Synopsis

‘Being stuck’ can look and feel different to different people: trapped, powerless, hopeless, frozen, frustrated, numb, disconnected, anxious, overwhelmed. Getting stuck is part of being human. But staying stuck for too long robs us of our vitality. It costs us healthy relationships, meaningful pursuits and, most importantly, the life we want to live.

But even in our lowest moments, one yearning shines through: The desire for a better way. The desire to become unstuck.

With her signature clarity and compassion, Dr Emily offers this practical guide to finding your way forward by focusing on key areas:

* Living by your values: defining what matters to you and what it means to flourish * Overcoming stress: understanding its impact on the body and the tools you need to work effectively with it * Befriending the Inner Critic: learning a better way of thinking * Working with painful emotions: discovering acceptance and self-compassion * Taking Action: finding the power of choice and committing to new and helpful habits and behaviours.

Change can seem impossibly hard, but staying stuck is harder. UNSTUCK gives you the tools to cultivate a life without limits, in times of pain, in times of change, in times of joy.
