Book excerpt: In Tic Talk: Living with Tourette Syndrome, Dylan Peters shares what he learned of tolerance and acceptance during the first five years with Tourette Syndrome. In a style that is often humorous and always insightful, Dylan helps others, young and old, understand TS and the enormous pressures this little-understood affliction places on those who have it and on those who love them. Dylan Peters was only four years old when he was diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome. Over the five years since, he's battled the fears and insecurities that come from having this often misunderstood affliction. Dylan is both an inquisitive young man and a gifted writer. What he shares with readers will help us all understand not only Tourette Syndrome, but also to be more accepting of all people. Dylan has given the world a most valuable look into his world. We are all the wiser and more compassionate for it. Tourette Syndrome is a neurological disorder that affects approximately one in 1,000 children, most often between the ages of six and nine. It's a gift to have such a youngster as Dylan be willing and able to convey to the rest of us just what his life is like. Whether he intended to or not, Dylan's message of acceptance for those with Tourette Syndrome is equally applicable to others we encounter who may be facing entirely different problems. Such is the wisdom of this young man. Dylan chose his friend, Zachary Wendland, to be the illustrator for his book. Zachary's drawings convey a similarly deep understanding of acceptance and tolerance for others.

Download or read book Translating Air written by Kath MacLean and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2018-09-28 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The hunt over; the kill complete / limping towards perfection, padding / about the room, thorns in her thumbs / Hermes crawling on all fours – / That was the last I saw of Hilda. What is it to remember a life, to relive it, to mythologize it? Things that were said or not said haunt us for a lifetime. In Translating Air Kath MacLean imagines conversations between the modernist poet H.D. and Sigmund Freud during the poet's sessions with him in 1933 to 1934 and the dialogues that continued long afterwards in H.D.'s own mind. Shadowed by uncertainty and memory lapses or blinded by flashes of profound truth, readers are transported to a world of myth, continuity, and human connection. H.D.'s palimpsest account of herself as girl and woman, writer and Imagist, and psychic and spiritualist is engaging and elastic as it pulls readers into a space where time is both endless and sure. Questioning her sanity and a world gone mad with war, H.D.'s personal accounts help us understand what it means to love deeply, to feel passionately, and to think beyond the limits of our individual consciousness. MacLean demystifies and humanizes one of the most misunderstood modernist writers in this stunning collection. Translating Air takes us on a remarkable journey into the known and unknown and allows readers to experience one remarkable woman's struggle to get it right, to live life with dignity, hope, wisdom, and the courage to have no regrets.

Download or read book Managing Tic and Habit Disorders written by Kieron P. O'Connor and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2017-08-10 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A pioneering guide for the management of tics and habit disorders Managing Tic and Habit Disorders: A Cognitive Psychophysiological Approach with Acceptance Strategies is a complete client and therapist program for dealing with tics and habit disorders. Groundbreaking and evidence-based, it considers tics and habit disorders as part of the same spectrum and focuses on the personal processes that are activated prior to a tic and habit rather than the tic or habit itself. By drawing on acceptance and mindfulness strategies to achieve mental and physical flexibility in preparing action, individuals can release unnecessary tension, expend less effort and ultimately establish control over their tic or habit. The authors explain how to identify the contexts of thoughts, feelings and activities that precede tic or habit onset, understand how self-talk and language can trigger tic onset, and move beyond unhelpful ways of dealing with emotions - particularly in taking thoughts about emotions literally. They also explore how individuals can plan action more smoothly by drawing on existing skills and strengths, and overcome shame by becoming less self-critical and more self-compassionate. They conclude with material on maintaining gains, developing new goals, and creating a more confident and controlled lifestyle. Managing Tic and Habit Disorders is a thoughtful and timely guide for those suffering from this sometimes all-consuming disorder, and the professionals who set out to help them.

Following a growing scholarly interest in political discourses, dialogic forms of news production and media talk in general, a number of internationally acclaimed scholars investigate the discursive and interactional practices that give rise to the arena of public politics in contemporary society. Chapters span an array of cultural contexts, as diverse as Sweden, Greece, Belgium (Flanders), the U.K., Spain, Israel, the U.S.A., Australia and China. Authors combine an interest in discourse analysis and conversation analysis with different disciplinary orientations, such as linguistics, media and cultural studies, sociology, political science, and social psychology. The book uncovers current trends in media and political discourse, and will be of interest to both students and scholars of media discourse and politics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Well, hello there! My name is Alina, and I'm excited to share my journey through life with Tourette's in this book. I mean, who doesn't want to read about a lovely lady with a potty mouth and an uncontrollable urge to twitch and shout, am I right? So, let me start by saying that having Tourette's is not all bad. Sure, I may look like a freakshow to some, but I like to think of myself as a one-woman circus act. I mean, who needs acrobats and clowns when you have me around, right? In this book, I'm going to take you through my Tourette's journey, from the moment I first started ticking to my struggles in the workplace. But don't worry, I won't bore you with medical jargon and scientific explanations. I'll leave that to the doctors and scientists who get paid the big bucks. Instead, I'm going to share with you the joys of twitching and shouting, the awkward moments in school, and the challenges of dating with Tourette's. Spoiler alert: it's not easy, folks. But hey, at least I have an excuse for being single, right? I'll also be sharing some of my tried-and-failed coping mechanisms, like meditation and deep breathing. Who needs Zen when you can just scream obscenities at the top of your lungs? Trust me, it's much more cathartic. And let's not forget about the humor in tics. Yes, I know it sounds crazy, but sometimes I can't help but laugh at myself when I'm ticking like a maniac in public. It's like my own personal comedy show. But unfortunately, not everyone sees the humor in it. In fact, there's still a lot of stigma surrounding Tourette's. Some people still think we're possessed by the devil or just plain crazy. But don't worry, I'll teach you how to convince people that you're not a lunatic. So, get ready to laugh, cry, and cringe as I take you on a journey through life with Tourette's. And who knows, maybe by the end of this book, you'll be twitching and shouting right alongside me.
