The Covid Bounce - Binder, Sue

. .

Résumé :
Healing from a life-changing crisis can be an incredible struggle, and recovering from a globally traumatic event like the Covid-19 pandemic might seem nearly insurmountable. But in truth, each person holds the power to internalize new life lessons and emerge from the pandemic stronger than before. This book provides the knowledge and tools for looking inward, assessing personal transitions spurred by the coronavirus and paving the way for a brighter post-pandemic life. Written by a behavioral therapist, this book is divided into three sections that address different psychological responses to Covid-19. Sections provide insights on mindfulness, journaling, communication skills, support systems and the importance of rituals and routines. An emphasis is placed on managing both physical and mental health and navigating pitfalls that can impact personal progress. A special section on the pandemic's effect on children and adolescents explores how caregivers can manage their own emotional responses. Finally, the book concludes with a straightforward recovery process that will provide renewal and purpose in the face of life's uncertainties....

Biographie:
I have written most of my life. While still a pre-schooler, I once got in trouble for scribbling in the back of a book. I continued writing throughout school, working on high school and college newspapers, and eventually getting a BA in journalism and creative writing. I have worked as a newspaper writer and editor, as well as a variety of other jobs, such as a substitute teacher, college instructor, and even an Avon saleslady. Currently I hold two master degrees and am a Licensed Professional Counseler and Licensed Addictions Counselor, and have worked in a private prison. Currently I work for a community health clinic as a Behavioral Health Therapist. I love to read, favorites being Tony Hillerman, Henning Mankill and Patrick Taylor, as well as Steve Barry. I love music, current favorites being Celtic Thunder and Josh Groban. My pride and joy are my four children and five grandchildren. I reside in Southeast Colorado, where I continue to write. My current burning desire is a trip to Ireland. Special thank you to my sister, Sandy, for encouraging me to follow her path to Smashwords....
