There's a cruel science experiment in which a frog is placed into a pot of cool water and heated slowly, one degree at a time. With such a gradual rise in temperature, the frog barely notices and is boiled alive. This is the predicament in which Annie found herself. Had her husband Ed become violent on their wedding night, she surely would have fled immediately. But instead, the marriage slowly deteriorated. She realized something wasn't right, but kept trying to make it work. If only she could have been a better cook, prettier, more fun, Ed would have loved her. It was only after a beating, in which she was thrown repeatedly against a door, that Annie finally took their 14-month-old son and left. This is a true story, written as a down-to-earth, daily journal and includes prayer, poetry, and Scripture. It's a story of faith, family, friendship, and survival.
This story is about my life. The path that was etched out for me and the road I chose to take. It is about emotional, verbal, and other types of abuse. It shows how insidious it can be. It also shows how we adapt to situations and circumstances. Although it tends to jump from one instance to another, that was how my life was. We have all been in scenarios where we knew what we had to do but weren’t sure how much strength we had to endure its solution. I am not by any means proud of my situation; the only thing I can say in my behalf is I learned to survive any way I could.
Are you walking on eggshells? Do you dread it when your honey comes home from work? Do you wake up hopeful and go to bed sobbing? Did you used to be confident and independent but now you second guess your every choice even if you have a powerful career? If the beginning of your relationship was wonderful and you thought you found your soul mate yet now it seems like every day there's an argument about something, you may be dancing in the gaslight. If you find yourself trying to prevent fights by trying to avoid triggers but you end up in a fight anyway, you may be getting gaslighted. Gaslighting is a technique that abusers use to manipulate their targets. It can be subtle and may occur over years while the gaslighter leads a secret life, embezzles money, gambles, drinks, or any other number of things. Gaslighting is used to distract the target from what is really going on. Find out if maybe the unease you've been feeling can be a sign that you're being gaslighted by learning the signs and flags in part three of the Gaslight Survivor Series: Dancing in the Gaslight.
H-E-A-R-THeart Energy Always Reveals Truth. Life Inside Out offers examples of how living from our hearts will always guide us to the truth of any situation, whether individually or globally. We all have the wisdom within us, but we have forgotten how to access it. We are habituated to living in our heads. The mind is a mixed bag of past fictions. When we judge present situations and relationships from these mental stories, we are not seeing clearly or truthfully. To survive and thrive in the world today, we all need to rediscover our heart mind. We open up by going within to listen to the heart. Each moment is unique, and each individual is unique. Only the heart is equipped to interpret the true meaning of our lives. Life Inside Out presents everyday situations that help to tune out the mind chatter and turn up the volume of our heart wisdom. S. Joy Hart is a student and teacher of metaphysics, world mythologies, philosophy, and spiritual science. Her focus is on finding the common patterns within each, in order to make them relevant to our everyday lives. She lives and writes in northern California.
This book is designed as a treatment manual for using family-based treatments with children struggling with mental illness, supporting both family therapists and the families they are helping. Based on over 40 years of research, it has been shown that involving the entire family in treatment is effective. However, family therapy is still not used as a first line of treatment. Paul Sunseri explains and explores why family-based approaches should be used with struggling young people and how this can be applied in practice. Chapters discuss the causes, contributors, and social determinants for the rise in childhood mental illness and provide empirical evidence and treatments for working with children and adolescents suffering from self-harm, suicidal ideation, anxiety, anger, and depression. Filled with case studies throughout, the book also touches on mitigating the effects of screen time in our increasingly technological lives and interventions to help reluctant children participate in therapy. This book will be invaluable reading for graduate-level students, clinicians in training, and fully licensed clinicians, such as psychologists, psychiatrists, marriage and family therapists, and clinical social workers. The book is also a practical resource for parents and other caregivers; it pulls back the curtain on therapy and teaches parents exactly what to do to best love and support their child at a time when they need it the most.
"... powerfully renders what it’s like to live life to the fullest." Publishers Weekly Starred Review My name is Mickey Rowe. I am an actor, a theatre director, a father, and a husband. I am also a man with autism. You think those things don’t go together? Let me show you that they do. Growing up, Mickey Rowe was told that he couldn’t enter the mainstream world. He was iced out by classmates and colleagues, infantilized by well-meaning theatre directors, barred from even earning a minimum wage. Why? Because he is autistic. Fearlessly Different: An Autistic Actor's Journey to Broadway's Biggest Stage is Mickey Rowe’s story of growing up autistic and pushing beyond the restrictions of a special education classroom to shine on the stage. As an autistic and legally blind person, living in a society designed by and for non-disabled people, it was always made clear to Mickey the many things he was apparently incapable of doing. But Mickey did them all anyway—and he succeeded because of, not in spite of, his autism. He became the first autistic actor to play the lead role in the play The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, landed the title role in the play Amadeus, co-created the theatre/philanthropy company Arts on the Waterfront, and founded the National Disability Theatre. Mickey faced untold obstacles along the way, but his story ends in triumph. Many people feel they are locked out of the world of autism—that it’s impossible to even begin to understand. In Fearlessly Different, Mickey guides readers to that world while also helping those with autism to feel seen and understood. And he shows all people—autistic and non-autistic alike—that the things that make us different are often our biggest strengths.
Working with both the perpetrators and victims of intimate partner abuse has given the author a unique insight into the tactics employed by the male abuser. He suggests that male intimate abuse and violence are driven by an entitlement to sexual priority and that the other tactics of control and violence are motivated by this entitlement. It is this motivation that distinguishes male intimate violence from other forms of `domestic violence' such as female to male violence and elder abuse --
