A Matter of Death and Life: Love, Loss and What Matters in the End - Irvin D Yalom
Internationally renowned psychiatrist and author Irvin Yalom has devoted his career to counselling those suffering from anxiety and grief.

In this text Marilyn and Irvin share how they took on profound new struggles: Marilyn to die a good death, Irvin to live on without her. |

Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents: How to Heal from Distant, Rejecting: How to Heal from Distant, Rejecting, or Self-Involved Parents - Lindsay C. Gibson
Are you one of the countless people who grew up with emotionally immature parents? If you suffer from this troubling parent/child dynamic, you may still recall painful moments from your childhood when your emotional needs were not met, when your feelings were dismissed, or when you took on adult levels of maturity in an effort to "compensate" for your parents' behavior. |

The Highly Sensitive Person - Dr Elaine N. Aron
Highly sensitive people are often very bright and creative but many suffer from low self esteem. They are not ‘neurotics’ as they have been labelled for so long. However, high sensitivity can lead them to cease to engage with the outside world. The book offers solutions for a happy and fulfilling life. Particularly in the way an HSP perceives his or herself: the book helps to ‘reframe’ past events, such as a difficult childhood, or how they see themselves – ie. shy. |

The Imposter Cure: How to stop feeling like a fraud and escape the mind-trap of imposter syndrome - Dr Jessamy Hibberd
Imposter syndrome is a phenomenon in which people believe they are not worthy of success. They convince themselves that they have done well due to luck and are terrified their shortcomings will eventually be exposed, making it impossible to enjoy their accomplishments. |

On Grief and Grieving: Finding the Meaning of Grief Through the Five Stages of Loss - Elisabeth Kubler-Ross David Kessler
One of the most important psychological studies of the late twentieth century, On Death and Dying grew out of Dr. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross's famous interdisciplinary seminar on death, life and transition. This remarkable book explores the now-famous stages of death: denial and isolation, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. |
