The definitive classic that has helped more than 400,000 people defeat obsessive-compulsive behavior, with all-new material from the author

An estimated 5 million Americans suffer from obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and live diminished lives in which they are compelled to obsess about something or to repeat a similar task over and over. Traditionally, OCD has been treated with Prozac or similar drugs. The problem with medication, aside from its cost, is that 30 percent of people treated don't respond to it, and when the pills stop, the symptoms invariably return.

In Brain Lock, Jeffrey M. Schwartz, M.D., presents a simple four-step method for overcoming OCD that is so effective, it's now used in academic treatment centers throughout the world. Proven by brain-imaging tests to actually alter the brain's chemistry, this method doesn't rely on psychopharmaceuticals. Instead, patients use cognitive self-therapy and behavior modification to develop new patterns of response to their obsessions. In essence, they use the mind to fix the brain.

Using the real-life stories of actual patients, Brain Lock explains this revolutionary method and provides readers with the inspiration and tools to free themselves from their psychic prisons and regain control of their lives.

«Este libro es un bálsamo para las heridas del alma , María Esclapez, autora de Me quiero, te quiero y Tú eres tu lugar seguro

Descubre el poder sanador de abrazar a la niña que fuiste

Qué tiene que ver mi infancia con las cosas que siento ahora? De qué manera mis experiencias en esos años se relacionan con mi malestar actual? Y, sobre todo, cómo puedo sanar las heridas del pasado que todavía cargo en el presente? Si alguna vez te has hecho alguna de estas preguntas, la respuesta está en tu niña interior.

Marta Segrelles, psicóloga referente en el trabajo del trauma y en la terapia con la niña interior, te acompaña en un viaje de autodescubrimiento al pasado. En este libro encontrarás las herramientas necesarias para acompañar a la niña que todavía vive dentro de ti y ser hoy la adulta que te habría gustado tener a tu lado ayer.

«Antes de comenzar mi terapia y trabajar con mi niña interior, estaba enfadada y triste conmigo misma. No me sentía una buena adulta, lo que para mí implicaba hacerlo todo bien, no tener dudas y no sentir nunca incomodidad.

Durante el proceso de reparar heridas, he aprendido a identificar lo que siento y a regularlo mejor para darme aquello que necesito; a acompañarme y acercarme cada vez más a esa niña que fui, siendo la adulta que necesité...

Pero todo esto te lo quiero contar en detalle, para que tú también puedas conocerte mejor, reconectar con tu niña interior y transformar tu presente. Empecemos juntas . -Marta Segrelles

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"This book is a balm for wounded souls." María Esclapez, author of I Love Myself, I Love You and You Are Your Safe Space

Discover the healing power of embracing the child you once were.

What does my childhood have to do with the emotions I'm feeling now? How are my current problems linked to things I experienced then? And, above all, how can I heal past wounds that I still bear today? If you've ever asked yourself these questions, the answer can be found in your inner child.

Marta Segrelles, a psychologist known for her work on trauma and inner child therapy, takes readers on a journey of self-discovery into their pasts. This book provides the tools to help you reunite with the child that still lives inside you by being the adult you wish had been with you then.

"Before starting inner child therapy, I was upset and angry with myself. I didn't feel like a real adult, which for me meant doing everything right, never doubting oneself or feeling uncomfortable.

"During the healing process, I have learned to identify my feelings and self-regulate to give myself what I need, to rediscover and support the little girl I once was by being the adult I needed at that time...

"I want to tell you how I did this so that you too can learn to understand yourself better, reconnect with your inner child and transform your present. Let's begin together." -Marta Segrelles

Written for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) sufferers yet useful for anyone wishing make better use of their time, this book is abundant with effective strategies for combating problems related to inattention, procrastination, disorganization, mismanagement of time, and poor planning. It begins by carefully explaining the neurologic underpinnings of ADHD and focusing on specific executive functions--the brain-based processes that assist in planning, initiating, and carrying out tasks to complete projects. Then using exercises designed to identify areas that need addressing, it aims to "tune up" these executive functions for maximum productivity. In contrast to many books on ADHD, which can have good ideas but lack practical ways to apply them in everyday life, this guide includes specific recommendations for improving distractibility, working memory, attention, organization, time management, and response inhibition deficits. With strategies based in the science of how the ADHD brain processes information, this reference bridges the gap between knowledge and action.

Foreword by Bill Gates

LinkedIn cofounder, legendary investor, and host of the award-winning Masters of Scale podcast reveals the secret to starting and scaling massively valuable companies.

What entrepreneur or founder doesn't aspire to build the next Amazon, Facebook, or Airbnb? Yet those who actually manage to do so are exceedingly rare. So what separates the startups that get disrupted and disappear from the ones who grow to become global giants?

The secret is blitzscaling: a set of techniques for scaling up at a dizzying pace that blows competitors out of the water. The objective of Blitzscaling is not to go from zero to one, but from one to one billion -as quickly as possible.

When growing at a breakneck pace, getting to next level requires very different strategies from those that got you to where you are today. In a book inspired by their popular class at Stanford Business School, Hoffman and Yeh reveal how to navigate the necessary shifts and weather the unique challenges that arise at each stage of a company's life cycle, such as: how to design business models for igniting and sustaining relentless growth; strategies for hiring and managing; how the role of the founder and company culture must evolve as the business matures, and more.

Whether your business has ten employees or ten thousand, Blitzscaling is the essential playbook for winning in a world where speed is the only competitive advantage that matters.

Brain-based therapy is the fastest-growing area in the field of psychological health because it has proven that it can immediately address issues that talk therapy can take years to heal. Now Dr. David Grand presents the next leap forward in psychological care--combining the strengths of brain-based and talk therapies into a powerful technique he calls Brainspotting. In Brainspotting, Dr. Grand reveals the key insight that allowed him to develop this revolutionary therapeutic tool: that where we look reveals critical information about what's going on in our brain. Join him to learn about:
The history of Brainspotting--how it evolved from EMDR practice as a more versatile tool for brain-based therapy
- Brainspotting in action--case studies and evidence for the effectiveness of the technique
- An overview of the different aspects of Brainspotting and how to use them
- Between sessions--how clients can use Brainspotting on their own to reinforce and accelerate healing
- Why working simultaneously with the right and left brain can lead to expanded creativity and athletic performance
- How Brainspotting can be used to treat PTSD, anxiety, depression, addiction, physical pain, chronic illness, and much more

"Brainspotting lets the therapist and client participate together in the healing process," explains Dr. Grand. "It allows us to harness the brain's natural ability for self-scanning, so we can activate, locate, and process the sources of trauma and distress in the body." With Brainspotting, this pioneering researcher introduces an invaluable tool that can support virtually any form of therapeutic practice--and greatly accelerate our ability to heal.
