Description

The first mainstream book offering support to all those whose loved ones are experiencing mental health difficulties, written by an expert psychotherapist.

This is a poignant, practical and accessible book aimed at the partners, parents, siblings and children of people who are suffering with their mental health. It will help readers understand their loved one better, to start difficult and often necessary conversations, to set boundaries and to remind them to value their own mental health throughout.

You Are Not Alone in This will explore:

• The most common mental health issues and how to navigate them.
• Getting real about your difficult feelings, from anger, irritation, powerlessness, fear, guilt, shame, resentment to wanting to leave.
• What to say and what not to say – how to use therapeutic tools and insights to overcome communication challenges.
• How to implement healthy boundaries, untangle from codependent relationships and recognize if you have a saviour complex.
• Making a crisis/emergency plan for if something goes wrong.
