“The nest that gives wings. A child’s independence begins with attachment.”

Children need calm, loving parents. But it’s easier said than done, especially when life is overloaded with responsibilities. Most raise children “on automatic”, through the prism of their attitudes. Even the most loving and caring carry the mistakes of their parents into the family nest and pass them on down the chain. World bestselling author Stephanie Stahl and psychologist Julia Tomuschat have written an inspiring book about how to connect with your inner child for the sake of your own children’s happiness.

“Everything will end and you won’t. A book of strength, comfort and support.”

Sometimes it feels like the darkest night in life. That spring and dawn are something very distant, ghostly, unattainable. At such moments there is nothing more important than a warm embrace, a hand extended for support. This support will be a new work by Olga Primachenko, author of the megabestseller “To Yourself Tenderly”. Readers have already nicknamed the new book “plantain for the soul”. She will gently guide through the pain to the belief that the bright morning is sure to come.

“The Gift of Trauma. How to live through traumatic events and turn them into a point of growth”

Psychological trauma is a reminder of a painful event from the past, reactions that the body triggers to protect itself from repeating the negative experience. They occur even when there is no real cause for concern, disrupting a person’s mental balance. In The Gift of Trauma, family therapist and PTSD specialist Christy Gibson offers tools to help overcome psychological trauma and move into a state where pain from the past does not interfere with the present and future.

“Repairing Roofs and Wings. A psychological standup about how to fix yourself.”

Is it true that all traumas come from childhood, and should we start repairing the psyche from the nursery? How to transfer life from the mode “I’m in the house” to the mode “I go for a walk”, and why the second is more useful? Where does insomnia come from, and what practices can help you get your healthy sleep and rest back? This is one of the funniest books of the “self help” genre with a set of useful tools that will help “fix the roof and grow wings”. Practices and exercises, text therapy and author’s methods of making wishes, checklists and memos – all this will help to create an ideal design project of your inner world and gradually bring it to reality.

“Recipe for Balance. 30 cards for anxiety and depression.”

And this is not a book, but supporting cards based on the bestseller “So-so. Self-therapy for those tired of depression, anxiety and misunderstanding.” The author of the book and the cards is psychiatrist Kirill Sychev. He calls himself a punk and a cynic. Perhaps that’s why both the book and these cards, dedicated to the unhappy disease, make you smile. “Droogan cards with workable lifehacks,” the author says of them. Each card contains a useful tip from Sychev and a funny illustration by artist Valentin Potkin.

“What my bones know. When the sky falls on you, make a quilt out of it.”

Stephanie has everything she needs to be happy. A cool job, a caring boyfriend, a cozy apartment. It seems like life is good. But why is she plagued by depression and panic attacks? In search of an answer Stephanie goes to a psychotherapist and at the age of 30 for the first time learns her diagnosis: complex post-traumatic stress disorder. As a child, her mother beat her with a tennis racket, pulled her hair. There could be any number of causes. For example, Stephanie was beaten for the fact that the girl did not make eye contact when talking to her mom. Or she did, but not respectfully enough. Will Stephanie be able to heal from the effects of an abusive childhood? The author accompanies her personal story with scientific data, interviews with psychologists and scientists.
