"Rewire your brain to resolve and release painful, traumatic memories—so you can take charge of your depression and take back your life.
If you have depression, you may struggle with intense emotions or negative thoughts. You may find everyday tasks overwhelming. And you may feel irritable, sad, or exhausted most days. If you've tried to get better, but haven't found your way, it's possible that your depression is driven by underlying trauma—and in order to effectively treat your depression you must first address the source. Written by a psychologist and based in cutting-edge eye movement desensitization reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, this book can help you get started.
EMDR for Depression offers a comprehensive approach to help you resolve and release traumatic memories, build a greater sense of confidence and connection, and rediscover hope. You'll find soothing practices to regulate your nervous system, balance your emotions, and feel more in charge of your life. You'll also learn mindfulness and self-compassion skills to help you stay in the moment and see yourself—and your experiences—with greater clarity and empathy. Finally, you'll identify what it is you truly value and care about in life, so you can discover greater meaning, purpose, and fulfillment now and in the future.
The strategies taught in this book are also infused with evidence-based techniques from motivational interviewing (MI), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and positive psychology to help you find your way out of the darkness of depression. No matter how hopeless things may seem now, there is a way forward. This book can help light the way."
"During the late 1950s through the early 1970s, Helen Hoover's stories and essays of life in the wilderness on northern Minnesota's Gunflint Lake, published in popular magazines and several bestselling books, found millions of fans and earned her accolades. Hoover's own unlikely history of leaving a corporate career in Chicago for a small cabin without electricity or running water—with no interest in hunting or fishing—is just one chapter of the remarkable life that David Hakensen describes in Her Place in the Woods. This first complete biography illuminates how Helen Hoover (1910–1984) made a place for herself and for countless readers in, as she put it, the world of her time.
Hoover defied convention. She and her husband had long dreamed of moving to a remote cabin in the woods. They finally made the leap, quitting their jobs and figuring out the rest as they went. The Hoovers were woefully unprepared for life off the grid. Gradually, the Hoovers settled into the rhythms of their remote homestead, and Helen would craft a prolific literary livelihood from her keen observations of nature and encounters with animals.
Her Place in the Woods captures both an awakening to the power and fragility of the natural world and the efforts and talents of an extraordinary woman defining herself as a writer."

Alex and Hanna, owners of Murder and Mayhem book and chocolate shop, are hoping for a quiet holiday. That is, after Alex is finished judging the Deck the Halls contest organized by Vanessa, nicknamed “The Dragon.” The whole experience has turned Alex’s usual festive spirit a little grinchy. Instead of inspiring holiday cheer with fun lawn displays, the contest has turned cutthroat and decorations have started disappearing. After Alex’s beau, Tom, is seen in a heated argument with the Dragon about his stolen trimmings, Alex finds him dressed as Santa, kneeling over Vanessa’s dead body . . . with one of his missing candy cane decorations buried in her chest. It’s no surprise he becomes the sheriff’s top suspect.
Alex and Hanna quickly amass a cast of suspects deeper than Santa’s reindeer roster, including an old family friend tasked by their mother with romantic interference; a nosy reporter eager to reveal Alex’s previous murder–y exploits; and the victim’s psychologist–to–the–stars husband with a spicy secret. But as they try to catch a crafty killer, Alex also grapples with the escalating wrath of Tom’s daughter, and a mysterious psychic dropping cryptic clues, while Hanna deals with her own Christmas crisis.
Murder puts a bitter spin on the twins’ sweet confections and they must find the killer and wrap up the case to keep Santa off the naughty list."
