, more accessible to students, and compatible with school curricula. This easy-to-use manual is designed to be used by teachers, but can also be used by any mental health provider teaching adolescents emotion regulation, stress reduction and mindfulness skills. The book is structured around six themes built upon the acronym BREATHE, and each theme has a core message: Body, Reflection, Emotions, Attention, Tenderness, and Healthy Mind Habits, and Empowerment. Along with The Learning to Breathe Student Workbook, this is the perfect tool for empowering students as they grapple with the psychological tasks of adolescence.
