Good Reads... (the self-help kind)

I'd like to offer a few books that have helped in more ways then I can put down in words. Also would like others to add suggestions of books.

Healing Your Emotional Self - Beverly Engel

This book focuses on self-image and how to change the way you look at yourself, also focuses on child abuse and the affects a care-giver has on a child. Honestly I'm glad I read this book before I had kids just to understand the impact I could potentially have on them. It is really worth reading if you think down on yourself quite often.

Feeling Good - David D. Burns, M.D.

This comes in just book form and also handbook. It helps to overcome depression and anxiety. It focuses on cognitive therapy. This book is amazing.

I will definitely check those out! Thanks!

Check these out:

Learned Optimism - this was recommended to me by a business psychologist and it was a great, and quick, read.

The War of Art - recommended by the same psychologist. This book is very slightly directed at writers, but is mostly about overcoming resistance, which I find anxiety causes an awful lot of. Also a quick read.

Delivered from Distraction - this one is an ADD book, but much of it is about managing the "race-car brain" and I found that much of it applied to the same feelings I get with anxiety.

I love the book "The anxiety and phobia workbook" by Bourne. It has helped a lot, and I just ordered his follow up book from amazon (Beyond anxiety and phobia) plust a CBT book that I have heard good things about called "The cognitive behavioral workbook for anxiety". I will let you guys know how these books are for me.

Also, if you are a female, I found a book called "When words arent enough" a good book, with loads of information.

Im still hanging in there, eating mostly soups, ensures, carnations, juice, banannas, and water. I think I do feel a little better than I did this time last month so, keep your fingers crossed, and all of you here are in my thoughts and prayers as well.
