Aspirin for the soul
The psychological medicine chest provides thirty everyday skills for dealing with six major challenges: Self-worth, partnership, stress, crisis, pain and sleep. Based on her experience with over five hundred clients and on scientific findings, cognitive behavioral therapist Sylvia Schmidt provides effective tips and ideas on what everyone can do for themselves. Whether it’s a lack of closeness in a relationship instead of loving embraces, too much stress at work instead of a relaxed work environment, or a movie in your head at night instead of restful sleep: the psychological medicine chest has the right remedy.
Sylvia Schmidt shows how people can improve their mental health and deal competently with daily challenges—thereby, for example, strengthening their resilience, cultivating a loving view of themselves, discovering headache triggers, and much more. The psychological medicine chest offers helpful food for thought, illuminating short stories, small interventions and easy-to-implement reflections, exercises, and tasks.
