Honolulu Stress Counselor & Originator of UnTherapy
Brings Practical Coping Skills to the Pacific Coast
HONOLULU - "More and more people are looking for practical coping skills to deal with their anxieties. Fear, anger, stress, and even job apathy result in compulsions like overeating, drinking, isolating, overspending, staying too busy, and even "vegging out" too much," says Sunny Massad, President and Founder of the Hawaii Wellness Institute, a nonprofit educational organization.
Dr. Sunny Massad, author of UnTherapy: A Positive Psychology for Enlightened Living, works with ordinary people with ordinary problems but wrote this book to speak to the hearts and souls of everyone who find themselves teetering on the brink of burnout.
Massad is "determined to bring practical coping skills into the hands of America's people." "So many people need to learn how to move beyond blame and shame, but traditional counselors are not trained to handle the issues of a healthy clientele and their techniques can actually be detrimental to a person's growth."
Sunny Massad has her Ph.D. in psychology. She will embark on a book tour of the Pacific Northwest, the San Francisco Bay Area and then Southern California the entire month of February.
"This is not your ordinary book tour," promises Massad. "The book readings will include a free workshop & demonstration of UnTherapy with real issues of the audience members." Anyone interested in learning how to cope with the noise of their own mind or to work through personal issues of procrastination, self-neglect, or other self-sabotaging behaviors will gain from the experience.
