We live in a unique time. Modern advancements have placed the world at our fingertips; but somehow, even with all of the conveniences available, we are still busier and more stressed than ever before. In her book, Save Yourself Some Therapy, licensed professional counselor Amber Bateman digs into four modern dangers that are negatively impacting our mental health and leaving us depressed, stressed, and anxious to name a few. As a licensed therapist, Amber expertly, but gently, walks the reader through these dangers while skillfully weaving the gospel throughout, promising hope to those in despair. Amber's practical suggestions for how to overcome these dangers will leave the reader feeling inspired and empowered to produce meaningful change in their lives. Endorsements "I was blown away. Although I assumed I did not struggle with many of these areas, the more I read, the more I realized I'm bogged down by most of what Amber highlighted. The practical steps are excellent, and the discussion questions are exactly what I would expect from a seasoned counselor. I think this book will do exactly what it is intended to do." -Natalie Nolt Small Business Owner "I thought it was a highly practical book and easy to read while still being thought-provoking. It had great content without being too heady, which is important for a reader who might be in a season of overwhelm. I appreciated the sense of humor-the way Amber sprinkled the book with lightheartedness was disarming and welcome after all the times she stepped on my toes." -Trina Yoder Small Business Owner "All of the points Amber made about safeguarding our minds from too much stimulation pretty much floored me. Her viewpoint gave me a lot more grounding and ownership over this issue. She spoke about it so firmly and yet with so much compassion. There are tools for me!" -Mary Campbell Norman Educator "The four dangers Amber lays out are huge pieces of the most common struggles I see. It is an easy read, and Amber's voice and humor make it an enjoyable one, too. I found myself underlining certain sentences to hold onto. In the margin by the quote, 'How much of our mental and emotional distress is related to our actual lives,' I wrote, 'boom.' So, so good." -Jessica Barley Licensed Professional Counselor "Honestly, the only thing I would change is dialing up the 'promise' in the introduction. To me, this book-if read and applied-really would 'save people some therapy,' which makes me think Amber could promise more of that in the introduction. I think it would be tough to overpromise the helpfulness of this book." -Kent Bateman Pastor "I really enjoyed reading this book! Amber has a gift to communicate big ideas in understandable and livable ways." -Peter Hubbard Pastor and Author of Love Into Light
