Download or read book Okay I m Better Now written by William E. "Tony" Franklin Jr and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2009-03 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In reading this book, you will get a glimpse of my day-to-day life. The tirades (or stories) are based on true life events that have either pissed me off or made me think. No doubt, this book will make some of you uncomfortable and somewhat offended. Half of you won't make it through the first tirade. I don't care. But if you can keep reading, your uncomfort may release you and be a blessing from a maniac. I feel so many things go unquestioned or unanswered in the world. We live lives not of "quiet despair", but of "quiet slavery." We submit to a "9 to 5", we submit to marriage and divorce, we submit to 2.5 children, we submit to our friends' dumb ass suggestions, we submit...we submit.... We witness things that piss us off and we do nothing. Yet, we will wait for someone to take up the mantle and speak out. Well, I could no longer wait for someone else to do what I should have done long ago. When I wrote the first tirade, I was pissed off. And while I was writing it, I had no intention of writing another (at least initially). But, the release was incredible - therapeutic. And the funny fucking thing was I really had something to say - all be it in my own unique way. People wrote me to let me know I had tapped into something or touch a nerve. My friends wanted me dead..my family wanted me deader. But, everyone wanted more and I had more to say. So as you read this book, whether you are sitting on the toilet, in prison cell or in your cubicle at work, it really is my gift to you. Please let me know what you think. Hell, you may become the next subject of a tirade

Download or read book The Writing on the Wall written by Lynne Sharon Schwartz and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2006-05-16 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the first time, one of New York City's major resident authors spins a breathtakingly immediate, intimate family novel set around the September 11th attacks. Thirty–four and decidedly independent, Renata has been known to keep her involvement with people – men in particular – to a minimum. Even her job at the library keeps her at a remove from the uncertainty of trusting other people with the stories of her past. Instead, she loses herself in language, always measuring the integrity of words against lived experience. Then Jack, patient, solid and sexy, enters her life. One bright September morning as Renata walks across the Brooklyn Bridge to work, the sky bursts open and change comes without warning. It quickly becomes clear in the days ahead that Renata cannot keep memories of her buried past – of a twin sister, a betrayal, of family truths too ugly to acknowledge – at bay. Written with tremendous compassion and imagination, informed by an abiding love for the people of New York, and crafted by a master storyteller at the height of her powers, "The Writing on the Wall" is a profoundly engaging novel about how one woman saw – and we all continue to ponder – the defining event of our time.

Book excerpt: In a recent study, half of all Americans rated their relationship with at least one parent as either "poor" or "terrible," and more than a third felt this way about both parents. As we continue to live longer and the parent-child relationship extends further into adulthood, this problem has reached epidemic proportion. Now, psychologist Dale Atkins presents a step-by-step plan for adults trying to come to terms with parents who are demanding yet generous, infuriating yet lovable -- and entirely human. In I'm OK, You're My Parents, Dr. Atkins applies the same intelligent, no-nonsense approach that's made her a frequent guest on top-rated TV shows and explains how you can radically restructure the longest long-term relationship of your life -- with or without your parents' help. With Atkins as your guide, you'll learn to formulate surefire ways to deal with your parents, become sensitive to their vulnerabilities and sore spots, and seek "points of entry" for what were once awkward or difficult conversations. Her practical, specific advice shows how to effectively set limits on parents' demands for time and attention, set personal boundaries, and untangle stress-inducing financial arrangements, leaving you free to create a sense of yourself as truly independent. I'm OK, You're My Parents will help you leave behind childhood roles and fantasies about what you wish your parents were like and develop a new, empathetic relationship of equals. Drawing on Dr. Atkins's twenty-five years of experience as a relationship expert, the book is a comprehensive, articulate guide for everyone who is desperate to break free of fruitless, frustrating interactions and build a life that they and their parents can live with -- forever.

Download or read book Generation Wasted written by Iriowen Thea Ojo and published by Author House. This book was released on 2014-10-17 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the world to Jordan Vianney? Keira de Luna. Her laughter when for once it isn't fake, her love of written words, the way her hair falls over her face when she's trying to look into your eyes. That was the Jordan from freshman year. Sixteen-year-old Jordan's had a serious reality check--from finding pills in Keira's pockets, to arguments in the school parking lot and too many broken promises, along with 1,001 different warning signs. Worst of all, everyone keeps advising him to break up with her, as if that's what you do when the person you love needs you the most. They're wrong, aren't they? They're all so wrong. That's what sixteen-year-old Jordan thinks. Seventeen-year-old Jordan isn't so sure anymore. Told in the form of therapy sessions, phone calls, journal entries, and flashbacks, Generation Wasted combines substance abuse with the emotional turbulence of adolescence and shoves addiction into the spotlight by focusing on those who may be suffering even more than the addict: mothers, fathers, siblings, and in this case, boyfriends.

Download or read book EMDR Therapy Treatment for Grief and Mourning written by Roger M. Solomon and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2024-01-19 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The loss of a loved one can be very painful, with the mourner losing an important source of safety, connection, and life balance. Even when uncomplicated, bereavement can have a significant impact on the mourner. Traumatic circumstances can intensify the grief and complicate the mourning process. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy, an evidenced based treatment for trauma, can help process the trauma of the loss and the obstacles that interfere with the grief and mourning process. In this book, Roger M. Solomon guides the EDMR therapist through the treatment process by understanding grief reactions and the mourning process, providing an overall model of EMDR treatment for grief and mourning, and highlighting how EMDR can help a mourner experience a positive sense of connection through heartfelt, meaningful memories. The author presents an integrative model for EMDR therapy treatment based on the Adaptive Information Processing Model (AIP), which guides EMDR therapy. Several models of grief and mourning that inform EMDR treatment and a discussion of the eight phases and three prongs (past, present, and future) of EMDR therapy are presented, with many case examples including transcripts of sessions, to illustrate treatment principles and clinical teaching points.

Praised by the New York Times Book Review as “a masterful storyteller,” Silvis once again demonstrates that he can write short fiction as hypnotic as his novels, and with a distinctive and versatile voice that marks him as one of the best writers at work today.

Download or read book The B List written by Steve Buffum and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2008 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All over the world, the statues of Mary are miraculously crying. In the meantime, a journalist in Washington D.C. is diverted away from her own personal demons when she takes it upon herself to question why the Vatican is not declaring these occurrences as miracles after witnessing the unexplainable phenomena herself. The journalist suspects her nightly barage of haunting nightmares about the violent murders of countless women from five thousand year old priestesses to women accused of being witches in the seventeenth century may have something to do with the answer, as she investigates the biggest story of her life. Women all over the world in the 21st century are feeling "the awakening" as the discovery of ancient artifacts are disproving the beliefs set forth by patriarchal religions for thousands of years. When the journalist receives a visitation from a beautiful Goddess who at first appears to be the Virgin Mary, she suddenly realizes that an ancient religious and political cover up has grossly distorted some very important historical truths. As the journalist investigates and begins to publicly write about what she has uncovered, death threats and terror follow next as powerful members of the world's patriarchal religions and the age old male-run organizations that support them fight viciously to keep one of the world's oldest and most deceptive societal form of control against women hidden from the world. But as intimidation and threats increase, so too do the miracles and visitations from the real Sleeping Goddess, as she awakens once again, to bless and protect the world while igniting the hearts and souls of oppressed women everywhere.
