Overcoming Disabilities
Despair
9 Steps for talking away what's getting you down. Michael
D. LeBow PhD C. Psych (2011).
Disabilities Stink…
Life gives everybody things they can’t control. Sometimes,
even the most capable and productive people hit against a personal limitation
and get discouraged over things they can’t do. With some of us, it can
be something relatively small, like aches and pains that limit ability
to play with our grandchildren, small disappointments. For others, the
barriers and hurdles may be much more substantial.
So what do you do when life hands you a major setback?
Do you quit, sink into despair and wait for something good to happen to
get you past the depression? This book offers practical help.
Dr. Michael LeBow knows intimately the challenges of despair—but
more than that— in Overcoming Disabilities Despair he reveals a systematic
approach using Cognitive Therapy to rise above, attack and defeat the disabilities
despair that can block us from effective happy living. While light-heartedly
sharing some of his own stories of frustration, Dr. LeBow walks us through
practical systematic tools and procedures to reclaim optimism.
Michael D. LeBow Himself disabled for the
past 30 years by multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis, Dr.
LeBow is still a therapist, teacher, writer, and researcher. Currently
he is Professor of Clinical Psychology at the University of Manitoba.
He resides in Winnipeg with his wife and one of his sons.

"There
is a time in every man's education when he arrives at the conviction that
envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself
for better, for worse, as his portion; that though the wide universe is
full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through
his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given to him to till.
The power which resides in him is new in nature, and none but he knows
what that is which he can do, nor does he know until he has tried."
