Current statistics suggest that between one in seven and one in eight women will develop breast cancer at some point in their lives. Being diagnosed with breast cancer can leave you feeling anxious and depressed, fearful of the treatment to come and concerned about your mortality. The treatment itself can have a significant impact on your wellbeing as you are faced with marked changes in your physical appearance, sense of self and energy levels.There is lots of information available regarding cancer and its treatment, but little to help you cope with the emotional fall out. There are some excellent support services available but access to high quality evidence-based psychological interventions to help you cope is limited.This self-help book is the first of its kind: written by a highly experienced clinical psychologist, who has herself gone through the devastating impact of breast cancer, drawing from the evidence-based Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) approach to provide you with essential coping skills. This book takes you through what your journey may look like through diagnosis, treatment and recovery, and explains the ACT skills that can help you to cope with the emotional impact of this disease and its treatment. The ACT approach enables you to respond differently to the painful thoughts and feelings that will arise during your cancer journey. Rather than fighting with them, the skills in this book help you to acknowledge and step back from your difficult thoughts and feelings so that you can focus on living your life in a way that will positively impact your physical and emotional wellbeing.

Current statistics suggest that one in ten women and those assigned female at birth of reproductive age in the UK suffer from Endometriosis. It is estimated that there are 176 million people worldwide living with the condition. On average, it takes eight years from the onset of symptoms to receive a diagnosis of endometriosis. For Kirsty, it took 20 years for a formal diagnosis. Living with endometriosis, often without a diagnosis or explanation for your symptoms, can have a significant impact on your mental health, your wellbeing, and your self-esteem. It can result in disconnection from others and high levels of self-criticism towards yourself. Endometriosis fuels our threat systems and can push us to disconnect from others, ourselves and the things that are important to us. There are many resources available now about endometriosis, its symptoms, and its treatment. However, there is little available to think about the psychological impact and regaining balance and control over an incurable condition. There are now some specialist endometriosis centres in the UK that offer psychological therapy and interventions as part of their treatment, however, these are not available to all. This self-help book is the first of its kind: written by a highly experienced clinical psychologist, who has lived with endometriosis herself. Drawing from the evidence-based compassion focussed therapy (CFT) approach to provide you with essential coping skills to manage the psychological impact of the condition. The CFT approach enables you to respond differently to the difficulties that may arise from living with endometriosis, including understanding the condition itself, managing the impact it has on your relationships and bringing compassion to the distress associated with endometriosis. This book aims for you to be able to connect with your difficulties in a compassionate way and to seek care and connection during a time where you may feel alone and disconnected.

Every woman will experience menopause, and each journey will be unique. Many women experience quite a range of symptoms, making it a difficult time to varying degrees. Contrary to common belief, you rarely have ‘a few hot flushes, then your periods just stop!’ It can wreak havoc on your body, your mind and life in general, and last for years. Many women are not informed about what to expect or even aware of when they are already in perimenopause, often feeling confused and worried about what is going on. There is still little public education about symptoms and how to manage them. Psychological symptoms in particular are often over-looked, as are the differences in how menopause is experienced across different racial and ethnic groups.This self-help book is the first of its kind: written by a highly experienced clinical psychologist, who describes her own menopausal journey and presents it in a biopsychosocial- spiritual model. This book explores how our attitude can make a difference to our experience of menopause, shifting the stigma and cutting through the gendered ageism that has impacted on research in this area. Drawing on a range of therapeutic approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), it provides evidence- based coping tools and strategies, including a toolbox for maintaining your general wellbeing. You will learn about yourself, and how to manage your symptoms, take back control of your life and restore balance.
