Download or read book Good Morning Monster written by Catherine Gildiner and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2019-09-03 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A therapist creates moving portraits of five of her most memorable patients, men and women she considers psychological heroes. Catherine Gildiner is a bestselling memoirist, a novelist, and a psychologist in private practice for twenty-five years. In Good Morning, Monster, she focuses on five patients who overcame enormous trauma--people she considers heroes. With a novelist's storytelling gift, Gildiner recounts the details of their struggles, their paths to recovery, and her own tale of growth as a therapist. The five cases include a successful but lonely musician suffering sexual dysfunction; a young woman whose father abandoned her and her siblings in a rural cottage; an Indigenous man who'd endured great trauma at a residential school; a young woman whose abuse at the hands of her father led to a severe personality disorder; and a glamorous workaholic whose negligent mother had greeted her each morning with "Good morning, Monster." Each patient presents a mystery, one that will only be unpacked over years. They seek Gildiner's help to overcome an immediate challenge in their lives, but discover that the source of their suffering has been long buried. It will take courage to face those realities, and creativity and resourcefulness from their therapist. Each patient embodies self-reflection, stoicism, perseverance, and forgiveness as they work unflinchingly to face the truth. Gildiner's account of her journeys with them is moving, insightful, and sometimes humorous. It offers a behind-the-scenes look into the therapist's office and explains how the process can heal even the most unimaginable wounds.

Download or read book Whispers of Never written by Kelly Christina Kunde and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whispers of Never is a collection of poetry that delves into the most profound senses of loss, pain and loneliness. Many of the poems reflect the pain that was a result of years of abuse, neglect, loss and betrayal. The writings are brutally honest and are not designed to make light of the many atrocities experienced by the author. In this book the reader is forced to look into the raw pain and devastation so clearly portrayed by the author s use of words. Many readers will find similar feelings and fears within themselves, though perhaps to a lesser degree. Every life has loss and adversity which will help each reader relate to the images and feelings created within this collection of works. Mixed throughout the book are poems written from a place of healing, acceptance and survival. Hope can be glimpsed and felt in the midst of the darkness. There are messages of beauty and recovery conveyed in more light-hearted pieces. This book does not follow a linear route from hurting to healing; from longing for death to fighting ferociously for survival. Rather it is presented in a chronological order by date of creation. You will clearly be able to see that healing and recovery is not made with steady, forward progress but follows the constant struggle with depression into an appreciation of beauty and life. Many individuals from backgrounds similar to that of the author experience some or all of the same overwhelming thoughts and feelings expressed throughout this book. Many, like the author, do not frequently speak freely about these feelings and thoughts for fear of driving others away or frightening them. As a society in general, we are told to get over it and move on; something much more easily said than done. Having already experienced ultimate judgments and labels, this author no longer fears telling it like it is. She urges you to take this part of her journey with her, to understand and acknowledge the devastating pain one person can inflict upon another, all while keeping in mind that there is hope and there are beautiful people who will reach out if only you dare take their hands. This body of work was created in a relatively short two year time span and truly reflects the rollercoaster of feelings and insights experienced in the face of deep depression and hopeful healing.

At 37, the celebrated writer and environmentalist Bill McKibben took a break from the life of the mind to put himself to the ultimate test: devoting a year to train as a competitive cross-country skier. Consulting with personal trainers, coaches, and doctors at the US Olympic Center, he followed the rigorous training regimen of a world-class athlete. Along the way, he learned to cope with his physical limitations and, when his father was diagnosed with a life-threatening brain tumor, discovered something about the real meaning of endurance. Told with his trademark intelligence, humor, and honesty, Long Distance is an insightful examination of the culture and mind-set of endurance athletes, and a moving and inspiring meditation on finding balance in our often harried lives.
