Boundaries can be a real challenge. Do you drop what we're doing to help a friend - again - or leave her to sort out the mess she created? And isn't it easier to do other people's work for them than to deal with the fallout when you hold them accountable? It's easy to get sucked into other people's dramas, even when you already have enough of your own. How do you know when you're being played? And how do you gracefully put a stop to it - or, better yet, avoid it in the first place? There are no easy answers ... but there are some principles that can help you to make the right choices. Read this simple, practical guide and you'll learn: * 6 things manipulators won't tell you about what they really want from you; * 4 questions you must ask yourself when someone wants something from you; * 7 things you must think about before choosing your response; * 8 things to consider before going along "just this once"; * 8 emotions that stop us in our tracks; * 14 lies that stop you from standing up for yourself; and * The 4 mistakes you can't afford to make when you're dealing with unreasonable people. Decide for yourself! Rather than tell you what boundaries to set, this book shows you what's really going on in some of life's most difficult moments. Once you see through the guilt, the games and the drama - and understand what's going on in yourself - you can feel confident choosing the boundaries that are right for you. If you've been struggling with how much to do for others, with when to say "yes" and when to say "no", this simple little book is just what you need. It can help you to identify - and take - those essential first steps. Start reading today!

“The most helpful book on childhood anxiety I have ever read.”—Michael Thompson, Ph.D. Whether it’s the monster in the closet or the fear that arises from new social situations, school, or sports, anxiety can be especially challenging and maddening for children. And since anxiety has a mind of its own, logic and reassurance often fail, leaving parents increasingly frustrated about how to help. Now Lawrence J. Cohen, Ph.D., the author of Playful Parenting, provides a special set of tools to handle childhood anxiety. Offering simple, effective strategies that build connection through fun, play, and empathy, Dr. Cohen helps parents • start from a place of warmth, compassion, and understanding • teach children the basics of the body’s “security system”: alert, alarm, assessment, and all clear. • promote tolerance of uncertainty and discomfort by finding the balance between outright avoidance and “white-knuckling” through a fear • find lighthearted ways to release tension in the moment, labeling stressful emotions on a child-friendly scale • tackle their own anxieties so they can stay calm when a child is distressed • bring children out of their anxious thoughts and into their bodies by using relaxation, breathing, writing, drawing, and playful roughhousing With this insightful resource of easy-to-implement solutions and strategies, you and your child can experience the opposite of worry, anxiety, and fear and embrace connection, trust, and joy.

Loving The Addict is based on a true story. This story has everything from love , lust , hate, dominance, obsession, sex, police chases, drug lords, violence , abuse, deceit, betrayal and most of all survival. Know one understood the power that Jake controlled over my heart. A Spell some would say that could not be broken. An addiction I would say. In the beginning the motivation behind writing the book Loving The Addict was a jotting down in a journal as self therapy to cope with what happened to me., and was used to help me deal with the abuse that had occurred in my life "Loving the Addict was an incredible read from beginning to end, not just because it is a page turner but because it is a true story about intense, compelling and emotional subject matter that morphs into a honest insight into survival and ultimately personal redemption. When I read the book I couldn't put it down. The story of Jake and Brenda has so many layers that it keeps you constantly guessing what the highs and lows are going to bring. The complexities of both characters and Brenda's personal points of view make for an amazing read but also a change of insight and perception of the core themes: love, addiction and domestic violence." -Natalie
