Flirting For Dummies by Elizabeth Clark

Published by Wiley, June 2009

Did you know that 80% of people make a snap judgement about you in the time it takes you to walk from one side of a room to another? And that forming their actual opinion of you then takes between three and five minutes? Interestingly, it can then take up to 21 further meetings before a person changes that opinion…
 
If you’ve ever been on the receiving end of “Get your coat darlin’, you’ve pulled!”, or worse-still use this as your normal chat-up line and don’t know why you’re rewarded with an icy stare instead of a smile, then you’ll know that flirting can feel like a bit of a mine-field.  Written by renowned flirting and charisma expert, Elizabeth Clark, Flirting For Dummies provides indispensable advice to boost self-confidence and help you to engage with people in a natural and charming way – with no cheesy one-liners in sight!

Relationship Problems

It is common for most of us at one point or another to have experienced difficulties or challenges in our personal relationships whether it is with your spouse, or partner. However when such problems become entrenched or habitual then people begin to feel stuck and experience anxiety, irrationality, anger, and hurt, depression and unhealthy jealousy.

CBT expert, Avy Joseph advises us on how to be protected against the emotional upheaval of the recession

Emotional Recession

“People are not disturbed by events but by the view they hold about them”

This principle is at the heart of nearly all emotional and behavioural change and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.  It can be challenging when you first allow yourself to be open to the fact that we are responsible for our own emotions.  Many people believe that what is about to happen or what has happened ‘make you feel how you feel and do what you do’.
