Why not use the summer to catch up on some summer reading. More importantly, use it to tackle those habits and traps that hold you back. Here are four books that can help you: Beyond Your Confines: The key to free your mind Beyond Your Confines introduces you to the mental prisons we create for ourselves, including our intolerance of uncertainty and the narrative fallacies we create. Some argue that the growth in technology has trapped us further in these mental prisons, so now, more than ever, we need to reach beyond our confines to free our minds and benefit from our inner wisdom and natural rhythms. Beyond Your Confines: The Workbook Based on the popular Beyond Your Confines comes the invaluable companion guide to using your nervous system to free your mind. Empowering, resourceful, a practical guide all in one, Beyond Your Confines: The Workbook is an essential guide to using your nervous system to break free of your mental prison and free your mind. The Beast of Gloom: A children's book about depression. Help your child learn that difficult feelings are inevitable, and how you respond to it makes all the difference. Compassion and talking to others are just two of the strategies suggested in this book. Beautifully illustrated by Theodore Key, with words from a psychotherapist, this is an essential guide to help kids realize that it doesn’t have to be scary to talk to children about depression. Help them to learn about how to recognize depression, and what to do about it. Beyond the Blue A survival guide to depression, anxiety, relationship conflict, and trauma.

Loneliness and the queer experience7/23/2024 Loneliness defines a queer or trans experience. There is a struggle to come to terms with an identity that doesn't fit expectations, and at first this is something that is struggled with alone. Then there is the catch-22 experience that concealing an identity can compound distress, whereas 'coming out' can increase risk of hostile reactions, the loss of employment, social groups, etc. The risk for loneliness and social isolation is compounded when someone then experiences violence or other hostility due to their identity. Isolation and avoidance are seen as coping strategies that can end up being overly used in response to such hostile experiences. Many professionals advocate social connection as an essential component to mental health. However, there is a need to assess the quality of those social connections, especially for the queer and trans experience. hashtag#loneliness hashtag#queer hashtag#trans hashtag#mentalhealth  Beyond Powerlessness7/15/2024 Written by psychotherapist Chris Warren-Dickins, these journal prompts offer a chance for you to regain a sense of autonomy over your life.
