Riassunto

“A powerfully detailed method of dealing with life’s pains and injustices.” Kirkus Book Reviews

Pain is part of living; yet, humans naturally resist pain and – in the process of resisting – unintentionally create more pain for themselves and those they love. In contrast, acceptance softens the struggle with pain and increases the ability to live fully. While many self-help books discuss the importance of acceptance, few of them describe how to develop it. Now psychologist, Bryan Bushman, provides a step-by-step road-map to help anyone develop acceptance and rise above physical and emotional pain. Combining eastern and western wisdom with the latest psychological research, Dr. Bushman provides readers with easy-to-remember steps that can help them reduce suffering and live richer, more-balanced lives!

Universal in application, there is something here for everyone. Whether you experience symptoms of depression, anxiety, trauma, physical illness, relationship problems or addictive behaviors, your pain doesn’t have to define you. Using playful humor and powerful case examples, Becoming Okay (When You’re Not Okay) demonstrates how you can build (or re-build) a life of vitality and meaning – even while experiencing some of life’s greatest trials.

“A well-written self-help book that proves anyone can rebuild their lives – highly recommended!” [4 ½ out of 5 stars] TopShelf Reviews

“Recommended reading for proactive self-help readers who too commonly receive ethereal admonitions not backed up by actual step-by-step processes.” D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Reviews

“… a terrific job of summarizing succinctly the key steps to suffer less… offers a solid, helpful pathway to healing emotional pain.” BlueInk Reviews

“The author packs a great deal of information into his pages, and he delivers all of it with the smooth skill of an expert teacher…” Kirkus Book Reviews

Su questo libro

Informazioni sull?autore

Originally from Texas, Bryan Bushman received in undergraduate degree in psychology from the University of Texas at Austin. He received his MS and PhD degrees from Utah State University. He completed a pre-doctoral internship at Geisinger Medical Center in Danville, PA related to working with children and teens coping with anxiety, depression, and ADHD/learning disabilities. He also completed a post-doctoral fellowship at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, TN where he worked with patients who had cancer and other life-threatening conditions. Since completing his postdoctoral fellowship, Dr. Bushman has provided psychotherapy and neuropsychological assessment for patients at McKay-Dee Hospital's Behavioral Health Institute in Ogden, Utah. Dr. Bushman has been the author or co-author of articles published in peer-reviewed, scientific journals. He consults frequently with school personnel and medical professionals regarding the treatment of anxiety and pain. Dr. Bushman lives with his family in Utah. He avoids jogging, stepping on cat hairballs, and most commentaries posted on the internet after 11 pm. He craves ice cream, sleeping in, using parentheses excessively, and finding ironic turns-of-phrase that make people rightly conclude that he-like his father before him-is an irreverent smart-ass. Dr. Bushman will fuse with a variety of pet peeves, like becoming unduly irritated at people who become unduly irritated. (He currently deludes himself into believing this is not a contradiction.) His internal librarian loves to replay the memory of the day in 2009 when all the rooms of his house were simultaneously clean, tidy, and hairball-free. He accepts that he will probably always have a hard time accepting acceptance, but (ironically) he seems okay with this. More of Dr. Bushman's writings can be found on his website at drbryanbushman.com.
