Plot Twist - 9781761470448

In life, the one thing we can be certain of is that it will never remain linear for long. One minute, everything is as we know it. Next minute - PLOT TWIST - we find ourselves scrambling for a foothold, trying to make sense of the shifting landscape and the changing tides. Sometimes, these deviations from the course can be the shift we needed to push us into our next chapter of life. Others can throw us off balance, send us spiralling into despair or confusion, leaving us stuck in time with no perceivable way out. These plot twists are inevitable. But the good news is, they don't have to be endings. They're just new beginnings.
In many ways, this book is about grief. It's about how we cope when life as we know it changes - whether that's from the death of a loved one, a job loss, mental health upheaval, relationship breakdown - and all the large and small griefs that accompany difficult periods of change. It's about how the moments in life that we think are going to break us are often the ones that truly make us. It shows us how to reframe, adapt and move forward in our new realities, with accessible anecdotes and storytelling and thoughtfully applied psychology expertise and advice.
