This book will help you cope with the worst that life can throw at you. The death of a loved one, a terrible diagnosis, a difficult divorce, betrayal of friends... You will learn how to survive the most difficult mental periods of grief and despair as safely as possible, accept inevitable changes and feel alive again. Under the guidance of the author, you will go through a spiral of emotions in order to restore your peace of mind and improve your life at a comfortable pace. In her work, Alexandra Cioran relies on the model of grief proposed by psychologist Kübler-Ross. It describes five emotional states that a person goes through when faced with unbearable circumstances in life. Denial, anger, bargaining, sadness and acceptance - each of these stages is devoted to a separate chapter. Exercises and meditation will help reduce the intensity of emotions and calm down, ground yourself if you feel the approach of a panic attack, loosen the grip of control and trust the world. It is equally important to turn off autopilot mode and consciously live every event in life. The author’s personal story and examples of therapy from her clients confirm: if now you feel despair and see no point in living, this does not mean that this will always be the case.
