Against the\nvery real darkness that life offers up, a chorus of “but do you have a\ngratitude journal?” or “have you tried yoga?” can feel isolating and\ndismissive. And yet, the research on resilience, joy, gratitude, hope, and\npost-traumatic growth proves unequivocally that these emotions are healing.\nWhen it comes to deploying that research and adapting it into actionable tools\nfor people with a history of trauma, psychology falls desperately short. To\nbridge this gap, Dr. MaryCatherine McDonald has reframed these concepts and\ncreated new interventions for anyone who struggles to feel at home with\njoy. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn \u003ci\u003eThe Joy Reset\u003c\/i\u003e, Dr. McDonald helps readers identify barriers that\nprevent them from accessing joy—hypervigilance, emotional numbing, fear of\nloss, conditioning, guilt, and shame—and then redefines positive emotions as\nthose tenacious, gritty, often tiny experiences that appear within the darkest\nmoments and form the very foundation of psychological resilience. Rooted in the\nneurobiology that explains how and why trauma and suffering can impede our path\nto hope and joy, Dr. McDonald shares exercises that make joy and gratitude both\nbite-sized and accessible, inviting readers to welcome these emotions back\nin. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nBy emphasizing the very real ways that joy and hope show up even in our\ntoughest moments, \u003ci\u003eThe Joy Reset \u003c\/i\u003eempowers readers to find the\nlight in the dark—no matter what.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaryCatherine McDonald\u003c\/b\u003e is a research professor\nand life coach who specializes in the psychology and philosophy of trauma. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eHer work focuses on thinking critically about how we\nunderstand, define, and heal from traumatic experiences. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eShe has published several research articles and book\nchapters, as well as three books on trauma. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eIn addition to her academic work, Dr. McDonald coaches\nindividuals and corporations and creates trauma-based curriculum for non-profit\norganizations and schools.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TIMES DISTRIBUTION PTE LTD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44770751676623,"sku":"9780306836268","price":34.88,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/5662\/3823\/files\/download_c1dfeb5f-e483-4c22-8951-5de82aaa9fe6.jpg?v=1777000389","url":"https:\/\/popular.com.sg\/products\/the-joy-reset-six-ways-trauma-steals-happiness-and-how-to-win-it-back","provider":"Popular Book Company Pte Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
