Pathways: Your journey to emotional wellbeing

Description

Everyone has moments when the noise and activity of daily life mean it's hard to see the wood for the trees. Sometimes we get by, but sometimes we get out of balance and when negative feelings go unchecked, emotions can escalate. Created in collaboration with psychologists and Samaritans volunteers, Pathways: Your journey to emotional wellbeing provides practical and creative ways to promote positivity and help you find your own route through your problems. With pages for self-reflection as well as goal and routine setting, this book offers ways to achieve a sense of calm from anxiety, relief from low mood and decompression from stress, allowing you to reconnect with yourself and explore the difficult feelings we all experience from time to time.

Katie Colombus (Author) Samaritans was founded in 1953 by vicar Chad Varah, who wanted to offer a listening service to anyone who was struggling and contemplating suicide. There are now more than 20,000 Samaritans volunteers in 201 centres across the UK and Ireland, taking calls, emails and text messages from people who need to talk about what they're going through. Rather than being a charity associated with suicide, they are working to become a friendly and reassuring presence that helps each of us to reach out when we need help, in the hope of preventing people reaching the crisis point that we might traditionally associate with them as a charity. Campaigns such as The Big Listen, Real Stories, Real Lives and Brew Monday are a part of this drive.
