68,95 kr. One of the hardest things about parenting is having conversations with your kids about sticky or loaded topics. You know, like sex. Or drugs. Or money, religion, or politics. Or when someone in your life does something ethically terrible. Or when tragic shit happens. It's especially hard when the topic of discussion hits really close to home. Or if you tend to be either conflict averse or hot headed, or just plain unconfident having difficult conversations even with fellow adults. But you need to have these talks in order to create a sense of safety for your kid when life goes sideways. Whether you're trying to make sure your kid gets positive messages around gender even though you aren't an expert, process horrific news, or deal with an intolerant relative who you can't personally stand, Dr. Faith and Bonnie bring you their trademark common sense, experience, and realness in guiding you through having these necessary tough conversations and building a closer, trusting relationship with your offspring.

68,95 kr. For decades, the U.S. has been obsessed with "self-esteem" or rather with our lack of it. But self-esteem isn't actually that great, and getting all puffed up about yourself isn't exactly a recipe for the good life. How about self-compassion instead? Bestseller Dr. Faith explains the difference between the two and offers some helpful exercises in developing more compassion for yourself. It's actually very different, she explains, than letting yourself off the hook for your bullshit. It's more helpful to accept that you're human so that you can learn and grow rather than push aside your problems or wallow in your mistakes. Also, kindness to yourself helps you be more kind to other people as well. Everyone wins!

78,95 kr. In this pocket-sized, handwritten, illustrated zine, Robert talks about how he went to get EMDR therapy (a kind of therapy where instead of talking about your problems, you move your eyes back and forth rapidly and it helps your brain process past traumas so they don't threaten you every day anymore). He started the therapy because he wanted to feel cranky less of the time, and kept at it through about 8 sessions because it helped his resolve his memories of intense childhood bullying. It was fast and effective and helped him move on to get the career he'd dreamed about, so he made this guide so other people can find their peace and learn to live without fear, too.
