Overcoming a Mysterious Condition
by Don ShetterlyIn 1991, Don Shetterly found himself caught in a medical nightmare that felt like it would never end. A mysterious condition suddenly came on that left him paralyzed—unable to walk and barely able to speak. Pseudoseizures, a multiple sclerosis misdiagnosis, and multiple emergency room and doctor visits left his family wondering how to help him. With no organic cause of his condition and no manual showing the way through it, Don was left to deal with depression, anxiety, and suicide attempts from the trauma he endured. <p><p>In Overcoming A Mysterious Condition, Don shares the concepts that helped him heal his life. It was a journey through all he thought was truth into a discovery of the healing resilience of the human mind and body. This book takes us further into healing than what we most likely know today. Are you ready to take the journey and have your life changed?
Overcoming Adversity: How Energy Tapping Transforms Your Life's Worst Experiences: A Primer for Post-Traumatic Growth
by Caroline SakaiIn the gut-wrenching stories of patients told by psychologist Dr. Caroline Sakai in this riveting book, you'll see the full range of human misery. Stories range from that of Josh, suicidal after fighting depression for years to Angelique, whose entire village was slaughtered during the Rwandan genocide. Yet both Josh and Angelique, as well as two dozen others whose cases are told in fascinating detail, recovered completely. The remarkable cure that worked so well for them is called Thought Field Therapy or TFT. It's often called "tapping" since it involves tapping with the fingertips on acupuncture points. A recent group of studies has shown that TFT is phenomenally effective at treating the symptoms of post traumatic stress disorder, as well as anxiety, depression, and other mental health conditions. Dr. Sakai has conducted much research into TFT, including several randomized controlled trials. She provides an expert introduction to tapping for beginners, as well as concluding with a section that shows professionals how to get the best results from TFT. It shows how TFT can promote post traumatic growth, the personal transformation that can result from traumatic experiences. It also shows how TFT can be used to promote resilience, the qualities that enable us to recover from life's inevitable challenges.

Overcoming Anxiety For Dummies
by Elaine Iljon Foreman Charles H. Elliott Laura L. SmithThere are many forms of anxiety disorder, including General Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Panic Attacks, Phobias (including social anxiety), Obsessive Compulsive Disorders, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, and Acute Stress Disorder. Even in their most mild forms, these disorders can be troubling and exhausting - at worst they can severely disable a person's ability to function in day-to-day life. Severe anxiety and phobic disorders affect 18% of the UK population. (nopanic.org.uk)Symptoms of anxiety range from the mental and emotional - depression, having difficulty concentrating, losing patience easily - to the physical - excessive thirst, headaches, pins and needles, and more (www.bbc.co.uk) Often the problem is self-feeding - people try to keep things under control whilst simultaneously worrying about being anxious all the time, and the cycle goes on. Psychotherapy, medication and self help are the key treatments for anxiety - however, as many people either don't have access to, or choose not to take, professional treatment, self help is the key for a majority of sufferers. A Dummies book on the subject will present the facts without the jargon, and help people find the trustworthy guidance they need.
