IF YOU'VE EVER TRIED TO EXPLAIN HOW YOUR BRAIN FEELS AND RAN OUT OF WORDS. THIS BOOK DOES IT FOR YOU.
For everyone who has battled something they couldn't put into words.
For those who handed their phone to a friend and said "this, this is how I feel".
For the therapists who needed a bridge.
For the families who wanted to understand. For the people who thought nobody got it.
THIS BOOK GETS IT
sHAWN cOSS DIDN'T SET OUT TO WRITE A BOOK.
HE SPENT 11 YEARS AS AN RN WATCHING AND CARING FOR PEOPLE IN THEIR WORST MOMENTS. PEOPLE WHO COULDN'T EXPLAIN WHAT WAS HAPPENING INSIDE THEIR OWN HEADS. PEOPLE WHO HAD RUN OUT OF WORDS AND DROWNING IN SILENCE WHILE THE REST OF THE WORLD TOLD THEM TO JUST FEEL BETTER AND THAT IT WAS "ALL IN YOUR HEAD"
SO HE PICKED UP A PEN AND DREW THEIR DARKNESS.
WHAT CAME OUT WASN'T SUNSHINE. IT WASN'T THE SOFT PALATABLE MENTAL HEALTH CONTENT THAT MAKES EVERYONE FEEL COMFORTABLE. IT WAS DARK. IT WAS HONEST. IT WAS ART NOBODY WANTED TO LOOK AT. WHICH IS EXACTLY WHY PEOPLE COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN.
OVER 150,000 COPIES LATER, THERAPISTS ARE USING IT IN SESSIONS AROUND THE WORLD. PYSCHOLOGY PROGRAMS HAVE IT IN THEIR TEXTBOOKS. AND EVERYDAY, SOMEONE MESSAGES TO SAY THE SAME THING:
"I FINALLY FELT LIKE SOMEONE UNDERSTOOD.
THAT'S WHY THIS BOOK EXISTS. NOT TO FIX YOU. NOT TO LECTURE YOU. JUST TO LOOK YOU DEAD IN THE EYES AND SAY, YEAH, WE SEE IT TOO.
"mental health is vitally important, often overlooked and needs to be further de-stigmatised"
- Antony Star, The Boys

A LOOK INSIDE
In the previous editions I had written very brief descriptions on each behavior along with a few sentences on my inspiration behind it. What I didn't realize was that it left alot to be desired for those who were learning about the behaviors for the first time. Now, with many therapists using it in their practice I wanted to have a more in depth look into each illness covered but in an easy to digest way, so it can be used in the professional setting as well.

This Body - Limited Edition Print
Fit amazing, super soft
I have a lot of leggings that I wear that are considered squat proof. Once worn in, they're not too bad to wear all day but, I wouldn't consider them comfy. I got these and as soon as I put them on, I felt relaxed, haha. These leggings were super soft, I was good all day. They look thin but the material is delicate for a reason. I'm also athletically built and the sizing was great. Follow the care instructions!

These books are awesome and beautifully made
These books are awesome and beautifully made. For my daughter who loves art, she lives to study the meaning behind art too, she went to art history classes with me, and she is a book worm ..,AND OUR WHILE FAMILY has mental issues and we are all nerd who love to study all subjects, but this was a really neat one to learn about all of the cool things like Alice in Wonderland....who would have known some of these exist. I tell u I feel better about my 30 diagnosis 's LMAO I mean I could have 80! I probably did LOL Thank you, and LOL Ironically I was in a spravato treatment and got sat in the owners office, which is dressed up w a Hogwarts theme LOL, so I thought well what am I gonna do for 2 hrs. This was one of the 2 books on his shelf and I tell u it was really a cool find and a REAL TRIP LOL. I ordered my daughter the set for her bday like the next week. Thank you. Ironically this has been an idea of mine to do to my favorite Yogi Guru's words, I want to make drawings or paintings, sculptures, u name it, but I wanted to turn it into art. So I found this phenomenal. Bravo!!!!!
