Schwangerschaft & Elternschaft

Bogen er tænkt som et redskab til børns, unges og forældres mentale værktøjskasse.Jeg har i de sidste 24 år arbejdet med børn, unge og forældre i mange forskellige sammenhænge.Jeg er ikke psykolog - og arbejder derfor på en anden måde.Jeg arbejder med at give redskaber til at booste selvværd, tage kontrollen tilbage over spekulationer og bekymringer mm. På den måde kan man flytte fokus ud i livet, uden for sig selv. Det gør, at problemerne bliver lettere at håndtere og arbejde med.Jeg har fundet og udviklet nogle værktøjer, der kan hjælpe på tværs af alder, køn og problemer. Dette er gjort ud fra litteratur og uddannelser, men først og fremmest ud fra erfaringer - og jeg ved, at værktøjerne virker.

Women around the globe, it's time to finally speak up, speak out, be heard, become stronger than ever, and live more meaningful lives. Women encounter a myriad of obstacles, from sexual harassment to unequal pay to objectification and discrimination. But there are very specific tips that each woman, no matter her age or her station in life, can follow right now to make important and significant changes. In this book, women will learn to flex their mental muscles and hurdle over the roadblocks that keep them from achieving their greatest goals. While many people focus on what women should do to live their best lives, only one author will tell women in no uncertain terms which behaviors to avoid in order to become mentally strong.Now Amy Morin, psychotherapist and author of 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do, teaches women everywhere how to fortify themselves and face challenges in this powerful, necessary book for our time, breaking down the thirteen habits and mind-sets that women must avoid in order to master their mental strength. These thirteen tried-and-true principles show women how to tackle problems and tough situations in order to live their best?and most powerful?lives, and there's no better guide through the process than Morin, the leading global voice on mental strength. Drawing on scientific evidence, case studies from her own patients, and even celebrity stories of hardship and triumph, Morin shows how mental strength can come from anywhere regardless of career, marriage, or family life. From introducing ways to stop blaming yourself to becoming a rule-breaker, Morin demonstrates how to navigate some of the hardest challenges that women face, while proposing experience-based solutions that promote mental fortitude. By integrating these easy-to-follow exercises and practical tips into daily life, Morin shows that mental strength is achievable?and necessary?to become a strong woman. In addition she discusses how mental strength practice can help with the difficult realities of sexism that still exist even in the era of the #MeToo movement and awareness of workplace harassment, providing specific strategies for dealing with these persistent issues. Featuring stories and experiences from dozens of women and offering a timely approach to the hard-hitting difficulties women are facing?including calling out sexism, fighting harassment, and finding confidence?Morin confronts the status quo by giving women the time, space, and energy to prioritize themselves. The end result frees you from the confusing practices and obstacles that women face every day, and helps inspire you to achieve the mental strength you need to create a life of authentic meaning and joy.
