John Wiley & Sons Inc Psychotherapy and Counselling: A Professional
Book SynopsisCynthia Rogers is interested in the stresses a psychotherapist encounters over the course of his or her professional life and how these might be addressed. Running a practice that provides a living is complex in itself, but how do people manage when life events or their own insecurities intrude. Psychotherapists with thriving practices know that, at some stage, they will have to confront a complain, suicide, a bad debt, a lack of referrals or deal with the impact of personal life events. These events are part of the territory and a way has to be found for professionals to take them in their stride however stressful they may be. Psychotherapists traditionally learn from experience and Rogers has distilled her own and others' experience to throw some light on the shadow side of a psychotherapist' s life. Experienced psychotherapists are emerging from the consulting room and becoming supervisors, trainers and consultants. They are also moving between private practice, GP surgeries and the voluntary sector. Rogers describes the demands of each setting and shows how to draw on new parts of one' s self and learn new ways of working at each move.Table of ContentsPersonal Professional Issues,.

Information Age Publishing Research on Teacher Stress: Implications for the
Book SynopsisThis volume informs our understanding of how educational settings can respond to the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond. Teaching has always been a challenging profession but the pandemic has added unprecedented levels of demands. Much of what we know about stress and trauma in education predates the COVID-19 pandemic.As the pandemic recedes, it seems likely that recruiting and retaining teachers, always a challenge, will become even more difficult. This could not be worse for students, who face steep losses in their academic and socio-emotional progress after more than two years of pandemic-impacted schooling. The silver lining is that scholars who study the occupational health have spent the past several years studying the effect of the pandemic on teachers, which led us to edit this volume to collected what is known and have these experts explain how we can better support teachers in the future.This book documents the many impacts of the pandemic on the teaching profession, but also leverages research to chart a path forward. Part I examines the contours of stress, with a particular emphasis on COVID-19 impacts. These contributions range from parents' achievement worries to compassion fatigue, and, more optimistically, how teachers cope. Part II examines pandemic impacts on pre-school teachers, in both the U.S. and in Australia. Given the social distancing in place during the pandemic, pre-school students and their teachers were under unique demands, as there is no substitute for the personal connection critical at that age. It is likely that students entering elementary school in the next few years will have work to do in their social skills. Part III focuses on mentoring and stress during the pandemic. Mentoring is an important part of teacher's professional development, but the pandemic scrambled traditional forms of mentoring as all teachers were thrown into unfamiliar online technology. The final section of this book, Part IV, includes links between teacher stress and trauma during the pandemic. Clearly, with the ongoing nature of the pandemic, it is easy to see how trauma is likely to manifest in years to come.Readers of this book will better understand teacher demands, as well as the resources teachers will need going forward. Teachers made heroic efforts during the pandemic to help their students both academically and personally. We owe to them to learn from research during the pandemic that points to the way to a healthier occupational future.

It will help you understand what is happening to you and teaches you how to overcome stress through exercises and strategies. If you use and practise the skills in this book, you will learn how to become your own stress management coach. For some people, using the skills in this book may be enough to become stress free. For others, the book will help to reduce the stress they experience. It is an invaluable tool for all.Trade Review'Having worked for many years in broadcast television, and, in particular live broadcasting, I am only too aware of a work environment where there is tremendous "pressure" and the real danger that "pressure" - which some may say is "good" stress - can easily turn to uncomfortable, bad, unproductive stress. When dealing with members of my team who have had problems with stress, I wish I had been able to refer them to Gladeana's book. Based on proven principles, full of practical exercises and accessible methods for dealing with stress, this book is a sensible, holistic, full-function tool guide to taking control of your working life, rather than letting it take control of you - I would recommend it to everyone.'- Nick Thorogood, Managing Director of Food Network EMEATable of ContentsAbout the author , Introduction , How Will This Book Help Me? , What is Stress? , Ways That Stress Can Show Itself , Becoming Stress Free , Stress-Free Thinking , Stress-Free Emotions , Stress-Free Actions , The Stress-Free Diet , What Type of Help is Available? , Useful Resources , Appendices , Contact Me

HarperCollins Publishers Inc Good Things Happen to People You Hate Essays
Book SynopsisTrade Review“Laugh-out-loud funny. Fishbein's essays are so fiercely honest, you'll find yourself wishing –– as I did –– that I'd only had this book to lean on sooner. Fishbein writes for the Jane Austen-obsessed soul, the virginal college wallflower, the drunk person waiting for a subway at 2 a.m., and so many more.” — Sarah Grant, Rolling Stone "In this incredibly titled essay collection, former Gothamist editor Rebecca Fishbein chronicles the ups and downs of living in New York, working in media, and getting by. With a funny but not cynical tone, Fishbein’s collection is the ideal companion for millennials making their way through a world that often seems poised for disaster, while trying to remain optimistic." — Refinery 29 "An essay collection that will definitely be discussed in your group chat, Good Things Happen to People You Hate is a relatable, conversational examination of all the things that make young adulthood suck so much — bad jobs, bad friends, bad partners, bad apartments, bad mental health — and an exploration of the societal harms that have made it so terrible." — Bustle “In the tradition of Samantha Irby and Sloane Crosley, this collection is a humorous look at life’s unfairness. Fishbein writes about trouble with jobs, bedbugs, fires, and cyber bullying. She covers struggles with alcohol, depression, anxiety, and failed relationships. She is honest and hilarious both, wittily capturing experiences shared by many.” — Book Riot “Good Things Happen to People You Hate explores the messiest of life circumstances -- sex, lust, anxiety, death, media layoffs, structure fires -- with precise, self-aware, mordantly funny prose. Fishbein resists the tidy conclusions and bland reassurances that so many outlets demand of young women writers, and what she arrives at is by turns darker, more exhilarating, and profoundly more interesting for it.” — Anna Merlan, author of Republic of Lies “Rebecca Fishbein has taken a scene rife with egotism, abuse, and narcissistic absurdities—that is, millennial New York media in the twenty-teens—and depicted it with knowingness, humor and a dogged compassion. Satirical, surprising, and sympathetic, Good Things Happen to People You Hate breathes new life into the personal essay. God, I love this book.” — Moira Donegan, The Guardian “Good Things Happen To People You Hate is a masterful and hilarious exploration of what it means to spend your 20s in NYC. Fishbein is able to describe universally painful human experiences - rejection, career turmoil, losing a home, losing a loved one - with humor and honesty. Reading it feels like catching up with a close friend who, despite having just suffered a bedbug infestation, is still able to make you laugh.” — Ginny Hogan, author of Toxic Femininity in the Workplace “Good Things Happen to People You Hate is like the friend you need for emergency drinks after a rough day. Rebecca’s take on the millennial experience, pop culture, and the heartbreak we walk straight into are insightful and so relatable they’ll make you worry she found your old Gchat logs." — Audrey Murray, author of Open Mic Night in Moscow

Penguin Books Ltd How to Calm Your Mind
Book SynopsisFrom the author of Hyperfocus, a treasure trove of practical, science-backed strategies that reveal how the key to a less anxious life, and even greater productivity, is a calm state of mind“After rebounding from his own burnout, Bailey devised a clear-eyed, concise method that marries science and self-help; he’s equally proficient in probing the roles of serotonin and endorphins while charting concrete steps in chapters titled ‘The Mindset of More’ and ‘Heights of Stimulation.’ Slow down, breathe, and submerge into these pages.” —Oprah Daily A PENGUIN LIFE BOOKIt took an on-stage panic attack for productivity expert Chris Bailey to recognize how critical it is to invest in calm at the same time that we invest in becoming more productive. Productivity advice works—and we need it now more than ever—but it’s just as vital that we develop our capacity for calm. By finTrade ReviewPraise for How to Calm Your Mind:“After rebounding from his own burnout, Bailey devised a clear-eyed, concise method that marries science and self-help; he’s equally proficient in probing the roles of serotonin and endorphins while charting concrete steps in chapters titled ‘The Mindset of More’ and ‘Heights of Stimulation.’ Slow down, breathe, and submerge into these pages.”—Oprah Daily"Bailey’s reckoning with productivity, and his revelation that 'investing in calm' is the secret to a truly productive life, may come as welcome news."—San Francisco Chronicle"This science-backed book guides readers to productivity during anxious times. . . . In How to Calm Your Mind, Bailey discusses how finding calm and reducing our mental load can lead to a more fulfilled life, and for those looking to become more engaged and focused, Bailey’s teachings can help."—Reader's Digest"Insightful."—Apple Books“How to Calm Your Mind is an oasis in a sea of productivity porn. It is the antidote for the chaos of our daily lives and the relentless pursuit of more at the expense of meaning. In this enlightening book, Bailey not only explains why finding calm matters, he provides a step-by-step guide for how to find it and keep it. Reading it will help you find balance between getting things done and doing things that matter.” —Samantha Boardman, MD, author of Everyday Vitality “How to Calm Your Mind inspires us to do the unimaginable—to remain calm in a world filled with stress and anxiety. Chris Bailey helps us understand why calm seems so hard to achieve, and then gives us the means to achieve it. This is a book that shows how to regain one's inborn resilience and tap into a calm mind to create a thriving life.” —Henry Emmons, MD, author of The Chemistry of Joy and The Chemistry of Calm“People have said that Chris is one of the most productive men you could hope to meet. Personally, I know him as one of the calmest. This book explains how both statements can be true for him, and how they can be true for you too.”—Cait Flanders, author of The Year of Less and Adventures in Opting OutPraise for Hyperfocus:“In this practical and widely applicable manual, Bailey identifies distraction as an endemic problem plaguing the business world, and just about every facet of modern life as well. . . . Highly germane to any fast-paced workplace, this book is a must-read for readers seeking to regain control of their ability to concentrate.” —Publishers Weekly“Becoming more productive isn’t about time management; it’s about attention management. I’d tell you more about that, but I lost my train of thought. Luckily this attention-grabbing book is here to help. Chris Bailey offers actionable, data-driven insights for sharpening your focus—and finding the right moments to blur it.” —Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again“The best productivity plans call for strategy, not just hacks or tactics—and Hyperfocus gives you strategy in spades. When you read this book, get ready to do your most important work!” —Chris Guillebeau, author of The $100 Startup, The Art of Non-Conformity, and The Happiness of Pursuit“There’s no question: your attention is your most valuable asset. Everything in your life—your experience of life—comes from your attention. And Hyperfocus will teach you how to use this tool, how to hone it, leverage it, and even enjoy it. Pay attention to Chris Bailey—this book is well worth the focus.” —Peter Bregman, author of 18 Minutes “Attention may be the most important asset of the twenty-first century. Hyperfocus takes decades of scientific insights and pairs them with practical applications to show us how best to manage and multiply our attention.” —David Burkus, author of Under New Management and Friend of a Friend“I read Hyperfocus on my phone . . . but this book was so engaging I stopped checking email entirely! I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to do more of what matters in a distracted world.” —Laura Vanderkam, author of What the Most Successful People Do Before Breakfast and 168 Hours“Let me guess. You’re like me. You don’t have time to read this book. Or any book! Who has time for books anymore? Well, that’s perfect. Because it means you have the disease. And right now you’re holding the cure.” —Neil Pasricha, author of The Book of Awesome and The Happiness Equation “Hyperfocus does a remarkable job of unpacking the realities, obstacles, and best practices of managing the subtle but ever-present world of our conscious attention. All of us can get better at how, when, and on what we focus. This is an extraordinary, eye-opening, and research-based report of what affects us in this regard, and how to take advantage of this information to achieve greater satisfaction in our lives.
