'It is not always right to send someone to the chemist for some
medicine when he's ill. Instead we should organize our lives in a
way that renders us less susceptible to illness, or alleviates its
impact. Disorders will impinge on us less severely if we strengthen
the ego's influence on the astral body, the astral body's influence
on the etheric and the etheric on the physical.' Nervousness,
anxiety and agitation are all common symptoms of our increasingly
stressed and pressured society. They manifest in the everyday form
that many people experience, or sometimes as serious mental or
psychological disorders. In this classic lecture, Rudolf Steiner
offers practical advice and spiritual insight for those who wish to
heal these proliferating ailments of modern life. He describes
simple exercises that strengthen the inner self, with the goal of
achieving the calm and centredness necessary to lead a purposeful
and healthy life. This audio edition, complete and unabridged, is
read by respected actor and speech teacher Peter Bridgmont, author
of Liberation of the Actor.
Why do teenagers want to harmthemselves and will it lead to

selective mutism, this edited book gives essential information on
the various treatment and therapy options. Experts in the fields of
speech and language therapy, psychology, music therapy education
and communication offer a wide range of professional perspectives
on the condition, while case studies from people with selective
mutism, past sufferers and parents reveal the personal impact. The
book also clarifies what support a person with selective mutism is
likely to need at home, school and in social situations. This
definitive volume on selective mutism will be key reading for
professionals such as speech and language therapists, educational
psychologists, child psychiatrists, child and adolescent mental
health workers, teachers, SENCOs and anyone working with selective
mutism in therapeutic and educational settings, as well as family
members wanting a closer understanding of what selective mutism is
and how they can help.

We all have a relationship with self-sabotage, a tendency to put
barriers in the way of our progression and our happiness - at home
and at work, both on and offline. Sabotage is a book about
challenging these behaviours, digging a little deeper into why that
unhelpful voice can creep up on us. Procrastination, jealousy,
inner critic: how can we overcome these obstacles? How do we stop
getting in our own way? Exploring real-life stories of success and
setbacks from leading cultural voices, Emma Gannon searches for
experiences, solutions and ways to look differently at what's
really holding us back. This is the handbook you need to slay your
own sabotage.
