Levels of anxiety and depression are on the rise. If you have ever felt surrounded by people and yet alone, or overwhelmed by guidance but unable to solve your problems, then this is the book for you.
Clinical psychologist Linda Blair reveals that, whatever their particular problem, the people who come to her always talk about the same issues. STRAIGHT TALKING identifies the 6 core issues that Linda Blair believes underlie modern angst and then offers simple, practical ways to help you to regain stability and find a more satisfying direction in life.
These core issues are:
-Helplessness and a growing need for an 'expert' to help us;
-Anxiety and our inability to change those things we can't run away from;
-Impermanence and difficulty we have setting goals and searching for direction;
-Information overload and the problem of increased choice;
-Aloneness and lack of self esteem;
-Ageing, the pressure to stay young, and loss.
Linda Blair uses examples and draws on case histories to enable you to recognise the underlying issues, learn how to deal with them and start to manage your life more effectively.
