Stuff That Sucks: Accepting what you can't change and committing to what you can
Autor Ben Sedleyen Limba Engleză Paperback – oct 2015
Notăm cu interes modul în care Ben Sedley reușește să traducă concepte complexe din psihologia clinică într-un limbaj vizual și direct, adaptat perfect sensibilității adolescenților. Abordarea sa nu încearcă să minimalizeze problemele tinerilor prin clișee de tipul „o să treacă”, ci pornește de la o validare profundă a durerii emoționale. Stuff That Sucks se distinge prin utilizarea Terapiei prin Acceptare și Angajament (ACT) pentru a demonstra că lupta constantă împotriva propriilor gânduri negative este adesea mai epuizantă decât acceptarea prezenței acestora.
Credem că structura cărții, îmbogățită cu cele 35 de ilustrații sugestive, transformă lectura într-o experiență practică, nu doar teoretică. Reținem că autorul pune un accent deosebit pe clarificarea valorilor personale, oferind instrumente prin care tinerii pot decide cine vor să fie, în ciuda „lucrurilor care nu merg bine”. Fanii volumului Get Out of Your Mind and Into Your Life for Teens vor recunoaște aceeași atenție la mecanismele de coping sănătoase, aplicată aici într-un format mult mai succint și vizual, ideal pentru cei care se simt copleșiți de manualele clasice de self-help.
Această lucrare continuă misiunea autorului începută în Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with Children și dezvoltată ulterior în Stuff That's Loud, aceea de a oferi resurse accesibile pentru sănătatea mintală. Dacă în lucrările anterioare se concentra pe anxietate sau pe lucrul cu copiii, în Stuff That Sucks, Ben Sedley rafinează mesajul pentru a vorbi direct adolescenților care caută un sens în mijlocul haosului emoțional, transformând acceptarea într-o formă de curaj.

Descriere
If you are a young person struggling with your emotions, you do not want to be told that 'everyone feels like that' or that 'you will grow out of it'. You want to feel that your emotions are valid and that the person offering help truly understands how painful life can feel at times. With a strong emphasis on validation and compassion, Stuff That Sucks encourages you to accept your emotions rather than struggling against them. It also shows how to reconnect with what is really important to you, giving you the tools to help clarify your personal values and take steps towards living a life where those values can guide you in your day-to-day behaviour.

Sometimes life sucks
Each of us has thoughts that are painful at times; sometimes the pain is sadness, sometimes worry or anger or shame or grief or some feeling that you don't even have words for. It can seem like everyone else knows what to do and say, while you feel like you don't even know how to be.
Having these types of feeling doesn't mean there is something wrong with you.
This book can help you to deal with the stuff that sucks by helping you to accept your thoughts and emotions instead of struggling against them. If you put less energy into trying to control things that are virtually impossible to fully control - the stuff you think and feel - you'll have more energy to focus on things that you can control. The stuff you do. The stuff that matters.
