Understanding and Treating Chronic Shame: Healing Right Brain Relational Trauma

A masterful synthesis of relational and attachment theory, neurobiology, and contemporary psychoanalysis, Understanding and Treating Chronic Shame: Healing Right Brain Relational Trauma has been internationally recognized as an essential text on shame. Integrating new theory about trauma, shame resilience, and self-compassion, this second edition further clarifies the relational, right-brain essence of being in and with the suffering of shame. New chapters carry theory further into praxis. In the time of a national Truth and Reconciliation Commission and a global Black Lives Matter movement, Societies of Chronic Shame invites therapists to deepen their awareness of collective societal trauma and of their own place within dissociated societal shame. Three Faces of Shame organizes the clinical wisdom of the book into clear guidelines for differential diagnosis and treatment. Lucid and compassionate, this book engages with the most profound challenges of clinical practice and touches into the depths of being human. This audiobook is skillfully read by Vicki-Jo Eva, and was produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.

From Behaving to Belonging: The Inclusive Art of Supporting Students Who Challenge Us

Challenging behavior is one of the most significant issues educators face. Though it may seem radical to use words like love, compassion, and heart when we talk about behavior and discipline, the compassionate and heartfelt words, actions, and strategies teachers employ in the classroom directly shape who students are—and who they will become. But how can teaching from the heart translate into effective supports and practices for students who exhibit challenging behavior? In From Behaving to Belonging: : The Inclusive Art of Supporting Students Who Challenge Us, Julie Causton and Kate MacLeod detail how teachers can shift from a behavior management mindset (that punishes students for bad behavior or rewards students for good or compliant behavior) to an approach that supports all students—even the most challenging ones—with kindness, creativity, acceptance, and love. Causton and MacLeod's approach - Focuses on students' strengths, gifts, and talents. - Ignites students' creativity and sense of self-worth. - Ensures that students' social, emotional, and academic needs are met. - Prompts teachers to rethink challenging behavior and how they support their students. - Helps teachers identify barriers to student success in the cultural, social, and environmental landscape. - Inspires teachers to reconnect with their core values and beliefs about students and teaching. We need to transform our classrooms into places of love. To that end, this book represents a paradigm shift from a punitive mindset to a strengths-based, loving approach and encourages the radical act of creating more inclusive and caring schools.

Mama Love and Her Spilled Milk

The therapist has a problem. Her patient is in love with her. The therapist has romantic feelings for her patient, too. Meanwhile, the patient's husband is having an affair with his wife's mother. The daughter is fully aware of their taboo relationship and embraces it. The functioning chaos unravels when one of them is poisoned. The only person who knows who did it has dementia and can't be considered competent. It's a complicated love story, but so is the path of life. Mama Love is about the profound influence a mother's love has within the family circle and how her children are always searching for the same kind of love in their adult relationships. This kind of love is woven into our DNA and guides us even when we do not realize it. And it can cause us to do some bad things in the name of love. Murder is one of them. Yes, crimes of passion committed in the heat of the moment are real. The psychological phenomenon known as transference and countertransference is also a real human experience. Both emotions weave through this tale of taboo love as the character's journey toward spiritual enlightenment. To fully understand the repressed motives of the characters in Mama Love, you'll journey alongside them through a new psychotherapy technique that allows us to tap into their genetic memory bank where they can re-live the memories passed down to them from their ancestors. This epigenetic methodology allows a person to activate one of their parent’s memories, transferred to them during the embryonic stage of life. Under hypnosis, a descendant can recall and experience ancestral memories as if they were their own memories. Think of it as time travel inside the mind, but on a timeline track that belonged to a parent, a grandparent, a great-grandparent, and so on. A word of caution, you’ll need to be open-minded about the items discovered in their lost baggage.
