Overcoming Self-Sabotage by Roslyn Postlewaite - Ebook

In Overcoming Self-Sabotage, an audio course from Scribd Coach, clinical social worker and Therapy as a Christian podcast host Roslyn Postlewaite dives into the subject of self-sabotage, and how to resist and overcome it. Setting the goal of helping readers flip the script and become their own best cheerleader, Postlewaite discusses how self-sabotage can impact productivity and rest; how to identify if your behaviors are self-sabotaging; and why most of us don’t “follow through” with our actions. She also shares exercises along the way so you can begin putting what you’ve learned into practice immediately. Backed by evidence and spirituality and remarkably empathetic, Postlewaite’s course is an excellent overview of the strange phenomenon that is self-sabotage — and how to rise above it.

Anxiously Attached: How to Become Empowered and Secure in Love

There’s no denying it: Dating in the digital age is hard. It feels like there’s a new, hot app every day. With so many ways to communicate constantly, it’s hard not to miss a message or interpret something as simple as text message delays as personal attacks. All of this and more can lead to serious anxiety — and for those with an anxious attachment style, that can feel devastating. My hope for this course is that it will offer you a trustworthy, evidence-based roadmap to better, more stable relationships. I’ve lived through a lot of the kind of thing I describe in this course, but more than that, I’ve done considerable research and worked with therapists enough to have faith in my claims. I’m eager to share my knowledge, to help those who also have an anxious attachment style have better relationships.
