Download or read book TRUST ME I M THE PATIENT Clean Language Metaphor and the New Psychology of Change written by Philip Harland and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2012-07-01 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Superb. Substantial. Entertaining. Informative." An essential read for anyone who finds themself counseling or working with others. Aimed mainly at psychotherapy and coaching, but readily translates into lessons for business, education, and everyday use. 'Trust Me, I'm The Patient' takes you step by step through a process that lends itself to the most profound therapeutic transformation and yet can be used informally at home, at work, or in the queue for the bus. Science, psychology, philosophy, and a vibrating peach are all part of the story in this far-reaching but readily accessible guide to the practice of Clean Language questioning, a knowledge of which will enable you to enter another person's world almost unnoticed and once there to tread very, very lightly. And what will happen as a result is that the person you facilitate will get to know - and change, and heal - themself. "Philip Harland takes us on a clear and compelling journey into the nuances of words, questions, and sentence structure, and explains why small changes make such a big difference to both listener and speaker. He guides us through the minefields of unclean practice and shows us how seductive and wasteful our projections and assumptions can be. If you have ever wanted an easier ride with clients and colleagues, family and friends, this book tells you how to let go the reins and facilitate them to take up their own. A fabulous addition to Clean resources and one that most closely matches the way the creator of Clean Language, the late David Grove, would explain himself. I defy anyone to read this book and not clean up their language." Caitlin Walker, educationalist, author of Clean Language and Systemic Modelling
Download or read book Miracles Still Happen Trust Me written by Mary LaShonda Webber and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2018-01-22 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Miracles Still Happen . . . Trust Me is about a young African-American woman from a rural country town of Northwest Louisiana (Coushatta) who had some unfortunate tragedies throughout life that began with being molested by two uncles. This molestation set the tone for keeping secrets throughout her life's journey. With a hidden teenage pregnancy, suicide attempt, homelessness, a failed abusive marriage, surviving cancer, and a neurological disorder, which resulted in a total body paralysis, it is only through continued prayer and strong faith in God's divine promises that she overcomes the many challenges from childhood through her adult years. Throughout her life, she experiences trials, tragedies, and triumphs. However, it is not until she is challenged with a total body paralysis and has to depend on her thirteen-year-old son as her caretaker that her faith is tested greater than ever before, and she regains the most compelling spiritual, mental, and emotional connection with God. Miracles Still Happen . . . Trust Me shows how God chose a broken, hurt, country girl who mothered a child out of wedlock and protected her from death numerous times to witness and share her life's miracles. These same miracles would be used to encourage every soul to pray, to build a relationship with God, and to never give up or never let anyone's opinion define who you are or determine who you can become. Each of us is a unique miracle from God. Each time life begins, a miracle happens. Every walk of life is designed to build and mold you into the miracle that you are. If only we would have faith, learn to listen, obey, and trust God's direction, we could rest assured that miracles still happen.

Download or read book Otherhood written by Melanie Notkin and published by Seal Press. This book was released on 2014-02-25 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This “essential read” (Gretchen Rubin) from the author of Savvy Auntie tells the funny, sexy, and sometimes heartbreaking stories of today's well-educated, successful women who expected love, marriage, and children, but instead find themselves in the “Otherhood” as their fertile years wane. More American women are childless than ever before—nearly half those of childbearing age don’t have children. While our society often assumes these women are “childfree by choice,” that’s not always true. In reality, many of them expected to marry and have children, but it simply hasn’t happened. Wrongly judged as picky or career-obsessed, they make up the “Otherhood,” a growing demographic that has gone without definition or visibility until now. In Otherhood, author Melanie Notkin reveals her own story as well as the honest, poignant, humorous, and occasionally heartbreaking stories of women in her generation—women who expected love, marriage, and parenthood, but instead found themselves facing a different reality. She addresses the reasons for this shift, the social and emotional impact it has on our collective culture, and how the “new normal” will affect our society in the decades to come. Notkin aims to reassure women that they are not alone and encourages them to find happiness and fulfillment no matter what the future holds. A groundbreaking exploration of an essential contemporary issue, Otherhood inspires thought-provoking conversation and gets at the heart of our cultural assumptions about single women and childlessness.
