The Metamorphoses by Ovid

In this empowering workbook on stress management, renowned Clinical Psychologist Dr. Bita offers a comprehensive understanding of the complex inner workings of the mind, and its connection to stress, which when left unaddressed, can harm body and mind. Everyone experiences some level of stress, particularly while undergoing change. A form of mild acute stress can be energizing and push you into action; however, chronic stress can lead to clinical depression, as well as other conditions that can harm your personal life and relationships. The mind-body relationship has been an integral part of the centuries-old Eastern philosophies of Zen, Sufi, and yoga. Various stress trigger signals are sent to the body long before the mind can react. This can lead to changes in digestion, movement, or even posture, which alone can be telling of one's entire history. Combining strategies from different schools of thought, along with her own expertise in cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness, Dr. Bita guides readers through practical techniques and exercises in assertiveness, mindfulness, relaxation, self-hypnosis, and more, to tap into innate survival instincts and overcome daily stressors. We are, after all, programmed survivors. Dr. Bita is the author of one workbook and two books, including Lifestyle Amnesia: The Brake Pedal to Mindfulness. She is the founder and clinical director of Dr. Bita's Health Network, a chain of integrative clinics spanning Canada that brings together health care professionals from different fields. Specializing in psychological disorders, she has an eclectic approach to therapy, integrating Schema-focused CBT, mindfulness, and sensorimotor psychotherapy to meet a client's individual needs, allowing them to achieve psychological well-being and empowering them to become their own therapists. Her scientific contributions most famously center on the psychological effects of immigration. Publisher's website: http: //sbpra.com/DrBita
Ovid: -

Ovid (43 BC-17/18 AD) was a Roman poet. Born in Sulmo the year after Julius Caesar's assassination, Ovid would join the ranks of Virgil and Horace to become one of the foremost poets of Augustus' reign as first Roman emperor. After rejecting a life in law and politics, he embarked on a career as a poet, publishing his first work, the Heroides, in 19 BC. This was quickly followed by his Amores (16 BC), a collection of erotic elegies written to his lover Corinna. By 8 AD, Ovid finished his Metamorphoses, an epic narrative poem tracing the history of Rome and the world from the creation of the cosmos to the death and apotheosis of Julius Caesar. Ambitious and eminently inspired, Metamorphoses remains a timeless work of Roman literature and an essential resource for the study of classical languages and mythology. Exiled that same year by Augustus himself, Ovid spent the rest of his life in Tomis on the Black Sea, where he continued to write poems of loss, repentance and longing.
