Everything you always wanted to know about therapy.
…And a few things you could never have imagined!
Available exclusively at Borders Bookstore until September 2008.
You’re feeling sad, anxious, or angry all the time,
and you’re thinking about seeing a therapist.
But there’s one problem: You don’t know the first thing about
therapists or whatever it is they get up to in those dimly lit offices.
You ask your friends, your HMO, you thumb through the phonebook—but there
are as many opinions as there are MFTs, LCSWs, and Ph.D.s waiting to add
you to their appointment books.
What are you, the curious and confused, to do?
Don’t panic!
Therapy 101 can guide you through the twists and turns of the mental health maze.
You’ll learn about the different kinds of mental health professionals and the
services they offer. You’ll explore the various kinds of therapy and
learn which therapies are best for which problems. Filled with curious
and entertaining tidbits about the colorful history of psychology,
Therapy 101 is as entertaining as it is informative. With this book
in your back pocket, you’ll be able to make the most of your time on the couch.

Depression Info
A 2007 survey by the American Psychological Association
found that one-third of Americans live with extreme stress
in their lives and almost half of them think that their
stress levels have increased in the past five years. Yet,
regrettably, only 28 percent of those same people knew how
to manage their stress in very effective ways.
Don’t let daily stress ruin your life, too! Make
sure you get 8 to 10 hours of sleep every night.
Eat well-balanced meals. Avoid caffeine and nicotine.
Use effective stress reduction skills like meditation,
slow breathing, visualization, and muscle relaxation. Get
a massage. Try acupuncture. Then, if nothing works, seek
help from a mental health care professional.
