About this ebook

Life doesn't have to be like this! Are you getting pushed around? Do you feel you need to do everything asked of you by your partner or anyone else? Do you feel you have to fulfill all your partner's needs no matter what? Are you frightened of being unable to survive without your partner? Are you picked on and undermined if you question your partner on any issue? Is your self-esteem low? Have you lost your confidence? Do you remember a time when you could think for yourself and deal with most of the things that life throws at you? Do you ask yourself, "where have I gone wrong and how can I put it right?" Do you ask yourself, "where is the person who could deal with the daily problems of relationships and life, gone, or indeed have I not yet learned to think and act for myself?"
If you answered YES to any of these questions, then this book is for you.
Life Without Bullying: A Practical Guide is an essential tool in assisting you to change your position from being emotionally dependent on your partner to becoming emotionally independent. It will assist you in changing from being emotionally inadequate to becoming emotionally adequate. This book will enable you to become the person you once were or it can change you to becoming the person you have always wanted to be.
"It is hard to believe how much useful information the author has packed into this slender tome."
--Sam Vaknin, PhD, author of Malignant Self Love: Narcissim Revisited

Author

Lynda Bevan

Lynda Bevan lives in a picturesque village in South Wales, United Kingdom. She is 59 years of age, married for the third time, with three (adult) children. During her teens and early twenties, she pursued and enjoyed acting and taught drama at local Youth Centers. Her 22-year career has involved working in the area of mental health, with the two major care agencies in the UK, Social Services and the National Health Service. After the birth of her third child, and with her second mar-riage ending, she became employed by Social Services and climbed through the ranks to senior management level with some speed. During her career with Social Services, she developed a passion for counseling and psychotherapy and worked extensively with mental health patients within the organization, setting up counseling projects in Healthcare Centers. The task was to tackle the issue of doctors who inappropriately referred patients to Psychiatric Hospitals for therapy when they had experienced events that arise in normal everyday life, e.g., divorce, anxiety, depression, bereavement, stress, loss of role. It was during this time that she became involved in marital/relationship counseling and, coincidentally, was experi-encing difficulties within her own relationship. The experience of working in this environment, and her own relationship issues, enabled Lynda to be innovative; creating methods of coping and developing strategies that enabled her and her patients to live within their problematic relationships. These strategies were devised and offered to patients who had clearly identified that they did not want to separate or proceed with the divorce process. After taking early retirement from Social Services, she be-came employed by the National Health Service as a Counselor in the Primary Healthcare Setting. During this pe-riod in her career, she began using the strategies she had developed with patients who were referred for relationship counseling and who did not want to end their partner-ship/marriage. These strategies have been used extensively over a ten-year period with impressive results. Lynda is presently employed as a Manager of a charity that supports people who are HIV positive. She is also the Resident Relationship Counselor on Swansea Sound Radio Learn more at www.LyndaBevan.com

    I won this book thru Rebecca?s Reads. It is a practical guide in dealing with jealousy and the different forms of it. It is a very quick read with only 110 pages and has a lot of great information in it. I like all the quotes that are intermingled throughout the book. This book breaks down the different types of jealousy and how a person can overcome those negative thoughts. The author also includes both sides of the jealously component and how the other partner can overcome as well.

    Your mom may have been right when she told you there were no monsters under your bed, but that doesn?t mean they can?t be lurking inside your own head. If you find that you are frequently visited by a certain ?green-eyed monster,? then it?s worth your time to take a look at Lynda Bevan?s book. You?ll be exposed to the information necessary to slay your jealous beast once and for all.It didn?t take me long to realize how often I was getting attacked by the ?green-eyed monster.? I finally got to the point where I had to ask myself if I was going to let this unpleasant thing run my life. Thankfully, I ran across Lynda Bevan?s book Life Without Jealousy. Don?t be fooled by how thin it is; these pages are full of helpful information to ward off constant fits of jealousy. Bevan eases the reader into the issue of jealousy by explaining exactly what the emotion is. She delves into the differences between jealousy and envy and provides examples that will really hit home. What I enjoyed best about this book was its simplicity. It?s laid out in a clear, concise way. The language is not over-the-top with ridiculous vocabulary only six percent of the population uses, unlike many self-help books out there. Bevan gets straight to the heart of the matter and provides a definition of jealousy, its causes, and useful ways to combat it. The exercises are also simple. So simple, in fact, that you?ll be amazed you never thought of them yourself. However, when done repeatedly as advised by Bevan, I was really able to notice a difference in the frequency of my battles with jealousy. As with most things, it takes a lot of repetition to make a lasting change, so don?t expect Bevan?s advice to work the first day. Confronting your jealousy issues will take some time and there is no quick fix. Bevan gives you all the tools and information you need to ultimately defeat all those nagging self-doubts that evolve into jealous rage. It?s my personal opinion that anyone who has jealousy and/or self-esteem issues will greatly benefit from this book.
