Fredricksburg, VA, June 20, 2023 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– “The Comparison Trap: How to Break Free, How to Stay Free”: a helpful resource for personal development. “The Comparison Trap: How to Break Free, How to Stay Free” is the creation of published author Yvonne Copeland, MSW, LCSW, who received her bachelor’s degree in sociology from Davidson College, her master’s degree in administration from Central Michigan University, and her master’s degree in social work from the University of Texas-Arlington.
Copeland shares, “She sees one, she wants one, she must have one because, after all, her best friend has one! But she is not alone in her quest for more! No matter the age, at some point, comparison invariably enters the thought life of every individual. And, if left unbridled, what begins as a seemingly innocent comparison can eventually overtake the heart and mind of the unsuspecting and may even lead to ill-advised decisions or worse, devastating consequences.
“The Comparison Trap: How to Break Free, How to Stay Free exposes the often hidden subtleties and dangers inherent in the comparison trap. In this timeless, compelling work written in layman’s terms, Yvonne Copeland, MSW, LCSW, skillfully intersects biblical principles and therapeutic concepts to respond headlong to the deleterious effects of the comparison trap and the negative consequences that can ensue when comparison is left unbridled and runs amok. The author not only targets the overlooked implications of entanglement in the comparison trap, but she correspondingly provides essential strategies to successfully break free and stay free from its insidious stronghold!”

The release of Magical Musical Memories aligns with research indicating music’s capacity to reduce stress and rekindle recollection among people living with dementia. It also echoes widely shared experiences—from football legend Sir Alex Ferguson to the family of singer Tony Christie—of music’s unique ability to unlock the past.
Inside the Community Spirit
“From the songs that we danced to at our first school dance, to the albums that became the soundtrack of our lives, each memory is a testament to the moments that have defined us,” said Helen Davies-Parsons, Chief Executive of Dormy Care Communities. “Music can transport us back to a specific time and place. Through these recollections, memories will now live on.”
