Håndtering af angst, fobier og andre mentale tilstande

Relationer, klimaet, kroppen, skolen, sociale medier, fremtiden, livet – der findes meget, som kan vække angst. Angst kan føles som alt fra en kriller i maven til fuldt ud panik eller et tungt, klistrende tæppe, der lægger sig over hele éns verden. Men hvad er angst egentligt? Hvad kan du gøre for at håndtere den? Hvornår er det tid til at søge hjælp, og hvor kan du så finde den?ANGST FOR ALLE fortæller dig mere om angst. Psykologen Sandra Ringarp hjælper dig med at sortere i tanker, følelser, og hvad der sker i kroppen, så oplevelsen bliver mindre skræmmende. Du vil lære, hvad der hæver og sænker tærsklen for angst, og hvad du kan gøre, når du først har angst. For angst er almindeligt og menneskeligt. Tegneren Marie Tillman illustrerer de forskellige former for angst med afvæbnende sort humor. Bogen rækker ud til dig, som er teenager eller ung voksen, men kan også læses af alle andre, som har angst.

Hjernero handler i al sin enkelthed om at tænke mindre. Om at give slip på bekymringer, tankemylder og overtænkning. Hjernen kan som udgangspunkt klare forholdsvis store mængder pres og stress, og i følge forfatterne skal vi heller ikke være bekymrede for at opleve stress. Det kan vi ikke undgå at opleve i perioder, tænk bare på en vigtig deadline på jobbet eller en dag, hvor du løber fra det ene møde til det andet. Det vigtige er til gengæld, at hjernen får en pause. Derfor handler Hjernero om at lægge unødvendige bekymringer fra sig og give slip på tankemylder og overtænkning, så hjernen kan genoplade. Det kan virke lettere sagt en gjort, for hvad gør man, når en tanke først har sat sig fast, eller en bekymring nager? Udgivelsen er en storskrift-udgave til svagsynede i serien MAGNUMBØGER Lindhardt og Ringhof.

The ALBERTINA modern exhibition presents Alfred Kubin's view of the world of evil, the predominant theme of his life and work. The aesthetics of evil prove to be the antithesis of a tranquil idyll for him, one of the most outstanding drawing artists of the twentieth century. Trapped in his fantasies, he finds himself confronted with uncanny dream apparitions and a pronounced fear of the feminine, the night, and fate. This catalogue explores Kubin's graphic cosmos of the ominous, his nightmares and obsessions and the iconography of evil. ALFRED KUBIN (1877-1959) was an important Austrian draughtsman and graphic artist. In 1898, after a traumatic childhood in Zell am See and a series of mental crises, he began his artistic training in Munich. Kubin worked through his nightmares and obsessions in a large number of fantastic drawings.

A brave and captivating graphic memoir about the power of therapy to heal anxiety and generational traumaWhen Sacha Mardou turned forty-years-old, she was leading a life that looked perfect on the outside: happily married to the love of her life, enjoying motherhood and her six-year-old daughter, and her first book had just been published. But for reasons she couldn’t explain, the anxiety that had always plagued her only seemed to be getting worse and then, without warning, she began breaking out in terrible acne.The product of a stoic, working-class British family, Sacha had a deeply seeded distrust of mental health treatment, but now, living the life she’d built in the US and desperate for relief, she finds herself in a therapist’s office for the first time. There she begins the real work of growing up: learning to understand her family of origin and the childhood trauma she thought she’d left hidden in the past but is still entangled in her present life.Past Tense takes us inside Sacha’s therapy sessions, which over time become life-changing: She begins to come to terms with her turbulent and complicated upbringing, which centered around her now estranged father, who had a violent relationship with her mother and would later go to prison for sexually abusing her stepsister. With her therapist’s guidance, she sees how these wounds and other generational trauma has been passed through her family as far back as her grandmother’s experiences during The Blitz of World War Two. And she discovers modalities that powerfully shape her healing along the way, including the work of Bessel Van der Kolk and Richard Schwartz (Internal Family Systems).As Sacha’s emotional life begins to unfreeze and she lets go of the shame she’s long held, she realizes that the work she’s doing and her love for her family can ripple outward too, changing her relationships now, and creating a new legacy for her daughter.Bravely told, visceral, and profoundly moving, Past Tense is a story about our power to break free of the past--once and for all--and find hope.

Inspired by his own transformation from feeling left out to leading others, career coach and communications advisor Michale Thompson shares 12 easy-to-grasp principles that flip conventional wisdom and provide shy people with the communication skills they need to own their voice, build relationships, and grow their influence.

A psychologist confronts our pervasive misunderstanding of anxiety and presents a powerful new framework for reimagining and reclaiming the confounding emotion as the advantage it evolved to be.We taught people that anxiety is dangerous and damaging, and that the solution to its pain is to eradicate it like we do any disease--prevent it, avoid it, and stamp it out at all costs. Yet cutting-edge therapies, hundreds of self-help books, and a panoply of medications have failed to keep debilitating anxiety at bay. A third of us will struggle with anxiety disorders in our lifetime and rates in children and adults continue to skyrocket.That's because the anxiety-as-disease story is false--and it's harming us.In this radical reinterpretation, Dr. Tracy Dennis-Tiwary argues that anxiety is an evolved advantage that protects us and strengthens our creative and productive powers. Although it's related to stress and fear, it's uniquely valuable--allowing us to imagine the uncertain future and compelling us to make that future better. That's why anxiety is inextricably linked to hope.By distilling the latest research in psychology and neuroscience, including her own, combining it with real-world stories and personal narrative, Dennis-Tiwary shows how we can acknowledge the discomfort of anxiety and see it as a tool, rather than something to be feared and reviled. Detailing the terrible cost of our misunderstanding of anxiety, while celebrating the lives of people who harness it to their advantage, she argues that we can--and must--learn to be anxious in the right way.Future Tense blazes the way for a paradigm shift in how we relate to and understand anxiety in our day-to-day lives--a fresh set of beliefs and insights that allow us to explore and leverage even very distressing anxiety rather than to be overwhelmed by it. Through this new prism of thinking, even anxiety disorders can be alleviated. Achieving a new mindset will not fix anxiety itself--because the emotion of anxiety is not broken; the way we cope with it is. By challenging our long-held assumptions about anxiety, this book provides a concrete framework for how to reclaim it for what it has always been--a gift rather than a curse, and a source of inner strength, joy, and ingenuity.
