"The Girl Who Learned to Fly. Soulful fairy tales for the inner child," by Yulia Dyakova
The book is written in the best tradition of fairy tales. As we age, people stop reading them and get lost in the ocean of routine, unresolved problems and complexes. Yulia Dyakova, psychologist, coach and body-oriented therapist, has composed wise and endlessly heartfelt tales specifically for adults. The goal of her work is for readers to revive their inner child and listen to the voice of their heart. Within the tales are practical tasks that help break patterns, get rid of childhood traumas, guilt and fears, notice the joy in the most ordinary things, forget about inhibitions, live in the present and just remain a child.
A nice bonus to the content of this book is that it has a separate gift edition. Inside there are wonderful illustrations by artist Anna Silivonchik, which literally envelope with kindness and warmth, and the velvet cover of the edition is a separate kind of tactile pleasure.
"Indifferent Mothers. Healing from the Wounds of Parental Dislike," by Susan Forward, Donna Fraser Glynn
An invaluable book for people who do not have a normal relationship with their mother in the traditional sense. We live in a world where everything around us screams about how much we need to love our mother, respect our elders, and be grateful to our parents. We hear touching songs about a mother's love and regularly see endless proclamations that it is the strongest love on earth.
But the reality of the individual sometimes turns out to be more tragic and sad. After all, a mother can also be a tyrant, a narcissist, an aggressor, a rival, a control freak, or confused about her own life. Such mothers tend to bring a great deal of destruction, complexes, and problems into their children's lives as adults. These include insecurity, difficulty with trust, anxiety, depression, inability to build relationships, and an inability to love not only others but also themselves.
Susan Forward offers a variety of self-help techniques. Her techniques help you overcome childhood pain, separate yourself from traumatic mothers, learn to act in your best interests, and make overall life changes for the better.

The book suggests starting to work on yourself with a simple phrase that must nevertheless be said regularly: "I unconditionally love myself.

"Loving Imperfection. Accepting yourself and others with all imperfections," Gemin Sunim

- What are the causes of anxiety and workaholism?
- Why does the desire to always be good lead to depression?
- What is the connection between our relationship with our father as children and our adult lives?
