The writer went straight to the root of identity crisis in females and proffered solutions. Please, do not get carried away by the title of this book; Hey Girl! This book is not for female teenagers alone. I recommend this book to adults, men and women alike because they need to be adequately informed and prepared to direct the girl child in her teenage years and I have not come across any other book to help make the job easy than this.

Be encouraged to share its contents with your friends as well. Special thanks to the author for this gift to the world. Victoria-Ann Osigwe"I found this well-writer self-development book to be a wonderful example of a project that aims to and achieves in uplifting, encouraging and empowering the reader. The author did a masterful job in breaking down broad, and sometimes daunting, topics such as identity, personal development, relationships, sexuality and goal setting in a way that is very accessible and should be easy to understand for the intended audience. I especially enjoyed the chapters that looked into understanding the value in oneself and the one about how to set goals and form discipline to pursue and achieve your dreams. the points and explanations the author gave were practical and very applicable; the personal anecdotes from the author as well as examples of other successful and inspiring women in the real-world help to put into perspective how achievable dreams are and how powerful the reader truly is. Also, the reflection sections at the end of each chapter give a good moment of pause for processing and truly digesting what has been learned. All in all, I highly enjoyed reading this book, and while it is marketed to girls in their teen years, I believe any woman of any age and background could benefit from reading it, if at least just to encourage themselves and remind themselves that they are valuable, strong and worthy of love, success and greatness. I learned a lot from it and I found myself remembering vital messages that can be applied to my own life while reading this book. Overall, I truly believe those who go on to read it after me will gain something valuable from it also."Ife Disu

It resonates with the millennial, initially, but extends to the human experience of life, and love gained and lost. Morris' words are a truly emotional read for any queer person finding their way in the world.

A beautiful tale about the ups and downs of life. We all need reassurance now and then and to know that we're not alone. This book reminds us that life is a journey marked by laughter and tears, hope and frustration, happiness and sadness. That life is a road that weaves and bends.

Another Self explains why we sometimes take on the physical, emotional, and even mental states of others. In this book-the first overview of somatic empathy-Dr Engel brings together research into social perception and interpersonal physiology to explain how and why our thoughts and feelings are not always entirely our own. Do you wince when you see someone stub their toe, feel your throat tighten when a friend cries, or know what someone is going to say just before they say it? New evidence reveals that this tendency to 'catch' others' emotional and physiological condition is not merely a quirk of a few sensitive individuals but a fundamental aspect of human intelligence: that feeling with others is an ancient strategy reaching back into our evolutionary past enabling us to predict the intentions of others. This newfound appreciation for somatic empathy has implications in many domains-mental and physical health issues, animal welfare, and personal wellbeing. Understanding how somatic empathy impacts on us day to day without our knowing enables us to optimise empathy while sidestepping the perils of vicarious harm, overwhelm, and burnout. Another Self unveils why your dentist can make more mistakes when you are nervous, how a professional tennis player can predict where an opponents's serve will land even before their racket hits the ball, why your dog gets anxious when you are unwell, why remote military drone pilots can suffer more PTSD than their colleagues in battle, and why you can feel so physically discombobulated when a close relationship ends. Be prepared to reassess your sense of self, your relationships, your occupation, and your choice of entertainment.

As you have arrived at this book description it is likely that you are a therapist, or someone who is concerned about the wellbeing of therapists. If you are a therapist, then the chances are that you are struggling in some way. If so, you are not alone. Therapy is tremendously rewarding work. At the same time though, it is extraordinarily demanding. As a result, each year, many previously committed therapists burn out in their roles, or leave feeling discouraged and dispirited. This is a book for anyone whose voluntary or paid work involves elements of counselling or 'talk therapy'. The aim of this book is to help you spot, navigate, and overcome the common emotional challenges of counselling and therapy, so that you can continue to love the work, effectively support clients, and grow professionally and personally. Clinical psychologist and author, S. J. Southwell, draws on thirty years working in welfare, community, education, and mental health settings. She outlines the key personal, practical, and professional issues that contribute to therapist distress and disenchantment, and provides a wealth of suggestions to support therapists avoid or address the common challenges that arise on their professional journey. The first section encourages you to reflect on different aspects of your life that affect your work as a therapist. These include your habitual thinking patterns and responses, in Chapter 1, and your personal history and current physical and mental health, in Chapter 2. The second section takes a look at what happens in the therapy space, especially when it is likely to affect the wellbeing of the therapist. This includes Chapter 3, which explores the situations in which therapy tends to be particularly hard or slow, and Chapter 4, on three ways in which client work can have particularly powerful and disturbing effects on therapists, transference and countertransference, vicarious trauma, and moral injury. The final section addresses broader aspects of our professional experience, including our work context, in Chapter 5. The remaining chapters in this section address professional crises, including taking on too much client work too soon, and burnout, in Chapter 6, and professional crises of faith, in Chapter 7. The book assumes that if you are having struggles in these areas, you have already set aside time to reflect, that you are using all the therapeutic strategies and skills you have available to support yourself, that you have clinical supervision, you are engaging in regular and appropriate professional development training, and that you have a self-care plan. Of course, it is much easier to write this list of essentials than it is for anyone to put them all in place. They are so important that we return to them in the final chapter, Chapter 8, with some practical suggestions for how to consolidate your practice in these areas.
