Fangirling is more than a hobby; it's a way of life for an enormous community. As a fangirl, you are a passionate, intelligent, and creative creature. But sometimes focusing on the fictional can keep you from putting those qualities to use in your everyday life. Rather than using your pop culture obsessions to avoid your real-life problems, you can tackle issues like stress, anxiety, and low self-esteem by turning obsession into inspiration. If you enjoy flailing over badass fictional ladies or speculating endlessly over plot points, but would like to carve more space for the narrative of your own life, this is the book for you. Written by a proud fangirl who is also a licensed therapist, The Fangirl Life is a witty guide to putting your passions to use in your offline life, whether it's learning how writing fan fiction can be a launching point for greater career endeavors, or how to avoid the myths that fictional romance perpetuates.

Weeping Willows Trilogy Book 3

Pillole di psicologia, un tocco di humor e tante storie in cui è facile rispecchiarsi per smettere di farsi influenzare e imparare finalmente ad ascoltarsi. Nei nostri rapporti interpersonali, quel che non abbiamo, tendiamo a prenderlo in prestito dagli altri. Lo facciamo perché siamo creature profondamente sociali. Ma più "sé" prendiamo in prestito, più il nostro buon funzionamento dipenderà da quanto riusciamo a "tenere buoni" i nostri interlocutori e a soddisfare le loro aspettative. La vita diventa così una corsa sulle montagne russe: siamo in alto se qualcuno ci dà una pacca sulla spalla, ma sprofondiamo nella disperazione e nell'autocritica quando non riceviamo un riconoscimento oppure la controparte non collabora. La dottoressa Kathleen Smith viene in nostro soccorso invitandoci a riflettere su noi stessi per comprendere come ci siamo persi e come ritrovarci. Attraverso molte storie di suoi pazienti, consigli diretti, talvolta irriverenti, di psicologia pratica e semplici esercizi, riusciremo a riconoscere e disinnescare i meccanismi automatici che prendono il sopravvento sulla nostra individualità e impareremo a riconoscere valori e comportamenti che non ci rispecchiano. Con rinnovata consapevolezza, sintonizzati finalmente sulle nostre frequenze, avremo così il coraggio di essere noi stessi – anche a beneficio delle nostre relazioni.
