Anyone working in trauma-informed care knows that the body keeps the score. This is why PTSD therapy can make such a difference in not only the mental health of those suffering from PTSD and complex PTSD but also in their physical health. However, psychotherapy for PTSD, cognitive behavioural therapy, and internal family systems therapy aren't always enough. For clients needing an alternative therapy for PTSD, accelerated resolution therapy, or ART, offers a promising solution. This relatively new evidence-based therapy may not have made it into every PTSD textbook yet but is well on its way to become mental health providers' first choice for trauma informed therapy because it delivers real results in such a short time: only about eight sessions. You may have already undergone basic ART training and have even read an accelerated resolution therapy book or two. So what makes this one different? Come Passion - The Soulful ART of Healing Trauma and What to Do Before You Deliver Accelerated Resolution Therapy isn't simply an accelerated resolution therapy manual and its focus isn't on the ART itself but on how to prepare your client and yourself for your sessions. It is designed to enhance your work as an ART therapist and help you refine your skills. In addition to providing you with the foundation you need, this mood disorders therapy workbook also gives you practical tools, such as scripts and checklists, that can help you streamline your sessions with your client. It is the PTSD and complex PTSD recovery workbook you will return to again and again as you become more adept at delivering this soulful art of helping your clients heal from their trauma-related wounds.

WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER Jack Rocco was a baby when he was adopted by a blue-collar, Italian American family. Today a successful orthopedic surgeon, Jack's identity was built around his Italian heritage and while he knew the story of his "Gotday," he didn't know the story of his birth day. His was a closed adoption, and he only knew that his birth parents were a young couple-an Italian father and a German Irish mother-who couldn't afford a child. Recycled takes you along on Jack's journey of discovering his true but hidden identity. On a first date, Jack learns she was also adopted. As she describes finding and meeting her birth mother, Jack discovers that his belief about closed adoptions-that there's no way to obtain details-and the birth story he's been told may not be accurate. He becomes obsessed, devouring books about adoption and adoption trauma. He tries to follow long and twisted tentacles of nurture, nature, and free will-which parts of him were due to genetics? The nurturing environment of his adoptive home? And which parts did he actually have control over? As some of the puzzle pieces of his life click into place, others remain disconnected and swirling out of reach. And then, he makes a discovery that shatters his very self-identity. It was Jack's grandfather who coined the term "recycled children." Recycled is for those directly involved in adoption-adoptees, adoptive parents, and birth parents-and also for anybody wanting insight into the impact that early maternal and cultural separation has on a child. It is also for those coming to terms with mixed-race identity. It's one of the most thrilling, shocking, yet hopeful books about hidden identity and adoption that you'll read this year and may help you during your own identity inquiry.

In a world full of war and unrest and everyone voicing their discontent as loud as they can while just trying to keep up with the impossibly fast pace, being able to stop and take a breath is more important than ever to help keep us from completely losing our mind. Deeper Days is a lovingly crafted book to get you moving through the world with love, to help you take a moment to breathe, and find stillness in daily reflection. It guides you along your yogic path to realizing your divine potential. It's a guide to yoga, but not in the way you might think: no downward-facing dogs or pigeon poses here. Instead, the book takes you back to what yoga is really about: yes, physical postures but also the mental and spiritual practices-including meditation-that will help you find inner peace.Structured around the eight limbs of yoga as described in Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, Deeper Days provides a set of 365 short messages for daily reflections for women. Each comes with a phrase at the end-a mantra of sorts- that summarizes the core message of the day and that you can use throughout the day as a reminder of what to focus on. But you don't have to complete yoga teacher training or be an adherent of Hinduism or Zen Buddhism or any other philosophy to find value in Deeper Days: this daily reflection book is also a practical guide to how you can incorporate the concepts it describes into your daily life so that you can find inner calm amidst chaos. You can see it as a travel guide for your journey around the Sun, helping you find your personal path leading you to your magnificent heart.

International Impact Book Awards 2021 WINNER (Family and Travel categories) Firebird Book Awards 2021, First place WINNER (Travel category)Hollywood Book Festival Awards 2021, Honorable Mention (Biography/Autobiography/Memoir) Sometimes life is unpredictable and there's no time like now to live adventurously.A couple of average high-school sweethearts from middle-class America go off to college, get married, follow all the rules, play it safe, and pursue the American Dream. When they find themselves boxed in by a predictable life and looking for adventure, they decide to revisit their dreams of youth, abandon the conventional path, and leave the safety of suburbia to live aboard a sailboat with their five children. Yes, five. But to turn their shared dream into reality, they must surmount discomfort and difficulty, face their fears and insecurities, and work together to make big decisions. Leaving the Safe Harbor charts the journey of the author and her family from suburban Atlanta, to coastal Florida, to distant islands in the Caribbean, to South and Central America, as seen from the deck of a catamaran. It shares the highs and lows of living in close quarters and of raising five children while homeschooling bravely on a boat. You'll travel through space and time and explore the metaphysical landscape of hardship, love, grace, and spiritual growth. Imagine yourself in the author's shoes and contemplate how you'd handle these difficult and humorous situations. It will awaken your own desires to follow your dreams and dig deeply into the meaning and purpose of your life. You may be willing to overcome excuses you've made when you see how others succeeded despite obstacles.Leaving the Safe Harbor shows us more than seafaring stories or what it's like to go sailing with kids. Each chapter explores a different sailing idiom and the character traits developed by challenges and adventures. It shows that conflict can be handled through grace, how failures can lead to future successes, how hardship can teach us gratitude and help us find inner strength. It reveals the trade-offs when a family prioritizes relationships and experiences over material things and a so-called normal life. Living close to nature enriches the author's spiritual life. And the ocean teaches life lessons, including how to be flexible, disciplined, patient, and open to new experiences. Most importantly, Leaving the Safe Harbor shows us how love, perseverance, and hard work can turn an idea into a reality.The couple returns to the United States after a decade of travel, their children on the cusp of adulthood, and discovers that they are no longer the same people who left the house with the white picket fence. Anything is possible. Even a neurotic suburban housewife and her workaholic husband can leave their home and minivan behind and homeschool five children on a boat.

WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER A fresh, engaging, and easy-to-read psychedelic therapy guide. Learn about psychedelics and what's needed in a promising mental health therapy program.Nearly forty years ago, Dr. Peter Silverstone was a young MD who took up a new position in psychopharmacology research at Oxford University. Since then, the field has bloomed into a spectrum of possibilities that includes the use of psychedelics as a treatment for depression, addiction, PTSD, grief, and anxiety. And Dr. Silverstone has gone on to lead ground-breaking research into things like amphetamine interaction with the brain, mental health's impact on physical health, psychedelic use in psychotherapy, and to lead award-winning treatment breakthroughs in mental health therapy programs. The Promise of Psychedelics is for you-if you or someone you know has not received successful treatment despite trying several mental health therapy programs and medication. Often, medication alone doesn't work, especially for conditions like PTSD, grief, depression, anxiety, addictions, or personality issues. Despite the best efforts of clinicians, medications or other psychological treatments are usually only partially effective. Sometimes, treatments don't help at all. Psychedelics such as psilocybin, ketamine, MDMA, cannabinoids, and LSD can cause profound, intense changes-not only in what we experience but how we think, how we feel, and what we do. In The Promise of Psychedelics, you'll learn how psychedelics can mimic psychiatric disorders-sometimes producing the same symptoms and sometimes providing an antidote. There's a little on neuroscience and neurotransmitters, but Dr. Silverstone avoids scientific language whenever possible, so you won't feel overwhelmed. You'll also gain key insights into how the mind and brain differ, what's normal versus abnormal, how psychiatric diagnoses are made and why that's a problem. You'll be introduced to the most recent scientific advances in our understanding of psychedelics: how they work, what the risks are, and which ones will transform mental health treatment for millions of patients. You'll gain an understanding of the complexity of the regulatory approval process and why it takes so long for some of these psychedelics to become legal for therapeutic use. These psychedelics are rated and ranked as contenders, wannabes, along with the bronze-, silver-, and gold-medal winners. He shares the science behind micro-dosing psychedelics, which ones hold the most promise for inclusion into mental health therapies, and why some psychedelics simply aren't ready for prime time. In this psychedelic therapy guide you'll discover why psychedelics, including micro-dosing, are poised to become standard treatment, in combination with appropriate therapy, for many mental health conditions. They could become standard therapy for depression, for example. And you'll also learn about the new form of therapy Dr. Silverstone and his team at Zylorion Health have developed that incorporates psychedelics in a controlled environment. It's intensive, with many components, or modes, that promise better mental health outcomes. You'll walk away from The Promise of Psychedelics with a big dose of hope, if you'll pardon the pun. This is not just another one of those mental health books. The good news is that we're on the cusp of a revolution in mental health-one that offers hope that many may see the end of mental illness.

Testing expectations of motherhood and faith, this haunting and breathtakingly-honest depiction of the transformation of a family through the mystery of gender questioning and identity is a dual story of awakening: of the heart of a mother towards her transgendered child, and of the child's awakening to his, her, their fluidity of gender. FOR YEARS, HER SON KEPT A SECRET. A BIG SECRET. The bombshell, delivered shortly after he left for college, left author C.A. Gibbs questioning everything. What was real? Was she being a good parent? Through fear, anxiety, faith, loss, and grief, Gibbs shares the remarkable experiences triggered by the discovery that her adult child isn't-and maybe hasn't ever been-the person she thought. In The Picture Wall: One Woman's Story of Being His Her Their Mother, Gibbs lifts the curtain on life with a child who lives outside societal norms and expectations. From her earliest desire of wanting nothing more than to be a mother, to facing her own life-and-death medical diagnosis before it was safe to get pregnant, to the self-doubt and push-back from others when she expressed concern over her toddler's development, Gibbs finally comes to terms with the fact that the picture-perfect life displayed in her scrapbooks and on her family picture wall wasn't reality. At least it wasn't the full picture. The Picture Wall: One Woman's Story of Being His Her Their Mother takes us on an intimate and emotional journey toward healing as Gibbs comes to terms with raising an autistic child, parenting a transgender adult child, telling family a child is transgender, letting go as children grow up to live authentic lives on their own terms, and embracing being empty nesters.
