Eat Without Fear - Harnessing...

Glenn Waller, Carolyn Black...

Eating disorders are serious conditions that can be hard to treat; however, the chances of overcoming an eating disorder increase when exposure therapy is used as part of the overall treatment strategy. Exposure therapy involves confronting (rather than avoiding) challenging scenarios that evoke distress, and though this technique has typically been used mainly by psychotherapists, people struggling with eating disorders can use it on their own to reduce troubling eating behaviors. Eat Without Fear provides practical, accessible information about this innovative, scientifically-supported approach, as well as guidance on how to apply it effectively to beat an eating disorder using a "team approach" that involves family members, friends, and other loved ones. Listeners will benefit from the use of easy-to-understand language describing the key concepts of eating disorders and how exposure therapy can help treat them. Additionally, the book guides listeners through therapeutic activities that enable them to effectively practice exposure therapy techniques on their own. Given the value of involving family members and other supportive people in the eating disorder recovery process, this book encourages collaboration between listeners and their loved ones and offers practical suggestions for how they can work together to achieve their desired goals.

ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
In "Mindset: The New Psychology of Success," Carol S. Dweck explores the power of our mindset—our beliefs about our abilities—in shaping our lives. The book delves into the contrast between two mindsets: the fixed mindset, where individuals believe their abilities are innate and unchangeable, and the growth mindset, where individuals believe their abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work. Dweck argues that embracing a growth mindset is essential for achieving success in all areas of life, from academics and sports to business and relationships. She provides compelling examples and research to illustrate how a growth mindset can foster resilience, perseverance, and a love of learning. The book offers insights into how mindsets are formed, how they influence our behavior, and how we can cultivate a growth mindset to unlock our potential.

United Queerdom - From the...

Dan Glass

‘United Queerdom: From the Legends of the Gay Liberation Front to the Queers of Tomorrow’ Co-produced by Sarah Nicol, co-produced and authored by dan glass - in tribute to Andrew Lumsden, pioneer of Pride.
Throughout the 1970s the Gay Liberation Front (GLF) initiated an anarchic campaign that permanently changed the face of Britain. Inspired by the Stonewall uprisings in the US, the GLF demanded a 'Absolute Freedom For All' worldwide. Yet half a century on, injustice is rife and LGBT+ inequality remains. Complete LGBT+ liberation means housing rights, universal healthcare, economic freedom and so much more. Although many people believe queers are now free and should behave, assimilate and become palatable - Dan Glass shows that the fight is far from over.
United Queerdom evocatively captures over five decades of LGBT+ culture and protest from the GLF to 2020s. Showing how central protest is to queer history and identity this book uncovers the back-breaking hard work as well as the glamorous and raucous stories of those who rebelled against injustice and became founders in the story of queer liberation.
