At 15, Emily is a relatively typical teenage girl living in the Maritimes. She lives with her eccentric dad as he prepares to build a log cabin. She rides her beloved horse and spends all her free time taking in the fresh air. But things aren t perfect, the winters are harsh and her dad s place is cold and draughty. Enter their neighbour who sees a girl in need and offers to lend a hand. Three words:  Our Little Secret,  and Emily's fate is sealed.  Twenty five years later, Emily is adrift and depressed when she spots her neighbour again on a ferry. The events of that long-ago winter come rushing back, and she is forced to reckon with the past anew. She vows that she will bring him to justice, tell her secret, and come to terms with the wounds that defined so many years of her life. Inept lawyers, expensive therapy, and a broken justice system block Emily s path to peace. Only when she rediscovers her youthful artistic talent by putting pen to paper does she see a way out.  Now in her fifties, Carrington has crafted a compulsively readable debut that shows a powerful command of the comics medium. Our Little Secret is a testament to survival and to the importance of telling your story your way.","brand":"Drawn and Quarterly","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47851386503511,"sku":"9781770465466","price":21.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781770465466.jpg?v=1710635516"},{"product_id":"the-body-keeps-the-score-9780141978611","title":"The Body Keeps the Score","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTHE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER - OVER 3 MILLION COPIES SOLD\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e''Dr. van der Kolk''s masterpiece combines the boundless curiosity of the scientist, the erudition of the scholar, and the passion of the truth teller'' Judith Herman, author of \u003ci\u003eTrauma and Recovery\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe effects of trauma can be devastating for sufferers, their families and future generations.

Who, though, does this injunction serve?\u003cbr\u003eAs acclaimed scholar Nadia Abu El-Haj argues here, in the American public's imagination, the traumatized soldier stands in for destructive wars abroad, with decisive ramifications in the post-9\/11 era. Across the political spectrum the language of soldier trauma is used to discuss American warfare, producing a narrative in which traumatized soldiers are the only acknowledged casualties of war, while those killed by American firepower are largely sidelined and forgotten.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this wide-ranging and fascinating study of the meshing of medicine, science, and politics, Abu El-Haj explores the concept of post-traumatic stress disorder and the history of its medical diagnosis. While antiwar Vietnam War veterans sought to address their psychological pain even as they maintained full awareness of their guilt and responsibility for perpetrating atrocities on the killing fields of Vietnam, by the 1980s, a peculiar convergence of feminist activism against sexual violence and Reagan's right-wing \"war on crime\" transformed the idea of PTSD into a condition of victimhood. In so doing, the meaning of Vietnam veterans' trauma would also shift, moving away from a political space of reckoning with guilt and complicity to one that cast them as blameless victims of a hostile public upon their return home. This is how, in the post-9\/11 era of the Wars on Terror, the injunction to \"support our troops,\" came to both sustain US militarism and also shields American civilians from the reality of wars fought ostensibly in their name.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this compelling and crucial account, Nadia Abu El-Haj challenges us to think anew about the devastations of the post-9\/11 era.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA bracing, riveting, and vitally important critique of American empire and the ideological mechanisms for normalizing permanent warfare.

The tough subject is handled with extraordinary compassion, and written in a compellingly clear, warm style that will engage laypeople and psychotherapy professionals alike. While Vivian’s childhood experiences and resulting adulthood disorders are affectingly harrowing, the restorative twelve-year relationship between patient and therapist brings waves of joy.\u003cbr\u003e ‘After a horrific childhood, Vivian went on to a nursing career with no signs of trauma until she and her husband began couple therapy. It was then Vivian first spoke of the emotional, physical and sexual abuse she suffered as a child, and began to experience flashbacks, seizures and dissociative identity disorder (DID). As the author explains, “Dissociating is something we all do at times when we are feeling uncomfortable or in pain, either physically or emotionally… in order to relieve the discomfort we would otherwise experience”, but in extreme cases like Vivian’s, “dissociation can evolve into dissociative identity disorder (DID).”\u003cbr\u003e ‘This tells the story of two girls living within Vivian: six-year-old Little Vivvi (whose drawings are featured in the book) and teenage Izzy, and of the innovative therapies that spoke to Vivian during therapy, most notably Advanced Integrative Therapy, a form of “energy psychology” that holistically links body and mind, and draws on traditional knowledge like chakras.

Thank you to Vivian and all her internal family for allowing Gill to share their incredible journey. The genuineness and power of this story captures the innate drive to survive a childhood that is beyond horrendous.\u003cbr\u003e ‘Gill’s honesty with her own challenging journey, which runs parallel to that of Vivian and her internal family, allows the reader to share her roller coaster of emotions: elation, confusion, total despair, sadness, frustration, and, at times, peace and joy.\u003cbr\u003e ‘Clinicians reading this book will welcome how Gill continually emphasises the importance of the therapeutic relationship with all the parts and how, when this is firmly established and in partnership with Vivian, she introduces advanced integrative therapy (AIT), “Wooshing” to little Vivvi and “Calming Therapy” to Izzy. This offers a unique insight into how other therapies can support the core therapy when the conditions are right. Gill’s respectful curiosity and loving approach at all times is validating for each part, enabling trust to be experienced for the first time in their lives. Her firm and consistent boundaries, which are at the heart of the healing process, provide the bedrock on which this amazing journey unfolds. Making the links to difficulties in adult Vivian’s life helps us all to understand the impact of unresolved childhood abuse that continues to have an impact on every hour of every day.\u003cbr\u003e ‘This book has captured the way different personalities have developed, how important each role was in survival, and how logical they are within the context of Vivian’s childhood.

This engaging narrative describes the inevitable challenges to the therapist’s assumptions, theoretical framework, and technique presented by DID – and the need to adapt and respond to the particular traumas, roles and functions, and age-specific cognitions of different dissociative alters. A crucial component was the use of an energy psychology modality, known as AIT but internally called ‘Whooshing’. The resulting text is a very significant contribution to the literature in the three areas of trauma, DID, and energy psychotherapy.\u003c\/p\u003e -- Phil Mollon, PhD, psychoanalyst and energy psychotherapist. author of ‘Multiple Selves, Multiple Voices’\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is an inspirational book which tells gripping, interweaving real-life stories. First, it is about the respectful relationship between a thoughtful therapist and a courageous patient (and parts of a patient) with dissociative identity disorder. Second, with the subject hardly included in UK trainings, it helpfully shows Gill Frost’s responsible and reflective ways of making sense of what is happening, the hopes and hurdles. Third, we witness the hard work and integrity of all “the girls within” as they dare to tell their stories and offer their pieces of the jigsaw.

Driven by an irresistible compulsion to be where the night is darkest, he made a name for reporting with humanity and empathy from places where death and serious injury were not abstractions, and tragedy often just a moment's bad luck away.But all this time he struggled not to be overwhelmed by another story, his acute complex post-traumatic stress disorder', a condition arising from exposure to multiple instances of trauma experienced over a long period. This condition has caused him to suffer a number of mental breakdowns and hospitalisations. Despite this, and countless promises to do otherwise, he has gone back to the wars again and again.Why?In this powerful and intensely personal book, Keane interrogates what it is that draws him to the wars, what keeps him there and offers a reckoning of the damage done.PTSD affects people from all walks of life. Trauma can be found in many places, not just war. Keane's book speaks to the struggle of all who are trying to recover from injury, addiction and mental breakdown.

Central to the indigenous belief system is the plant teacher, Grandmother Ayahuasca, who communicates with people both during and after ceremonies. DMT (Dimethyltryptamine), the active ingredient in ayahuasca, is illegal in this country, listed on Schedule 1 as a dangerous drug with high potential for abuse and no medical benefits.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDespite the legal risks and the unfortunate fact that ayahuasca is a powerful purgative as well as a powerful psychedelic, there are increasing numbers of people in Western countries who have experienced the medicine. This fast-growing group of people is highly educated, mature and sophisticated, often dubbed cultural creatives. Some have suffered with intractable psychiatric illnesses who, failing to find relief from Western medicine, are seeking new hope with ayahuasca. Others are psychospiritual explorers who have learned about the benefits of ayahuasca, are connected enough to the subculture to find a safe opportunity to take it and are willing to run the risk of an exotic, illegal experience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eListening to Ayahuasca: New Hope for Depression, Addictions, PTSD, and Anxiety\u003c\/i\u003e explores how ayahuasca is being used in a Western, psychospiritual context. The underground ayahuasca community, with a level of sophistication far beyond most therapists, knows that this medicine can have an almost immediate anti-depressant effect. They know from personal experience that ayahuasca offers hope for those suffering from intractable depression, addictions, PTSD, death anxiety, and other suffering.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSeemingly miraculous accounts of healing of psychiatric symptoms have appeared in the mainstream media, notably “Hell and Back” (2006) by Kira Salak, published in \u003ci\u003eNational Geographic Adventure\u003c\/i\u003e — an article that according to the magazine’s editor-in-chief “received ‘20 times the reader response mail’ than any other article the magazine has published since its inception.” Some of this onslaught of interest is due to the fact that Salak enthusiastically described the immediate antidepressant benefits of ayahuasca.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eListening to Ayahuasca\u003c\/i\u003e is based on Rachel Harris’s original research, the largest study of ayahuasca use in North America, published in the peer-reviewed \u003ci\u003eJournal of Psychoactive Drugs\u003c\/i\u003e. The research questionnaire was sixteen pages long with extensive open-ended questions that people answered at great length. Respondents often wrote Harris personal letters because they wanted to share even more. There is an unusual amount of enthusiasm for ayahuasca and for research about its potential benefits, not like the psychedelic drug craze of the sixties, but a mature appreciation for the healing powers of this medicine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs a research scientist Harris wanted to know: What happens in the days and weeks following the ceremony? Do people find relief from psychiatric symptoms and does that relief last? Do people change their attitudes and behaviors and do they maintain these changes? Do ayahuasca infused insights generalize into daily life? Do transcendent experiences with ayahuasca translate into a more spiritual life? People in the ayahuasca community acknowledge the importance of integration following a ceremony but very little is known about facilitating such a therapeutic process.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs a therapist, Harris brings the reader into her office for an intimate glimpse into how people are using ayahuasca as part of their psychological healing and spiritual development. Her experience of working with people using ayahuasca is that the medicine is like a rocket boost along the psychospiritual path, helping people to heal from childhood and traumatic events as well as to explore spiritual states of being. Harris tells her own stories of ayahuasca ceremonies: suffering with nausea and vomiting, rising to ecstatic heights, surviving a bad trip, receiving advice from Grandmother Ayahuasca to do the research and struggling with questions about the reality of spirit realms.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePeople in her research study describe a great lifting of depression along with improvement in their close relationships. They report eating healthier diets and reducing their alcohol intake. These results describe central issues in psychotherapy: mood, addictions, personal relationships and self-care.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn contrast to these findings, therapists have had a poor track record trying to motivate people to improve their diets and other health behaviors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe most intriguing finding from the research was that 75% of the people said, “Yes” to the question: “Do you feel that you have a personal relationship with the spirit of ayahuasca?” People wrote paragraphs, enthusiastically sharing their personal experiences with this mysterious plant teacher.

This is grounded in the best of what we know about relational trauma. This book will enhance the most creative of us, and be a rich resource for those of us who doubt our own creativity.

The circle, the chakraic shape of grief, is always moving, infinitely spiraling in one direction or another, or simply moving in its place, round and round. Karla Helbert has moved with this energy of catastrophic loss and has directed it beautifully into its fullest potential with this book. While we cannot stop the energy of grief from its movement, we can learn how to be with it and allow it to transform into a bigger kind of energy: the kind of energy with which we can cope, the kind of energy that is productive and meaningful rather than destruction and absent of meaning. \u003cb\u003eWith tenderness and compassion, Karla introduces the reader to ancient wisdom, colors, oils, and stones for example, that pushes back against a more modern, medicalized approach to grief\u003c\/b\u003e.

It robs you from the space of fully being with your feelings and memories. In essence all you long for is to be yourself, and for the other to meet you with utter love and respect. There is no need for fixing, yet there is an inner longing of Being. The strongest message in this book is Karla's sharing of direct experience of feeling lost, how she stopped trying. This reveals the depth of the spiritual seeker, that one who is seeking to be inspired in finding freedom. This is the true meaning of all Vedic scriptures, to develop a relationship with your Inner Teacher and to let that guide you. \u003cb\u003eThe practical and sacred tools offered in this book, are open invitations.
