What happens when you want to stop feeling like you're never enough? A Good Girl is acutely aware of everyone's emotional state. Except her own.  She was praised for not being difficult like other girls.  She must never get too big for her boots and must always be grateful. So damn grateful.  She masks her own needs, dreams and fears so thoroughly that she loses herself.  Until one day her smile falters, her serenity cracks and a tiny, long-forgotten voice dares to whisper, 'What about me?' And then all hell will break loose. Kasey Edwards, bestselling author of Raising Girls Who Like Themselves, has helped thousands of families bring up kids to believe in themselves. She decides it's time to apply her research and strategies to herself. Her journey of learning to like herself unpicks the worth-crushing beliefs taught to girls. But it's not just Kasey's story. It's about all of us. Raw, irreverent and deeply relatable, Kasey dares to voice what many women think but few say out loud. This poignant memoir will confirm what you've long suspected - that you deserve more. And it will show you how to rediscover who you were always meant to be. Then you too can say, 'Goodbye good girl, hello me.'

HOW TO SLEEP LIKE A CAVEMAN Sleep has hardly changed since Paleolithic humans snoozed soundly in their caves. While sabre-toothed tigers were their biggest night-time worry, today it’s stress and social media that keep us awake, but the solutions are the same, and sleep therapist Dr Merijn van de Laar offers understanding and advice to have you sleeping better within weeks. Human sleep as we know it today evolved hundreds of thousands years ago, to suit a hunter–gatherer lifestyle. It’s not always compatible with our modern lives, but remains an essential function, vital for our health, well-being and daytime functioning. In this groundbreaking new book, Dr Merijn van de Laar investigates the origins of sleep based on archaeological findings and anthropological studies in contemporary hunter-gatherers, looking at the major discrepancies between our primordial bodily needs and our current sleep-inhibiting behaviour.Cave dwellers lived in balance with the forces of nature. They had adapted perfectly to environmental influences such as light, temperature and seasonal variations. The way they ate and moved during the day must have had a positive effect on sleep quality. We need to look to their example, and adjust our eating, exercise, light, temperature and, last but not least: our expectations towards sleep. By taking on board the ancient wisdom of our ancestors, we will improve the quality of our sleep, the way our bodies were designed to do it.

Inherited Fate The international bestseller, a framework for recognizing and healing from intergenerational trauma. 'Illuminating . . . A compassionate understanding of how we can recognize and reconcile the legacies we carry.' Galit Atlas, psychoanalyst and author of Emotional Inheritance 'A deep and comprehensive look at the ways that those ordinary people we call "parents" unwittingly share their pain with their children; and how important it is for all of us "children" to be aware of such historical pain, and explore ways to transform it.' Gwen Adshead, forensic psychiatrist and psychotherapist and author of The Devil You Know 'A sage companion for anyone who has wanted, or needed, to confront the past and engage with the present. Inherited Fate is full of possibility and curiosity, and disrupts the avoidant gaze . . . Offers rigor to the ongoing conversation of embodied trauma.' Maxine Mei-Fung Chung, psychotherapist and author of What Women Want ------ The international bestseller. Our families shape who we are. From the circumstances of our conception and the family structure we are born into, to the expectations placed upon us and the love we receive, we are formed by our social and familial network. So if we want to truly know ourselves - to find out why we falter, to explain our anxieties, our repeated relationship patterns - we must look beyond our own lives and discover the secrets, unprocessed losses, and limiting beliefs of our parents, grandparents, and even to ancestors we have never met. In Inherited Fate, psychologist Noemi Orvos-Tóth invites the reader on a journey of self-awareness that spans generations. Illustrated with vivid stories and questions that invite the reader to engage personally, Inherited Fate is a fascinating framework for discovery of the self, the dismantling of inherited beliefs and the revelation of wisdom stored in the body. We cannot undo what has happened, but if we understand it, the past can help give a different shape to the present and to our future. Inherited Fate explores:- the impact of the events surrounding conception and birth - such as the stress our mothers experienced during pregnancy, the expectations of our parents about our sex or our role in the family, or where we fall in the birth order;- the far-reaching spillover effects of repressing trauma - both individual and collective;- the deep marks left by the attachment pattern formed in childhood, and how it returns in the relationships of adulthood;- how family secrets divide us, distort reality and destroy trust, even when they remain buried.
