Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein is a best selling author, award-winning Selfie Filmmaker, Zoom Drama Creator, Positive Psychologist and podcaster who helps us overcome anxiety and alienation through multiple media channels. 'Seven Ways' debuted as a #1 Amazon Hot New Release  FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE / PRURGENT
As the world slowly returns to normal, we are beginning to understand the full impact the pandemic has had on our young people. Emotional and social growth have been stunted. Anxiety and depression are major sources of concern, as are frustration and disappointment, coupled with a sense of hopelessness and perhaps worse. How can we undo the effects of the pandemic and finally begin to allow our kids to be normal kids again?
Bestselling author Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein has some answers to the crisis the pandemic has produced. She presents them in her latest book, ‘Seven Ways To Help Your Family Recover From The Pandemic – Positive Psychology To The Rescue’. The new book is available in e-book and paperback and is available on Amazon Prime. It was recently #1 on the Amazon Hot New Releases list.
"I wrote this book to help young people and their families overcome the trauma, anxiety and other issues related to living through the pandemic," Dr. Holstein stated. "I made it available on Kindle Unlimited so that it can reach as many people as possible. I will also be making the book available at no charge for a period of time. Positive psychology can be used to help people of any age begin to turn adversity into opportunity. This book can help readers do just that."
As a school psychologist and in her private practice, Dr. Holstein has worked with many children and parents, helping them to develop life skills in decision-making, recognition of their own talents, feel more courageous, and helping both kids and parents develop more successful inter-generational skills. Her last book, ‘Conflict and a Bit of Magic’, helps kids build self-esteem though reading the journal of a girl, identifying with the girl, and understanding they have more courage and resiliency than they thought they had. The book is based on the experiences of the already famous “girl” from 'The Truth, Diary of a Gutsy Tween' and 'Secrets, Diary of a Gutsy Teen', and achieved bestseller status in the multi-generational families category.
Dr. Holstein's cutting-edge presentations, most recently based on the Covid-19 pandemic issues, can be found on both YouTube, Vimeo and on the Roku channel and Amazon Fire TV, titled as 'The Enchanted Self Presents'.
Dr. Holstein recently created The Selfie Showcase, a new project emerging from The Selfie Project, that allows young people to voice their opinions on subjects that matter to young people, including the pandemic. She is now accepting submissions from the public for the "Selfie Showcase" and is actively seeking change-makers and mental health professionals to appear on her monthly video podcasts.
The Selfie Showcase allows kids, teens, and young adults ages 13 to 18 to candidly express their concerns, worries, observations and possible solutions by creating selfie videos or films around important subjects using a smartphone. Dr. Holstein's mission is to help rectify, in several ways, some issues young people face by giving them a chance to engage with others in meaningful ways about the anxiety and stress they must grapple with constantly.
Selected participants may appear on the Selfie Project Channel, available on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3uaOTcYF70z5CpBh11VoUQ.
