You’re Not Crazy Just Human

Written by a Chartered Psychologist, a guide to the common psychological struggles we all face. The subject is brought to life by client cases and the author’s own personal life experiences In this compassionate and insightful guide, Chartered Psychologist Christine Haworth-Staines draws on more than 30 years of experience to help you make sense of the psychological struggles so many people carry. From romantic love, anxiety and intrusive thoughts to trauma, depression and feeling different, she explains how these experiences and others arise from the brain’s natural drive to protect us, and how understanding this can transform the way you relate to yourself and better understand those around you. The text is supported by sound scientific research, and brought to life by client cases and the author’s own personal life experiences. With clarity, warmth and practical tools, this book offers a new way forward: not by fighting the mind but by finally understanding it. ‘Christine’s book should be bought and kept within easy reach. What has she learned from years immersed in other people’s emotions? How can we navigate our own fears, obsessions and relationships? Based on many years as a practising psychologist, Christine charts a very personal and sympathetic path through some of the darker and lighter pathways in the human mind.' – Tim Sebastian, author, international journalist and original presenter of BBC’s HARDtalk
