Download or read book What Our Dad Told Me Before I Killed Him written by Patrick Berlinger and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2017-06-28 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What Our Dad Told Me . . . Before I Killed Him is both a biography of my dad as well as an autobiography about myself, along with our immediate family, relatives, and many friends. It focuses on how our good, Christian, positive family went downhill from 1979 all the way through current times. It heavily involves a demon named Abaddon, who convinced our dad that he, Abaddon, was an angel who gave our dad a ministry of judging other people for the sins in their lives, including the judgment of death by praying for people's deaths, but then even killing many people himself with guns when God didn't kill them. And that ultimately meant our family, ourselves! But when our dad started to kill our mom, I ended up killing him. But then I was sent to prison for that, and so I also wrote about the legal system, being in prison for several years. I also followed all of that up with seeing our dad again, years later, delving and mulling about whether that was spiritual answers, or just mental problems of my own. So be it.

Download or read book An Applied Theory of Self written by Jorge A. Barriere-Mendez and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2015-08-06 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I stand here with a difficult task: to propose and to discuss an Applied Theory of Self that saved my life. Let me say that again – saved my life. I wish someone else had written it thirty years ago and had placed it in my hands. It would have been a life with less heartache and headaches. A better, fuller life. And so, this is why I’m here: I’m here to say that the reality you see, is not real. I’m here to say that those words you speak and those acts you author, are not yours. I’m here to say that life is not out there as you have been taught, but inside of you and that it is yours. I’m here to say that all that exist and will ever exist is now, here, right now. That it will always be NOW. I’m here to say that this is your movie, that this is your life, and I’m here to ask: what is it about? Your movie – what is it about? The question is not what is it about during, but what is it about at the end? I’m here to say that that decision you make right now, you are always making.! I’m also here to say that I’m not going to get metaphysical on you. Not religious. Not even philosophical. I’m here to say that if you wish, you can see what I’m about to say in a spiritual way, but it's not a requirement. I’m here to say that it's all about fears, that if you know and learn about fears you'll know all that there's to be known about you and about man. I’m here to point the way to authenticity, and to point the way 'out of the woods.' You must do the heavy lifting and the walking yourself, because this is your journey. This is your life. This is your movie. I’m here to ultimately ask: at the end of this movie of yours, what is it going to be about? I’ve got three steps. I’ve got twelve insights. I’ve got ninety-two enumerated addendums to these insights. These insights and their addendums will propose a simpler, truer reality where you can be yourself fearlessly. I’ve got a book, Out of the Woods, that may save your life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A breakthrough therapy in the mental health field, Rebuilding Therapy was developed by psychologist Michael Gass, primarily, as a means of assisting individuals and families in rebuilding psychologically from past mistreatment, dysfunction, or trauma. It incorporates methodology, techniques, and theory from Psychodrama, a vital part of Rebuilding Therapy, while integrating Transactional Analysis, primarily Structural Analysis and the influence of Script Analysis, and Redecision Therapy to create its distinctive theoretical foundations, methods, and approaches. Relaxation exercises or relaxation, which is equivalent to hypnosis, is used as needed. Rebuilding Therapy is based on the belief that a person is basically the product of his or her past. Its primary focus is for the patient to clinically relive major abusive, rejecting, traumatic, or negative life experiences in order to face unhealthy feelings, thinking, and decisions associated with them, which the patient can then release, change, and rebuild from. In addition to postbirth experiences, Rebuilding Therapy pays attention to prenatal influences and the birth process, regarding their effect on psychological functioning and personality development, while also addressing these factors therapeutically. Rebuilding Therapy also has the methodology to solely work with present issues as needed. In the first book on this reconstructive therapy, Gass details its theoretical foundations, methodology, and approaches to acquaint mental health and related professionals with its value on a short and long term basis; to expand on the understanding of personality development and psychological functioning; and to further expose this and related psychotherapies for use in other arenas on the local, state, and international levels in such areas as law enforcement, corrections, education, religion, business, politics, and international relations, with the aim of reducing conflict and inappropriate behavior and improving human relationships.
