Coping with Drug Problems in the Family
by Lucy JolinDrug addiction is no longer - if indeed it ever has been - a problem confined to tower blocks and prisons. With an estimated 250,000 problematic drug users in the UK in every section of society, the UK has the highest levels of addiction and multi-drug consumption and the second-highest rate of drug-related deaths in Europe, according to a report on behalf of the UK Drug Policy Commission. Whether it's a son, husband, daughter or mother, having a problematic drug user in the family is disastrous. Family members have to deal with questions they never dreamed they'd have to answer. Should you continue to allow a drug user to live with you? What should you do if he or she steals from you? What's the best way to encourage him or her to seek treatment? Can you help him or her 'detox' by yourself? What are the health risks to the addict and his family? Why has he or she become addicted in the first place? And, most importantly, what help is available to help your family get through this? This book provides a simple, non-ideological guide for people whose families are affected by drug use. Topics include: defining addiction; types of drugs and what they do; how drug use impacts on the family; your feelings - how to cope; helping the addict; accessing further help - what's available both for families and for addicts.

Coping with Envy
by Windy DrydenEnvy can be a surprising dynamic in close relationships. Sometimes this is positive and may energise people so that they accomplish more than they would otherwise have - the urge to prove oneself to one's nearest and dearest can result in great personal fulfilment. However, carried too far, there's little doubt that envy causes many unwanted and unnecessary emotions, and interferes with everyday life, its achievements, accomplishments, and gifts. This book looks at envy as a force that can be directed to constructive effect. It explains how to use envy to motivate yourself and to accomplish your own personal goals; it also gives directions on how to recognise when enough is enough and you need to get off the envy train! It also explores what to do when someone close envies you - how far it's valuable to confront the person directly, and if so, the kinds of points you may want to make while airing the topic in conversation. Overall, the focus is on acceptance and integration rather than eradication.

Coping with Fears and Phobias: A CBT Guide to Understanding and Facing Your Anxieties (Coping With...)
by Warren MansellFear is a normal emotion. We all experience it when we are in danger (and sometimes when we're not!), but usually it is fleeting. For some, however, fear is more extreme and disruptive than this: approximately 10% of people have an anxiety disorder at any one time, only a tiny proportion of which receive appropriate psychological treatment. This book provides you with enough information about fear itself, and how to cope with it, that you can begin to reclaim your life. Dr. Warren Mansell, a clinical psychologist and lecturer with extensive experience in research on anxiety and phobias, writes accessibly and supportively. He provides real-life examples and many easy-to-learn techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), all of which will help you develop a lasting change: learning to accept your experiences, to draw on your strengths, and to develop your personal values. Learning to cope with fears and phobias can be challenging, but it is also an illuminating experience that will have a positive impact on all areas of your life. Dr. Warren Mansell is a clinical psychologist and Lecturer in Psychology at the University of Manchester.

Coraje: La alegría de vivir peligrosamente (Claves para una nueva forma de vivir #Volumen)
by Osho¡Desarrolla el coraje interno que te permita llevar una vida satisfactoria en cualquier situación! Este libro proporciona una perspectiva general del terreno en el que se originan los miedos, cómo entenderlos y cómo encontrar el coraje para vencerlos. «Coraje no es la ausencia de miedo», dice Osho. Por el contrario, es la total presencia del miedo y el valor para encararlo. Este libro proporciona una perspectiva general del terreno en el que se originan los miedos, cómo entenderlos y cómo encontrar el coraje para vencerlos. Osho propone que siempre que nos enfrentemos a la inseguridad y el cambio en nuestras vidas debemos celebrarlo. En lugar de aferrarnos a lo familiar y conocido, podemos aprender a disfrutar de estas situaciones como oportunidades para la aventura y para profundizar en la comprensión de nosotros mismos y del mundo que nos rodea. El libro comienza con una exploración en profundidad del significado de la palabra «coraje» y de cómo se expresa en la vida cotidiana de cada persona. A diferencia de otros libros, que tratan de acciones heroicas en circunstancias excepcionales, esta obra se centra en desarrollar el coraje interno que nos permita llevar una vida satisfactoria en cualquier situación. Es el coraje necesario para cambiar cuando el cambio es necesario, el coraje para defender nuestra propia verdad, incluso en contra de las opiniones de los demás, y el coraje para abrazar lo desconocido.
Coraje: Libera Tus Miedos E Inseguridades Y Conviertelos En Fuerza, Poder Y Libertad
by Debbie FordEn Coraje, Debbie Ford te muestra el sendero que te cambiará la vida y te permitirá confiar en ti mismo para expresarte sin miedo. Por décadas, Debbie Ford ha ayudado a gente a liberarse del equipaje emocional que los mantiene rehenes de sus propios pensamientos. Cuando te falta confianza, te sientes indigno de aquello que quieres, de hablar con la verdad, de tomar decisiones que mejoren tu vida. Cuando te sientes débil, indefenso o incapaz, no tienes la fuerza necesaria para rechazar los pensamientos de fracaso, negatividad y miedo que te impiden vivir en armonía con tus deseos más profundos. Aunque en momentos de oscuridad lo dudes, hay dentro de ti suficiente coraje y valentía para transformar tu vida. Cuando te aceptas como eres, incluyendo tu historia, tus fallas, tus dudas, tus debilidades y tus miedos, descubres que lo que te mantiene atado y débil no es nada más que la ilusión del pasado. Cuando aprendes a ser seguro, a guiarte por tus fortalezas y a sentirte bien contigo mismo, un nuevo tú emerge con el poder de lograr todo lo que te propones. En Coraje Debbie Ford ofrece su trabajo más personal, poderoso y práctico; recorre su vida y plantea momentos en los que estuvo en la cuerda floja, en los que sus miedos disfrazaban su seguridad y su sonrisa ocultaba penas y dudas, hasta que decidió que su vida valía más que aquello que aparentaba felicidad: viajes alrededor del mundo, compras de lujo y vuelos en jets privados. Debbie Ford decidió romper la oscuridad de su espíritu y descubrió siete principios que ahora brinda a sus lectores. Estos principios te mostrarán la luz que dibuja un camino que te aleja de tus inseguridades y miedos para guiarte hacia la fuerza, el poder y la libertad del coraje que vive en ti. Lo que han dicho otros autores: "Con una claridad inspiradora, Debbie Ford dibuja el proceso para la transformación y la integridad." - Deepak Chopra.
