Coping with Epilepsy
by Pamela CrawfordEpilepsy, traditionally the Cinderella of medicine, now has a higher profile thanks to the efforts of the World Health Organisation who have led a campaign called Out of the Shadows, to make the public more aware of the condition. In particular, there has been much more awareness of the plight of women with epilepsy and their reproductive health, especially the problem of certain anti-convulsant medications and their effects on the unborn child. This new edition strengthens the focus on women and gives a strong update on drugs and surgery, a sometimes neglected but modern approach which may actually cure epilepsy.

The sources vary, but for most teens, two main agents are involved: brain chemistry and life changes. The same hormonal activity that brings about the body changes teens experience also triggers changes in your brain. At the same time, your relationships with your family and friends are changing, you have more responsibilities and freedoms than ever before, and you face a whole new set of pressures. All these things can turn your life into a series of emotional peaks and valleys. But there is hope. This book will help you understand what's happening to you--and it will offer practical coping mechanisms. Don't worry. You too can survive the roller coaster!

Coping with breast cancer
by Laura CarraraFrom the moment you receive a diagnosis of cancer, life changes. At that moment, it is like a bolt from the blue. There are many states of mind that are lived, from fear to impotence, from anger to despair. Every woman, however, has a great vital force within herself that she brings out more than ever in critical moments and which helps her to overcome even such a hard and complex path. In this period of continuous checks, treatments and surgical procedures, women often find themselves having to make decisions, to make choices, exactly when they have to concentrate all their strength and thoughts on themselves. This book is based both on personal and professional experiences, which I had as a psychologist in the medical oncology, breast surgery and imaging breast diagnostic units. It has been conceived as a helping support for women who must undergo breast surgery or have already undergone it, to obtain some practical and psychological suggestions for dealing better with the surgical-medical path. Reading this text will be useful also to relatives and friends, who often do not know how to react and who feel much more powerless than the woman herself does. The covered topics concern: Packing the bag for the hospitalization, with the specific tricks foreseen for the breast surgical intervention. An overview on the main therapies and some useful precautions to reduce the symptoms of the therapies (chemo, radiotherapy, hormone therapy) or to better live with them (pieces of information about wigs and turbans, etc.; the targeted use of makeup). Psychological suggestion regarding the relationship with one's children, relatives and friends. Suggestions to relatives and friends on how to behave with a breast-operated woman. The basic rules to find psychological wellness. Effective communication techniques. Stress management. A mention of civil and work rights for cancer patients.
Coraje: La alegría de vivir peligrosamente
by Osho OshoCoraje no es la ausencia de miedo, dice Osho. Por el contrario, es la total presencia del miedo y el valor para encararlo. Este libro proporciona una perspectiva general del terreno en el que se originan los miedos, cómo entenderlos, y como encontrar el coraje para encararlos. Osho propone que siempre que nos enfrentemos con la inseguridad y el cambio en nuestras vidas, debemos celebrarlo. Enlugar de aferrarnos a lo familiar y conocido, podemos aprender a disfrutar de estas situaciones como oportunidades para la aventuray para profundizar en nuestra comprensión de nosotros mismos y del mundo que nos rodea.El libro comienza con una exploración en profundidad del significado de la palabra coraje y de cómo se expresa en la vida cotidiana de cada persona. A diferencia de otros libros, que tratan de acciones heroicas de valentía en circunstancias excepcionales, el foco aquí está dirigido a desarrollar el coraje interno que nos permita llevar una vida satisfactoria en cualquier situación. Es el coraje necesario para cambiar, cuando el cambio es necesario, el coraje para defender nuestra propia verdad, incluso en contra de las opiniones de los demás, y el coraje para abrazar lo desconocido.
Coraje: Libera Tus Miedos E Inseguridades Y Conviertelos En Fuerza, Poder Y Libertad
by Debbie FordEn Coraje, Debbie Ford te muestra el sendero que te cambiará la vida y te permitirá confiar en ti mismo para expresarte sin miedo. Por décadas, Debbie Ford ha ayudado a gente a liberarse del equipaje emocional que los mantiene rehenes de sus propios pensamientos. Cuando te falta confianza, te sientes indigno de aquello que quieres, de hablar con la verdad, de tomar decisiones que mejoren tu vida. Cuando te sientes débil, indefenso o incapaz, no tienes la fuerza necesaria para rechazar los pensamientos de fracaso, negatividad y miedo que te impiden vivir en armonía con tus deseos más profundos. Aunque en momentos de oscuridad lo dudes, hay dentro de ti suficiente coraje y valentía para transformar tu vida. Cuando te aceptas como eres, incluyendo tu historia, tus fallas, tus dudas, tus debilidades y tus miedos, descubres que lo que te mantiene atado y débil no es nada más que la ilusión del pasado. Cuando aprendes a ser seguro, a guiarte por tus fortalezas y a sentirte bien contigo mismo, un nuevo tú emerge con el poder de lograr todo lo que te propones. En Coraje Debbie Ford ofrece su trabajo más personal, poderoso y práctico; recorre su vida y plantea momentos en los que estuvo en la cuerda floja, en los que sus miedos disfrazaban su seguridad y su sonrisa ocultaba penas y dudas, hasta que decidió que su vida valía más que aquello que aparentaba felicidad: viajes alrededor del mundo, compras de lujo y vuelos en jets privados. Debbie Ford decidió romper la oscuridad de su espíritu y descubrió siete principios que ahora brinda a sus lectores. Estos principios te mostrarán la luz que dibuja un camino que te aleja de tus inseguridades y miedos para guiarte hacia la fuerza, el poder y la libertad del coraje que vive en ti. Lo que han dicho otros autores: "Con una claridad inspiradora, Debbie Ford dibuja el proceso para la transformación y la integridad." - Deepak Chopra.

Core Awareness, Revised Edition
by Bob Cooley Emilie Conrad Liz KochCore Awareness, Revised Edition: Enhancing Yoga, Pilates, Exercise, and Dance offers a guide to Core Awareness, a body-oriented approach that explores the practice of bringing focus and attention to inner sensation as the means of cultivating an innate capacity for expressive movement. Developed by somatic educator and author Liz Koch, the book's Core Awareness movements, stretches, and mindfulness explorations are designed to enhance sensory development and shift readers from the standard paradigm of the body as an "isolated object" to a holistic paradigm of the human being as part of a living process of dynamic expression. This shift in perspective offers practitioners and teachers of movement, yoga, pilates, bodywork, exercise, and dance an empowering model for self-healing and the key to increasing strength, gaining flexibility, preventing injury, and improving resiliency.Describing the practice of moving from one's core, Koch highlights the importance of engaging the psoas muscle--located on either side of the spine--to integrate the body, mind, emotion, and spirit. Koch also discusses the pelvis as the foundation of our physical core and the vital connection with our bones to gain a sense of support, nourishment, joint integrity, skeletal balance, and healthy muscle tone. Rewritten with updated information, this revised edition includes 247 new photos and 25 new Core Awareness explorations--with 64 in total. A suggested reading list at the end of the book provides resources for continuing the development of the ideas presented within the book.From the Trade Paperback edition.
