Everyone said I needed to publish them, so here they are, and then it hit me. These are words from Jesus, the Holy Spirit.

This book was released on 2022-06-04T22:59:00Z with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The motto To be open is to be vulnerable, and to be vulnerable is to be weak underlies all the defensive maneuvers we use in war. We use this same rule of war when talking to each other, thinking that being guarded and closed is our best protection. #2 We can become defensive when we feel a need to protect ourselves from being hurt or controlled. We protect our ego, our self-image, when we talk to others, rather than protecting our body. #3 When we react defensively, treating even a loved one as an adversary, we stop seeing the complexity of the other person’s motivations. We see the other person’s reaction only in terms of how it is directed at us, as if they were an enemy approaching in battle. #4 When we are defensive with each other, we create emotional walls that prevent us from understanding that most people, like us, just want to live their lives.

Download or read book In Our Words written by Markus Reuber MD, PhD, FRCP and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-05-28 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Psychogenic Non-Epileptic Seizures (PNES) can cause blackouts, collapses, involuntary movements, loss of memory and have major impact on quality of life. Whereas epilepsy is caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain, PNES are psychological-based responses to triggers inside or outside the body that are perceived as threatening by the person affected. PNES are poorly understood by the medical community. It is common for doctors to struggle to explain this diagnosis, which can leave their patients frustrated and confused. Often people are told that their PNES are caused by "stress" and sent away with no further support or advice. It is no wonder that those affected feel isolated, abandoned and hopeless about living with the condition. In Our Words: Personal Accounts of Living with Non-Epileptic Seizures shows those diagnosed with PNES that they are not alone, and how others have courageously managed to come to terms with their seizures. These heartfelt personal accounts will also allow family, friends, healthcare providers and researchers to gain more understanding of the condition and work to provide a better quality of life to those living with PNES.
