This active workbook helps you improve your ability to interact with others by overcoming defensiveness.

Psychotherapist Nancy Dreyfus presents an innovative tool for couples who find themselves embroiled in an unhappy spiral of arguing, defensiveness, or just plain poor listening habits. The idea is brilliant in its simplicity: at the moment when both partners are feeling unheard, unfairly treated, or self-righteous, a flash card is offered by one partner to the other as a "time out" from anger and used as an introduction to honest, open communication. The frank, non-defensive messages found on these cards may be just what's needed to quietly reverse the course of a difficult interaction. The magic of the cards is that they allow us to sort out our own feelings and reconnect with our partner.

Never before has someone so involved in astrology, psychic reading, fortune-telling, and witchcraft spoken so freely and frankly about a witch's influences, training, trade secrets and practice. 'Never Strike a Happy Medium' is entertaining, enlightening and completely void of 'emotional defensiveness' and superstition that often enshroud this type of work. In this book, Louise Huebner provides surprising answers that often explode the myths, superstitions, and fantasies surround the mysterious appeal of the unknown, unexplored world of psychic phenomena and witchcraft. Louise Huebner lives in a haunted house but doesn't believe in ghosts. She accurately and consistently predicts events with astrology but refuses to recognize it as a science - she even express amazement that it survived the first eclipse. She has written several columns and books, and has been a well-known figure on radio and TV.

Carter looks deeper into human nature--the sin nature--and shows readers how to conquer emotional barriers, once and for all. Part of the Healing for the Heart Series.

Utilizing insights from attachment theory and research in neuroplasticity, accelerated experiential dynamic psychotherapy (AEDP) clinicians help clients unearth, explore and process core feelings in order to transform anxiety and defensiveness into long-lasting, positive change. In this book, AEDP founders and leaders Natasha Prenn and Diana Fosha offer a model of clinical supervision that is based on the AEDP approach. Using close observation of videotaped sessions, AEDP supervisors model a strong focus on here-and-now interactions, with a full awareness of affective resonance, empathy, and dyadic affect regulation phenomena. The goal is to offer trainees a visceral, transformative experience that complements their growing intellectual understanding of how change occurs in AEDP.
