Book excerpt: Does our story begin before we take our first breath? Exploring the lives of four generations in one family, GENERATIONS DEEP reveals the unhealthy patterns of behavior that can repeat from one generation to the next, uncovering how we can find ourselves trapped in a cycle of dysfunction if we don't take the time and effort to repair the damage of the past. Gina Birkemeier - a licensed professional counselor, author and speaker - shares her personal story, along with self-help components throughout the book, which allow you to navigate through your own journey toward healing. Gina examines how unaddressed trauma, emotional wounds and false beliefs are passed down and how we can break those cycles that harm us and those we love. As she shares her raw and sometimes heartbreaking story - as well as the stories of her ancestors-we see how our beliefs and behaviors are influenced by the emotional health of our caregivers. Gina tells a story of bondage to freedom and of shame to self-compassion. Faith and therapy played important roles in Gina's personal healing, and with nearly two decades of experience in counseling and ministry, she uses her personal and professional knowledge to implore us to do our own work to heal. Gina encourages us to consider mental, physical, emotional and spiritual help in doing so. Offering questions and theories to consider, including a questionnaire created with the help of sixty therapists, Generations Deep will guide you toward your own growth where it's possible to slay shame and find freedom - for yourself and for generations to come. If you are looking for a guide on your journey from familial chaos to peace, clarity, and forgiveness, you need this book. GENERATIONS DEEP is immensely practical, but it will also have you in tears, in shock, and ultimately inspired to live your very best life. Read this book at your own risk though, because it will forever change how you see yourself and your family.

Download or read book Trauma Stewardship written by Laura van Dernoot Lipsky and published by Berrett-Koehler Publishers. This book was released on 2009-05-08 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This beloved bestseller—over 180,000 copies sold—has helped caregivers worldwide keep themselves emotionally, psychologically, spiritually, and physically healthy in the face of the sometimes overwhelming traumas they confront every day. A longtime trauma worker, Laura van Dernoot Lipsky offers a deep and empathetic survey of the often-unrecognized toll taken on those working to make the world a better place. We may feel tired, cynical, or numb or like we can never do enough. These, and other symptoms, affect us individually and collectively, sapping the energy and effectiveness we so desperately need if we are to benefit humankind, other living things, and the planet itself. In Trauma Stewardship, we are called to meet these challenges in an intentional way. Lipsky offers a variety of simple and profound practices, drawn from modern psychology and a range of spiritual traditions, that enable us to look carefully at our reactions and motivations and discover new sources of energy and renewal. She includes interviews with successful trauma stewards from different walks of life and even uses New Yorker cartoons to illustrate her points. “We can do meaningful work in a way that works for us and for those we serve,” Lipsky writes. “Taking care of ourselves while taking care of others allows us to contribute to our societies with such impact that we will leave a legacy informed by our deepest wisdom and greatest gifts instead of burdened by our struggles and despair.”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part personal testimony, part journey of self-discovery and transformation, this book is for any adult who has experienced abuse and trauma early in life. It's the book the author wished she had to help her navigate the realities of being different while not socially or culturally fitting in with her peers. Because of the dysfunctional family she was born into, the author spent her childhood in the Foster Care System. Even as a young adult, she felt misjudged, overlooked, and counted out of many opportunities because unhealed childhood trauma and underdeveloped life skills influenced her actions, attitudes, belief systems and choices. Like the author, you too may have become good acquaintances with masking resulting in Imposter Syndrome. Your feelings of shame, guilt, or even regret because of past hurts resulted because of wrongfully owing responsibility for what happened to you. Though you feel the negative impact of this life sucking energy robbing you of peace, joy, meaningful relationships, and a hope for a joy filled future, you're unsure of how to do life differently. The author kindly invites you to journey alongside her as you work to unpack your closet of trauma drama which led you to wearing masks as a survival mechanism. Though these pages you will begin to see what you've never seen as you interact with complete vulnerability (unmasked that is). Accepting this invitation will result in you growing in love toward yourself. If you are ready to experience a new level of confidence and maybe for the first time in your life, enjoy a version of yourself that you've only dreamed of grab a pen, a quiet space, and flip the page. This book is a mixture of the author's personal experiences with childhood abuse, trauma, and the process used to transform her life. Her intimate sharing is sprinkled with scripture readings for those who are saved but still struggle. It will enlighten and encourage you to move toward freeing yourself bit by bit from the beautiful person you know but has yet to introduced to the world. Through journaling prompts, you will be inspired to be honest with yourself about past hurts and destructive habits, while giving you practical tools to help you show up unapologetically, without the masks to achieve the personal freedom your soul years for. Here's what you will learn in this book: WHY me...? Understanding who you are and the purpose for which your Creator made you is a critical foundational understanding you must work to become clear on. You will have opportunities to evaluate the importance of your faith as you gain hope for your future. Now WHAT...? You will be encouraged to take a journey after every chapter. Be prepared to be strengthened as you authentically own your trauma experiences. By answering questions and journaling your hidden thoughts, you are working to release years of shame, guilt or regret that causes you to mask your greatness. But HOW...? Practical tools you can use repeatedly as you practice being fully honest with yourself and others in a healthy way.

Download or read book Un Silencing Youth Trauma written by Laurie A. Garo and published by IAP. This book was released on 2022-03-01 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Urban violence, poverty, and racial injustice are ongoing sources of traumatic stress that affect the physical, emotional and cognitive development and well-being of millions of children each year. Growing attention is therefore directed toward the study of child trauma and incorporation of trauma-sensitive practices within schools. Currently such practices focus on social and emotional learning for all children, with some in-school therapeutic approaches, and outside referrals for serious trauma. There is inadequate attention to racial injustice as an adverse childhood experience (ACE) confronting Black males among other youth of color. Although there are guidelines for trauma-sensitive approaches, few are culturally responsive. And it is now critical that educators consider the traumatic impacts of a dual pandemic (covid-19 and racism) on children and their education. This timely book thus serves to inform and inspire transformative healing and empowerment among traumatized children and youth in pandemic/post-pandemic school and after-school settings. The reader will learn about trauma through actual experiences. Researchers and practitioners present approaches to healing that can be adapted to local situations and settings. The book consists of four parts: Youth Voices on Traumatic Experience; Trauma-focused Research; Culturally Responsive and Trauma Sensitive Practices; and Where do we go from Here? Suggestions for Next Steps. Each part contains a set of themed chapters and closes with a youth- authored poetic expression. The book is especially designed for those working in urban education. However, anyone whose work is related to traumatized children and youth will find the book informative, especially in a post-pandemic educational environment.

It aims to help readers understand the emotional processes of boarding and the psychological aspects of survival, outlining the steps toward recovery and the repercussions of survival.

Trauma, Abandonment and Privilege will be of interest to therapists, counsellors and mental health workers across the UK. It will also be relevant to those who are well acquainted with boarding schools based on the UK model, for example in Canada, Australia, New Zealand and India.

Book excerpt: From a physician and post-traumatic stress disorder specialist comes a nuanced cartography of PTSD, a widely misunderstood yet crushing condition that afflicts millions of Americans. "Dr. Jain’s beautiful prose illuminates this widely misunderstood condition and makes for fascinating reading. It is a must for anyone who has a survived trauma, their loved ones and the healthcare professionals who care for them." --Irvin Yalom, bestselling author of When Nietzsche Wept The Unspeakable Mind is the definitive guide for a trauma-burdened age. With profound empathy and meticulous research, Shaili Jain, M.D.—a practicing psychiatrist and PTSD specialist at one of America’s top VA hospitals, trauma scientist at the National Center for PTSD, and a Stanford Professor—shines a long-overdue light on the PTSD epidemic affecting today’s fractured world. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder goes far beyond the horrors of war and is an inescapable part of all our lives. At any given moment, more than six million Americans are suffering with PTSD. Dr. Jain’s groundbreaking work demonstrates the ways this disorder cuts to the heart of life, interfering with one’s capacity to love, create, and work—incapacity brought on by a complex interplay between biology, genetics, and environment. Beyond the struggles of individuals, PTSD has a tangible imprint on our cultures and societies around the world. Since 9/11 and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, there has been a huge growth in the science of PTSD, a body of evidence that continues to grow exponentially. With this new knowledge have come dramatic advances in the effective treatment of this condition. Jain draws on a decade of her own clinical innovation and research and argues for a paradigm shift in how PTSD should be approached in the new millennium. She highlights the myriads of ways PTSD care is being transformed to make it more accessible, acceptable, and available to sufferers via integrated care models, use of peer support programs, and technology. By identifying those among us who are most vulnerable to developing PTSD, cutting edge medical interventions that hold the promise of preventing the onset of PTSD are becoming more of a reality than ever before. Combining vividly recounted patient stories, interviews with some of the world’s top trauma scientists, and her professional expertise from working on the frontlines of PTSD, The Unspeakable Mind offers a textured portrait of this invisible illness that is unrivaled in scope and lays bare PTSD's roots, inner workings, and paths to healing. This book is essential reading for understanding how humans can recover from unspeakable trauma. The Unspeakable Mind stands as the definitive guide to PTSD and offers lasting hope to sufferers, their loved ones, and health care providers everywhere.
