Cutting its way through the media frenzy, Sweet Distress: How our
love affair with feelings has fuelled the current mental health
crisis (and what we can do about it) puts emotional wellbeing and
resilience centre stage. Using an approach rooted in no-nonsense
logic, author and psycholinguistic consultant Gillian Bridge delves
into a range of problems which seem to be most frequently cited as
sources of mental distress. These include stress, anxiety,
depression, loneliness, body image, eating disorders, social media,
substance abuse, behavioural disorders, academic pressures and
bullying. The author explores how these issues have led to
seemingly insurmountable emotional problems and takes a few
potshots at some of the things that have contributed to turning
life events that may, at other times or in other places, have been
little more than nuisances or inconveniences into sources of
genuine psychic pain. Packed with realistic and effective takeaway
strategies for parents and educators, Sweet Distress challenges
under-researched but over-promoted ideology and shares
evidence-based help and advice for anyone wanting to improve the
mental health of those they care about. The book focuses on
offering that help in a practical way, so at the end of chapters 5
to 10, which deal with specific issues, there are sections of
particular value to parents, would-be parents, teachers and those
in the business of young people's mental health, such as
counsellors and therapists. Likewise, towards the end of the book
Gillian has gathered together some selected material into 'a call
to action' which will reiterate and reinforce some of the most
practical and achievable lifestyle advice contained throughout.
Suitable for parents, educators, counsellors and therapists.
