Sounds True Inc How We Grow Through What We Go Through:
Book SynopsisEven in the best of circumstances, life can sometimes seem like a parade of traumatic events. The good news is we come equipped with the ability to grow from our adverse experiences. Researchers call this response “post-traumatic growth,” or PTG. Psychologist and mindfulness educator Dr. Christopher Willard has gathered essential mind–body tools for PTG into one concise volume. After a brief crash course in the latest research on trauma and the mind–body connection, we learn to access our innate resilience through body-based practices, mindful awareness, and generating compassion for ourselves and others. This is the first easy-access guide to handling the traumas of everyday life, with a retro-modern design that follows on the author’s popular mindfulness titles for children. With just enough of the latest research to inspire confidence in our ability to regulate our trauma responses, and in the friendly voice of a fellow human under stress, Dr. Willard kindly guides us through a variety of strategies to help us more easily “grow through what we go through.”

Puddle Dancer Press The No-Fault Classroom: Tools to Resolve Conflict
Book SynopsisPositing a radically new understanding of the root of conflict—unmet needs—this analysis boldly directs students and teachers to recognize feelings as important messengers of those needs. Refocusing attention from feelings to the needs behind the feelings addresses the underlying problem rather than the symptom; with this objective, the concept of the “No–Fault Zone" is introduced. It is a place in the classroom free from criticism or blame where students learn trust and respect for one another, develop successful conflict-resolution skills, and the responsibility for resolution shifts from teacher to students. The complete conflict resolution curriculum is included, providing step-by-step guidance and making this classroom kit a time-saver for busy teachers.
