Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever felt so afraid to open up about your emotions that you felt helpless? Speaking up about your deepest and most sacred thoughts can be very challenging. Due to a long existing stigma around speaking on mental health and its effect on society, it can become even more uncomfortable to consider sharing your story. It is easy to feel that we are alone at times, or that no one would understand our challenges. I want you to consider this. Imagine what your life would look like if you were able to release years of trauma from the depths of your soul. Picture the peace of mind you would have. I want you to actually envision a life free of the overwhelming burden of bottling up your emotions. Author Clara Porterfield has experienced her share of mixed emotions. Growing up in conditions that weren't the healthiest at times, Clara spent a lot of her childhood harboring her emotions. That led to her carrying those years of pain and hurt into her adult years. At that point Clara had felt like she lost herself. In Confessions to the Therapist, Clara shares her story of how therapy changed the direction of her life. She discusses why and how she was able to address her past trauma and start to live a life of fulfillment. Through therapy, journaling, and other forms of self-care, Clara was determined to regain control of her destiny. She did just that, and now she is sharing some of her story in hopes that you will be encouraged and inspired. Clara Porterfield is a self-published author and a true woman of hope and inspiration. Her passion is to help others grow and push through life's challenges just as she learned to do through therapy and other wellness practices.
Book Synopsis Exploring Identities of Psychiatric Survivor Therapists by : Alexandra L. Adame

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about people that are uniquely situated between the realms of activism, within the Psychiatric Survivor Movement, and their careers as mental health professionals. It focuses on the co-authors’ navigation and juxtaposition of the roles of psychiatric survivor, mental health professional, and activist. Psychiatric Survivors is an international movement advocating for human rights in mental health systems and supporting humane and effective alternative options to mainstream practice for help-seeking. Drawing on past research as well as the co-authors’ own experiences, the volume explores identities of people who identify as both psychiatric survivors and mental health professionals, discussing the potential for further dialogue between psychiatric survivors and mental health professionals to create humane and person-centred communities of healing. This book is specifically targeted for practising psychotherapists and graduate students, to gain new insight into the Psychiatric Survivor Movement and to appreciate the value of lived experience and of psychiatric survivors’ efforts shaping the future of mental health care.

Book excerpt: Emerging Practice in Focusing-Oriented Psychotherapy brings together some of the world's most influential contemporary psychotherapists in the field to look at the future of Focusing-oriented approaches. Focusing-Oriented Psychotherapy - a form of therapy that involves listening to the innate wisdom of the body - is a dynamic and growing field that has evolved greatly since Eugene Gendlin first published the text Focusing-Oriented Psychotherapy in 1996. This book explores recent innovations such as Focusing-Oriented Psychotherapy as a response to trauma, Wholebody Focusing, and how Focusing has been adapted in Japan and South Korea. One section looks at specific contemporary issues and emerging practical applications of Focusing-Oriented Psychotherapy, such as how Focusing can be used in wellbeing counselling and to help decision making processes in counselling and therapy. By offering new alternatives to working effectively with difficult issues and specific client groups, this volume will appeal to a broad range of therapists, coaches, and other practitioners. Jessica Kingsley Publishers also publishes a companion volume, Theory and Practice of Focusing-Oriented Psychotherapy: Beyond the Talking Cure, edited by Greg Madison [9781849053242].

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wisdom, Attachment, and Love in Trauma Therapy focuses on the creation of the therapist as healing presence rather than technique administrator—in other words, how to be rather than what to do. Trauma survivors need wise therapists who practice with the union of intellect, knowledge, and intuition. Through self-work, therapists can learn to embody healing qualities that foster an appropriate, corrective, and loving experience in treatment that transcends any technique. This book shows how Eastern wisdom teachings and Western psychotherapeutic modalities combine with modern theory to support a knowledgeable, compassionate, and wise therapist who is equipped to help even the most traumatized person heal.

Book Synopsis Compelling Confessions by : Suzanne Diamond
Download or read book Compelling Confessions written by Suzanne Diamond and published by Fairleigh Dickinson. This book was released on 2010-12-10 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Compelling Confessions: The Politics of Personal Disclosure is a collection of essays whose shared purpose is to offer an accessible interdisciplinary exploration of the social dynamics behind confessional discourse. As various contributors to this collection demonstrate, confession is ubiquitous in contemporary culture, not only within psychological or therapeutic frameworks or literary analysis, but also in internet discussion groups, in the criminal justice system, in political rhetoric, in so-called 'reality' and interview-style television programming, in writing pedagogy and, increasingly, in the testimonial strain observable in contemporary scholarship. Yet, 'telling one's story' raises questions, not only about authorial intent or authenticity, but also about the pressures disclosure can impose upon its audiences. Far less ubiquitous than confessions themselves, as these contributors suggest, are the critical tools that general audiences might employ in order to better evaluate the rhetoric of personal disclosure. It is, in fact, the shortage of such tools – responses and procedures that could be stated plainly and implemented by any reader or viewer – that Compelling Confessions sets out to address.

Book Synopsis Unspeakable Truths and Happy Endings by : Rebecca Coffey
Download or read book Unspeakable Truths and Happy Endings written by Rebecca Coffey and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the electrifying tales of 15 survivors of catastrophic human cruelty at its narrative core, "Unspeakable Truths & Happy Endings" resoundingly illuminates both the necessity and difficulty of compassionate, sensible listening to survivors' tales of trauma. The book journalistically explores the affects of survivors's stories on compassionate listeners -- a group that includes therapists but that also includes friends, family, and even survivors themselves as they work and re-work the realities of their own experience. Along the way, the book addresses the flip side of compassionate listening; squabbles about victimhood and recovered memory. The book concludes that, as thinking and caring inhabitants of a menacing world, we must all learn to hear unspeakable truths. At the same time that we risk accepting the truths about violence and degradation that survivors' memories hold, we must reasonably engage critical thinking when memories of violence and degradation stretch the limits of our credulity. We owe it to survivors to listen compassionately; we owe it to ourselves to listen prudently.
