- Violet shrink / by Baldacchino, Christine,1977-; Mok, Carmen,1968-;
Violet Shrink doesn<U+2019>t like parties. Lots of people and lots of noise make Violet<U+2019>s tummy ache and her hands sweat. She would much rather spend time on her own, watching the birds in her backyard, reading comics or listening to music through her purple headphones. The problem is that the whole Shrink family loves parties with loud music and games and dancing. In this thoughtful story about understanding and acceptance, Violet<U+2019>s natural introversion and feelings of social anxiety are normalized when she and her father reach a solution together.LSC- Subjects: Anxiety in children; Fathers and daughters; Families;

- What's eating us : women, food, and the epidemic of body anxiety / by Kazdin, Cole,author.;
Includes bibliographical references."Blending personal narrative and investigative reporting, Emmy Award-winning journalist Cole Kazdin reveals that disordered eating is an epidemic crisis killing millions of women. Women of all ages struggle with disordered eating, preoccupation with food, and body anxiety. Journalist Cole Kazdin was one such woman, and she set out to see if the impossibility of her own full recovery from an eating disorder was all in her head. Interviewing women across the country as well as the world's most renowned researchers, she discovered that most people with eating disorders never receive treatment--the fact that she did made her one of the lucky ones. Kazdin takes us to the doorstep of the diet industry and research community, exposing the flawed systems that claim to be helping us, and revealing disordered eating for the crisis that it is: a mental illness with the second highest mortality rate (after opioid-related deaths) that no one wants to talk about. Along the way, she identifies new treatments not yet available to the general public, grass roots movements to correct racial disparities in care, and strategies for navigating true health while still living in a dysfunctional world. What would it feel like to be free? To feel gorgeous in your body, not ruminate about food, feel ease at meals, exercise with no regard for calories-burned? To never making a disparaging comment about your body again, even silently to yourself. Who can help us with this? We can. What's Eating Us is an urgent battle cry coupled with stories and strategies about what works and how to finally heal-for real"--- Subjects: Kazdin, Cole; Body image in women; Eating disorders in women; Women;

- Mind Your Body A Revolutionary Program to Release Chronic Pain and Anxiety [electronic resource] : by Sachs, Nicole J..aut; Stracks, John.; cloudLibrary;
Learn how to free yourself from chronic pain, anxiety, fatigue, and myriad debilitating conditions through the transformative process of nervous system regulation in this accessible guide from psychotherapist and leading Mindbody clinician Nicole Sachs. At a time when chronic pain and other conditions have reached epidemic proportions, and the medical model is coming up short for so many of us, Mind Your Body shares the evidence-based practices that can help deliver readers from hopelessness to freedom. Most people who come to Nicole Sachs have exhausted all other paths to cope with their chronic back and bodily pain, IBS, sciatica, pelvic pain, long COVID, migraines, fibromyalgia, nerve inflammation, skin conditions, anxiety and panic disorders, and many more health conditions. Maybe they’re considering surgery or other interventions, with no real promise of a cure, or maybe the surgeries and treatments they’ve already attempted have proved disappointing and they are desperate for relief. Sachs knows that these kinds of syndromes often don’t originate from a physical source. Rather, they are fueled by trauma responses associated with deeply rooted psychological and emotional triggers that send the brain and the nervous system into fight or flight. In Mind Your Body, Sachs teaches readers about Mindbody medicine—which helped her overcome her own debilitating pain and dark prognosis. She explains the essential practice of turning inward, using her revolutionary JournalSpeak method, which has enabled countless people to achieve striking mental, emotional, and physical healing. Mind Your Body takes chronic pain recovery into its next stage, for a new generation of readers who have been so underserved by our medical system.- Subjects: Electronic books.; Healing; Pain Management; Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD);

- Bertie Stewart is perfectly imperfect / by Mosher, Melanie.;
Bertha Mae Stewart--otherwise known as Bertie--is ready for anything grade 6 can throw at her. She spends every day with her best friend Kevin, enjoys delicious cookies at her grandmother's, and has an adorable baby half-brother to dote on. But then her teacher announces a public speaking assignment, she's paired up with her worst enemy for the project, and her inside voice won't stop telling her that everything is going to go wrong. And of course, there's that nagging little secret Bertie can't tell anyone about. Most days, a trip to her favourite tree or a hug from Grammy are enough to make Bertie's anxiety go away for a short while. But as life grows more complicated, and Bertie pushes the noisy feelings further down, the pressure inside of her starts to build. And someday soon, she won't be able to hold it all in.- Subjects: Anxiety in children; Public speaking; Friendship; Enemies;

- Scaredy Squirrel visits the doctor / by Watt, Mélanie,1975-;
Scaredy Squirrel is exactly the character children need today--a little bit anxious, a lot adorable and totally lovable. Join Scaredy on a hilarious adventure as he learns to brave the doctor for a check-up! Scaredy Squirrel keeps himself in peak physical condition. He exercises, eats a balanced diet, sings opera (to keep his lungs healthy, of course) and brushes his teeth. You might think it's to stay fit, but no--it's all so he can avoid the doctor's office and the dangers presented by other patients! After all, who'd want to expose themselves to the hazards of snapping turtles, squawking parrots and irritable chihuahuas? It's a prescription for disaster! But Scaredy can't avoid the doctor forever, and when he realizes that he needs to make a quick visit to Dr. Vet to get his health certificate, he does whatever it takes to keep safe while he waits at the clinic ... including covering himself in bubble wrap. Yet things don't go according to plan, and Scaredy ends up discovering that his doctor's visit leaves him feeling better than ever!LSC- Subjects: Humorous fiction.; Scaredy Squirrel (Fictitious character); Squirrels; Anxiety; Fear of doctors; Medical offices;
