Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now in 24 languages. Nature's Lessons in Healing Trauma... Waking the Tiger offers a new and hopeful vision of trauma. It views the human animal as a unique being, endowed with an instinctual capacity. It asks and answers an intriguing question: why are animals in the wild, though threatened routinely, rarely traumatized? By understanding the dynamics that make wild animals virtually immune to traumatic symptoms, the mystery of human trauma is revealed. Waking the Tiger normalizes the symptoms of trauma and the steps needed to heal them. People are often traumatized by seemingly ordinary experiences. The reader is taken on a guided tour of the subtle, yet powerful impulses that govern our responses to overwhelming life events. To do this, it employs a series of exercises that help us focus on bodily sensations. Through heightened awareness of these sensations trauma can be healed.

Download or read book Yawning at Tigers written by Drew Dyck and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2014-05-20 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A needed corrective to self-indulgent Christianity.” Philip Yancey “A stirring challenge.” Lee Strobel “A strong antidote against a domesticated God.” Matthew Lee Anderson When was the last time you were overawed by God’s majesty? Have you ever stood in stunned silence at his holiness and power? In our shallow, self-centered age, things like truth and reverence might seem outdated, lost. Yet we’re restless. And our failed attempts to ease our unrest point to an ancient ache for an experience of the holy. Drew Dyck makes a compelling case that what we seek awaits us in the untamed God of Scripture—a God who is dangerous yet accessible, mysterious yet powerfully present. He is a God who beckons us to see him with a fresh, unfiltered gaze. Yawning at Tigers takes us past domesticated Christianity, into the wilds where God’s raw majesty, love, and power become more real and transformative than we could ever imagine.

Download or read book Taming the Tiger written by Leon S. Levy and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A small program is presented to motivate the concerns for programmer productivity and program quality that are the central issues of this set of essays. The example is one which demonstrates the performance aspect of programming. In order to achieve program quality, where a program is understood and known to be correct, we need a primary program description. This primary program description not only describes the program but is also used to generate the program. The method of applying primary program descriptions to produce programs is called metaprogramming and is described in Chapter 3. In the later chapters, we show how the method can be analyzed from an economic point of view to address the issues of productivity as well. 1 Introduction In thinking about programming over the last decade, I have concluded that very little is known about the process of programming or the engineering of software [1]. The consequence of having very little established truth to use as a basis for thinking about programming is that almost every conclusion must be reasoned out from first principles. Also, you cannot rely solely on textbooks but must use experimentation and direct observation to gain some experience with which to proceed.

Download or read book Taming the Tiger written by Mark Odland and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-07-07 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in a world ripped apart by trauma. Just turn on the news, and there it is. Another war, another attack, another epidemic. And even if we turn off the news, we're left with the reality of our lives, and the challenges within our own families. Illness, death, broken relationships... and there's our regrets... our doubts... our insecurities, and our fears... all amplified by unhealed wounds from the past. So often, we try to ignore these wounds. But over time, it catches up with us. Whether we like to admit or not, our past shapes us. It shapes not only how we see the world, but it literally changes our brains. From 1995-1997 Kaiser Permanente did a massive study of over 17,000 subjects to try and better understand the way trauma experienced in childhood impacted individuals long-term. In what is now known as the (ACE) study, because it focused on "Adverse Childhood Experiences," subjects completed confidential surveys, allowing researchers to gather data on their experiences of physical, sexual, and emotional abuse; emotional and physical neglect; and negative household experiences like divorce, addiction, violence and incarceration... and the results were jaw-dropping. The researchers found that not only were these adverse childhood experiences very common, but that as the number of these experiences increased, so did the individual's risk for a whole host of problems later in life. One might expect that there would be some mental health issues because of childhood pain... but the big surprise was the direct link between these painful experiences and an increased likelihood of having medical and socio-economic problems later in life... like addiction, heart disease, liver disease, financial stress, academic problems, risky behaviors, suicide attempts, and domestic violence. One of the big takeaways from this study was the importance of not only trying to minimize and prevent these painful experiences from happening, but also... (here's where EMDR comes in)... also trying to heal the emotional trauma so that these problems later in life don't have to manifest the same way. Yes, there is a silver lining in all this. There is a ray of light in the midst of so much darkness in this world. With EMDR therapy, trauma can permanently heal, allowing individuals to live healthier, more joyful lives, and break the destructive patterns passed down from generation to generation. In this sense, EMDR truly can change the world! And I'm so honored to tell you about it. My name is Mark Odland, and I'd like to personally welcome you to this crash course on EMDR therapy and how it can transform your life. EMDR therapy is, simply put, the most groundbreaking and powerful therapy out there. Its 8-phase process is highly researched, and has been empirically validated by over 2 dozen randomized studies of trauma victims. It's recognized by the American Psychiatric Association, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and the Department of Defense. It's also one of only two trauma therapies endorsed today by the World Health Organization for treating PTSD. From the outside, it can look a little too good to be true. But the research doesn't lie. EMDR is the real deal, and it's here to stay. But to be clear, this course itself is not EMDR therapy, because EMDR is something you'd receive over the course of several weeks or months from a trained, mental health professional. This course itself isn't therapy, and it's not a quick fix. But it is an in-depth introduction to EMDR therapy. My goal is to take the mystery out of it... to pull back the curtain to show you exactly what it is, how it works, why it works, and how it can help you or someone you love find lasting healing from trauma. Knowledge is power, and my hope is that this course helps you see, and believe, that emotional pain doesn't have to have the last word. That old hurts can, in fact, heal... permanently.
Book Synopsis Taming the Tiger Parent by : Tanith Carey
Download or read book Taming the Tiger Parent written by Tanith Carey and published by How To Books. This book was released on 2015-02-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the moment the umbilical cord is cut, today's parents feel trapped in a never-ending race to ensure their child is the brightest and the best. But while it's completely natural for us to want our kids to reach their potential, at what point does too much competition become damaging? With constant testing in schools also raising the stakes, how can we tell when hot-housing children is actually doing more harm than good? Tanith Carey presents the latest research on what this contest is doing to the next generation. She explains why, far from making our children more go-getting and successful, it can backfire with life-long repercussions, damage their emotional well-being and fracture their relationships with the very people who love them most: their parents.
Download or read book Anger written by Thich Nhat Hanh and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2001-09-10 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "[Thich Nhat Hanh] shows us the connection between personal, inner peace and peace on earth." –His Holiness The Dalai Lama Nominated by Martin Luther King, Jr. for a Nobel Peace Prize, Thich Nhat Hanh is one of today’s leading sources of wisdom, peace, compassion and comfort. It was under the bodhi tree in India twenty-five centuries ago that Buddha achieved the insight that three states of mind were the source of all our unhappiness: wrong knowing, obsessive desire, and anger. All are difficult, but in one instant of anger—one of the most powerful emotions—lives can be ruined, and health and spiritual development can be destroyed. With exquisite simplicity, Buddhist monk and Vietnam refugee Thich Nhat Hanh gives tools and advice for transforming relationships, focusing energy, and rejuvenating those parts of ourselves that have been laid waste by anger. His extraordinary wisdom can transform your life and the lives of the people you love, and in the words of Thich Nhat Hanh, can give each reader the power "to change everything."
