Dancing Through The Darkness: The Cognitive Treatment of Shame
This book offers a self-help text and a cognitive approach to overcoming shame. A mini-survey was conducted to bring clarity and personal definition to the emotion of shame. The survey yielded many different situations and contexts in which an individual experiences shame. The difference between shame and guilt and shame as a feeling vs. an emotion was explored. The text mostly focused on shame as an emotion or identity. The paradigm offers that shame is a learned behavior that can be unlearned. The influences that assist in the development of shame are presented. The thought-feeling or faulty learning model is presented with ways to change thought patterns. The book examines the connections between a shameful identity, depression, anxiety, and addictions. The issue of how shame plays out in relational choices is examined, with a plan for change. Practical approaches to working through shame are offered. The importance of forgiveness, acceptance, and love is specified.
The emotion of shame is poorly defined, thus the approach of offering a personal definition of shame. The core issue of abandonment has been a presenting theme in all individuals who suffer from shame. Fear of rejection is a top layer of abandonment issues. The book offers some helpful paradigm shifts, for consideration. This book offers a self-help approach with easy exercises to assist the individual in change. In this very simple text, she guides the reader through understanding shame, recognizing the sources of shame, and learning new behaviors.
ADHD: A Guide To Natural Healing
The number of children treated with stimulant medications for the condition of ADHD continues to rise. Many parents are interested in a natural approach that offers a comprehensive system to address underlying factors, as opposed to a symptom reduction approach. Medications are not considered a cure-all; however, many families are disappointed with the results and are recognizing the need to offer other support systems to assist their children to create balance in their lives.
This book will allow you to: dispel the myth that your child must be on stimulant medication, learn a natural system of healing for the condition of ADHD,
apply deep healing versus a “quick fix” approach to treating ADHD,
explore how diet and nutrition, environmental factors, and a fast-paced lifestyle create ADHD symptoms, utilize behavioral approaches to maintain appropriate behavior,
examine the importance of creating a healthy identity in yourself and your child,
assess your child’s social skills across development,
assess your child’s risk factors for suicidal thinking and behavior to use in support of professional intervention, and teach a mind, body, and spirit model of wellness that will last a lifetime. Currently, there is no cure for ADHD; however, following the simple natural systems approach as offered by Dr. Steffen can assist you in directing your child’s energy toward health and life balance.
