Rachael Stewart: Well, That Was a Doozy! A Therapist's Guide to Participating in Life's Unexpected Moments, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Life rarely asks permission before changing everything. One moment, you feel like you have a plan. The next, you're grieving, rebuilding, parenting, navigating relationships, questioning yourself, or simply trying to figure out how you got here. Well, That Was a Doozy! is a therapist's guide to participating in life's unexpected moments without letting those moments convince you that you have to control everything, fix everything, or have everything figured out. Through personal stories, therapeutic insight, humor, faith, and honest reflection, Rachael Stewart, LCSW, explores what happens when life does not go according to plan-and what it means to keep showing up anyway. From grief and anxiety to relationships, identity, control, belonging, security, and learning how to rest, this book invites you to look at your own story with curiosity rather than judgment. Rachael brings the perspective of a therapist while remaining firmly in the role of a fellow human being who has had her own share of unexpected moments. Because sometimes the goal isn't to avoid the storm. Sometimes it's learning how to enjoy the garden without becoming the weather. Each chapter closes with a practical Treatment Plan designed to help you pause, reflect, and connect the ideas in the book to your own life. If life has ever left you saying, "Well, that was a doozy," this book is for you. You don't have to have it all figured out to participate in your life.
