Severing a cherished relationship is one of the most painful experiences in life—and cutting those emotional ties to a loved one can feel almost like ending an addiction. Up till now, people recovering from other problems were able to get real help—like AA and rehab—while those struggling in the aftermath of traumatic breaks dealt with platitudes and friends insisting they should "get over it already." But now Exaholics Anonymous treats getting over an ex like kicking a chemical habit. Written by counselor and therapist Dr. Lisa Bobby, Exaholics offers meaningful support and advice to anyone trapped in the obsessive pain of a broken, or dying, attachment. She helps the brokenhearted heal, showing them, on a deep level, how to develop a conceptual framework for their experience, understand the emotional processes at work inside themselves, find the path to recovery, and free themselves of shame, injured ego, and remorse. In-depth case studies of others' journeys will illuminate the way to future happiness.

Worthy's holistic approach includes topics such as: •How to create a body-positive environment in the home, at school, and at the doctor’s office; •The 5 criteria to help a child find their healthiest weight; •Develop an action plan to keep children safe from bullying and weight bias at home, at school, and at the doctor’s office; •How do we learn kindness and self-compassion? •What is fat-shaming and how does it affect me and my family? •How do we set productive boundaries to talk about body size and shape? How and when do I discuss weight gain with my child? Like any other child with an illness, children living with obesity are worthy of kindness, acceptance and love at any size. The covid-19 pandemic has magnified the issues of weight stigma, bullying and fat-shaming among youth. Teasing about gaining the Covid 20 (lbs) during the pandemic has added to pervasive weight-related microaggressions children living with obesity must endure every day. Worthy:Helping Your Child Be Their Healthiest Weight is an innovative program for parents and professionals to help keep families healthy at any size and shape and help them feel worthy of kindness, love and acceptance. Prior to the pandemic 1 in 3 children were living with obesity. CDC has rung the alarm bell on two fronts of the obesity epidemic. The first bell is a sharp uptick in severe obesity among children 2-5 years. The second bell is the significant increase in obesity-related cancers in young adults. 16 cancers in all, some very serious such as pancreatic and ovarian cancer. It is clear that prior to Covid-19 our children needed our help but now it is urgent. In addition to medical treatment, children and families also need to feel hopeful and feel worthy of love, acceptance and kindness. When children have gain too much weight too fast they sleep less, move less, eat more, and are at risk for bullying and suicide ideation. Another study shows that children living with obesity feel emotionally worse than children who are undergoing chemotherapy. If children with too much weight feel worse than a child with cancer, can we offer them the same kindness to ease their pain? Worthy creates a safe space for parents to discuss their children's weight-related issues and to learn the 5 criteria to help their child be their healthiest weight, and develop an action plan to keep children safe from bullying and weight bias. Often, parents blame themselves and have their own shame about weight-related issues during Covid-19. Now as things reopen in the US, can we treat our children who gained too much weight too fast with kindness? Worthy helps parent’s use the power of kindness to keep their child safe at home, at school, and at the doctor’s office.
