Book excerpt: "Rapprocher ces trois textes, écrits à trois moments assez éloignés dans le temps, est ici une manière de mettre en évidence ce qui pour moi fonde le geste d'écrire : Blessure et Trauma (puzzle), puis Hors-, ont en effet surgi de l'écriture même, sans intention préalable, comme si écrire avait pour fonction de mettre au jour ce qui de l'intime n'aurait pu se révéler autrement et témoignant à leur manière de plaintes sourdes et énigmatiques que l'écriture a contribué à reconstituer (puzzle) et donner à voir, sans tout à fait en dissiper l'épaisseur. Hors- , le plus récent, constitue dans cet ensemble un point d'orgue (mais rapide, voire à saisir dans l'instantané), ou de basculement, ouvrant sans doute à d'autres perspectives. Cette démarche, que je privilégie, se trouve ainsi à la croisée de l'écriture et de la psychanalyse, tout comme elle me mène aux limites (frontières), d'autres arts : les mots puisent dans les dessins et peintures que je réalise, comme ceux-ci peuvent également faire résonner ce qui ne peut être mis en mots. Ecrire, dessiner, sont ainsi des gestes, des mouvements, qui prolongent à leur manière le mouvement dansé que j'ai longtemps pratiqué. Tisser, mettre en lien, tenter de saisir ce qui inconsciemment travaille, tenter de dire et donner forme au plus près de ce qui s'écrit." Louise Brun
Download or read book The Trauma Heart written by Judy Crane and published by Health Communications, Inc.. This book was released on 2017-06-27 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The majority of people addicted to substances or process addictions such as relationship disorders, eating disorders, self-harming behaviors, gambling or pornography are trauma survivors. Many people caught in the web of addiction don't identify as trauma survivors until their personal, familial, intergenerational, and in-uterine history is exposed. Unfortunately, relapse is inevitable without trauma resolution that can only take place once their history is exposed. It is only when that happens that the behavior disorders will finally make sense. For almost 30 years Judy Crane has worked with clients and families who are in great pain due to destructive and dangerous behaviors. Families often believe that their loved one must be bad or defective, and the one struggling with the addiction not only believes it, too, but feels it to their core. The truth is, the whole family is embroiled in their own individual survival coping mechanisms—the addicted member is often the red flag indicating that the whole family needs healing. In The Trauma Heart, Crane explores the many ways that life's events impact each member of the family. She reveals the essence of trauma and addictions treatment through the stories, art, and assignments of former clients and the staff who worked with them, offering a snapshot of their pain and healing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is my life, and what the hell happened to it? Do you feel that your life is out of control and that one more loss is too much to handle? Do you obsessively try to control your world into a safe and loving place? Do you obsessively worry about your tomorrows and all the “what ifs”? Do have issues with trust or emotional intimacy with others? Do you carry anger toward other people, places, and things that may be a part of your past? Do you feel that you are fighting just to survive? Do you long for true love and belongingness? Do you feel emotionally that you are not safe? Do you doubt yourself and your abilities to live life your way? Do you worry that if people found out who you truly are, they will reject you? Do you feel that you need to earn others’ respect? Do you constantly feel shame and guilt just because you exist? Are you consistently trying to prove that you are worthy? Do you consistently isolate when times get hard? Do you focus on fitting in rather than sharing who you are? Do you compulsively drink, do drugs, exercise, eat, starve, etc. to kill the pain of anxiety? Do you struggle with initiating new projects or perhaps keeping a job? This then is the legacy of childhood trauma. It represents the obstacles we all face as we take our journey into healing. You can overcome. We all can.

Download or read book The Trauma of Everyday Life written by Dr. Epstein and published by Hay House, Inc. This book was released on 2014-07-07 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trauma does not just happen to a few unlucky people; it is the bedrock of our psychology. Death and illness touch us all, but even the everyday sufferings of loneliness and fear are traumatic. In The Trauma of Everyday Life renowned psychiatrist and author of Thoughts Without a Thinker Mark Epstein uncovers the transformational potential of trauma, revealing how it can be used for the mind's own development. Epstein finds throughout that trauma, if it doesn't destroy us, wakes us up to both our minds' own capacity and to the suffering of others. It makes us more human, caring and wise. It can be our greatest teacher, our freedom itself, and it is available to all of us. Western psychology teaches that if we understand the cause of trauma, we might move past it while many drawn to Eastern practices see meditation as a means of rising above, or distancing themselves from, their most difficult emotions. Both, Epstein argues, fail to recognize that trauma is an indivisible part of life and can be used as a tool for growth and an ever deeper understanding of change. When we regard trauma with this perspective, understanding that suffering is universal and without logic, our pain connects us to the world on a more fundamental level. Guided by the Buddha's life as a profound example of the power of trauma, Epstein's also closely examines his own experience and that of his psychiatric patients to help us all understand that the way out of pain is through it.

Download or read book Solving the Post Traumatic Stress Brain Injury Puzzle written by Linda Green and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2019-09-18 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I was blindsided. That's probably the best way to describe how it felt, as a perfect storm of forces was brewing, never before experienced by any of us, and descended it's wrath that day...and changed everything." - Linda Green, September 12, 2015. Linda Green was the Incident Commander on the devastating Valley Fire, which destroyed almost 2000 structures as it burned across 76,000 acres in the CAL FIRE Sonoma-Lake-Napa Unit, and the heartbreak of lives lost. But in the months that followed this life-altering traumatic event she refers to as "her fire", she knew something was very wrong, even though life seemed to be marching on as always...until it wasn't. The nuances were there immediately but were masterfully disguised by her well-worn habits of performance and responsibility. She didn't yet realize her free fall had begun into her own personal "hellfire". Linda was diagnosed with a Post-Traumatic Stress Injury just months before her retirement in 2016. Like millions of First Responders who are called to serve on the front lines, she dedicated a 32-year career to the safety of others. She was now called to accept her most important mission yet; as a First Responder to herself. Her own Post-Traumatic Brain Injury diagnosis would become an intricate and confusing puzzle to solve, and she would need to find the courage to be curious and create a roadmap to recovery. She now shares this roadmap to teach others so they too can find the courage to be curious about solving their Post Traumatic Brain Injury puzzle too. Throughout her own research and first person recovery and healing, she now believes that Post-Traumatic Growth is a theory in dire need of awareness and attention as well as Emergency Response Exhaustion Syndrome. While Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder - PTSD - has been an accepted diagnosis since 1980, she is one of a growing number of leading experts in this field, who believe in it's reclassification from Disorder to Injury. Linda is now a Certified High Performance Coach who uses her strategic principles and wisdom to guide other First Responders pre and post diagnosis through the discovery and recovery process. Her journey continues to teach her that the only way to get back up is to grab hold of a hand that will reach out to you as you fall. It is her genuine hope that her book acts as that hand reaching out to anyone who needs it. Author Linda Green served 32 years with the California Department of Forestry & Fire Prevention. She holds a B.A. in Business Management from the University of Phoenix and an A.S. in Fire Science from Fresno City College. With her broadened spectrum of service as a writer, author and Certified High Performance Coach, she uses her strategic principles and wisdom to guide other First Responders through the discovery process with unique puzzle-solving strategies pre and post diagnosis to create their own recovery roadmap. Linda and her husband Curtis recently celebrated their 31st wedding anniversary and live in a quiet town in northern California with two dogs.

Download or read book Embodied Trauma and Healing written by Anna Westin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-02-25 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if philosophy could solve the psychological puzzle of trauma? Embodied Trauma and Healing argues just that, suggesting that one might be needed in order to understand the other. The book demonstrates how the body-mind problem that haunted Descartes was addressed by phenomenologists, whilst also proposing that the human experience is lived subjectively as embodied consciousness. Throughout this book, the author suggests that the phenomenological tools that are used to explore the body can also be an effective way to discuss the physical and mental aspects of embodied trauma. Drawing on the work of Paul Ricœur, Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Emmanuel Lévinas, the book outlines a phenomenological approach to the embodied and relational subject. It offers a reading of embodied trauma that can connect it to wider conversations in psychological underpinnings of trauma through Peter Levine’s somatic research and Bessel van der Kolk’s embodied remembering. Connecting to the analytic tradition, the book suggests that phenomenology can unify both language-based and body-based therapeutic practice. It also presents a compelling discussion that ties the embodied experience of relation in trauma to the wider causal factors of social suffering and relational rupture, intergenerational trauma and the trauma of land, as informed by phenomenology. Embodied Trauma and Healing is essential reading for researchers within the fields of philosophy, psychology and medical humanities for it actively engages with contemporary configurations of trauma theory and recent research developments in healing and mental disorder diagnosis.

Download or read book Journey Through Trauma written by Gretchen L. Schmelzer, PhD and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For survivors of PTSD and repeated, relational trauma -- and the people who love them. Gretchen Schmelzer watched too many people quit during treatment for trauma recovery. They found it too difficult or too frightening or just decided that for them it was too late. But as a therapist and trauma survivor herself, Dr. Schmelzer wants us to know that it is never too late to heal from trauma, whether it is the suffering caused within an abusive relationship or PTSD resulting from combat. Sometimes what feels like a big setback is actually an unexpected difficult step forward. So she wrote Journey Through Trauma specifically for survivors--to help them understand the terrain of the healing process and stay on the path. There are three basic principles that every trauma survivor should know: Healing is possible. It requires courage. And it cannot be done alone. Traumas that happen more than once--child abuse, sexual abuse, domestic violence, gang violence, even war--are all relational traumas. They happened inside a relationship and therefore must be healed inside a relationship, whether that relationship is with a therapist or within a group. Journey Through Trauma gives us a map to help guide us through that healing process, see where the hard parts show up, and persevere in the process of getting well. We learn the five phases that every survivor must negotiate along the way and come to understand that since the cycle of healing is not linear, circling back around to a previous stage does not mean defeat - it actually means progress as well as facing new challenges. Authoritative and accessible, Journey Through Trauma provides support for survivors and their loved ones through one of the most challenging but necessary processes of healing that anyone can face.
Download or read book The Dark Womb written by Karen O'Donnell and published by SCM Press. This book was released on 2022-02-28 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The experience of reproductive loss raises a series of profoundly theological questions: how can God have a plan for my life? Why didn’t God answer my prayers? How can I have hope after such an experience? Who am I after such a loss? Sadly, these are questions that, along with reproductive loss, have largely been ignored in theology. Karen O’Donnell tackles these questions head on, drawing on her own experiences of repeated reproductive loss as she re-conceives theology from the perspective of the miscarrying person. Offering a fresh, original, and creative approach to theology, O’Donnell explores the complexity of the miscarrying body and its potential for theological revelation. She offers a re-conception of theologies of providence, prayer, hope, and the body as she reimagines theology out of these messy origins. This book is for those who have experiences such losses and those who minister to them. But it is also for all those who want to encounter a creative and imaginative approach to theology and the life of faith in our messy, complex world.
