So you won't be stuck

Author's name: Bret Frankdar Publisher: Dar Al Tanweer for Publishing and Distribution Year of publication: 2023 Literary classification: Personal development and self-improvement Book overview: This book is a guide containing evidence-based practices, testimonials, academic research, professional stories, and personal experiences. I see the world through the eyes of a white woman who is cis-gendered, having the honor of living under Western culture. The reasons that make you stuck are many, as are the people. The information in this book relates to those who have the freedom to choose, relative safety, and easy access to resources. However, this information does not apply to cases of abuse, repression, slavery, severe and ongoing mental illness, power imbalances, or systematic racism. Any practices that encourage you to delve into talking to yourself or "changing your mind to change your mood" can be toxic and blame the victim. As a general rule, "mental work" only succeeds if you are in a safe environment with alternatives available... The book "So You Are Not Stuck" includes information about mental illness, abuse, partner violence, sexual trauma, grief, drug addiction, eating disorders, and other topics that some readers may find triggering.
