Plastic & reconstructive surgery; Assertiveness, motivation & self-esteem

All over the world, plastic surgery is doing amazing things for people. But what happens on the inside? What's it like to prepare for and recover from a cosmetic procedure? How does someone decide what to change and when -and when to stop? How can a patient prepare for the reactions they will get from other people-and from themselves? And what if the result doesn't match expectations? What then?

Finally, there is a book written by a psychologist who can answer these questions and more. In Saving Face Without Losing Your Mind, Los Angeles-based psychologist Dr. Alan Goodwin draws on his years of helping patients approach the cosmetic procedure process with confidence, humor, and grace. Saving Face Without Losing Your Mind takes you directly into the therapy room. By using the very same tools his patients use, such as succinct journaling exercises, clear and relevant self-screening tools, and grounding and empowering meditations, mantras, and affirmations, you will personally experience the way mindfulness-based psychotherapy can transform the way you cope with universal sources of struggle such as uncertainty, lack of control, change, loss, aging, and fear.

If you are planning a cosmetic procedure, this book will be an indispensable companion at every stage of the process. But Saving Face Without Losing Your Mind is an uplifting, transformational resource for anyone seeking to cope with the reality of change. Everyone and everything is constantly evolving. Change requires each of us to make room for the inevitable joys and challenges life sends our way. Saving Face Without Losing Your Mind provides the tools needed to cope with all forms of change, whether occurring within ourselves, or outside of ourselves.
