Описание: "It`s wild writing: sexy, unguarded, raw, and ardent ... highly recommended."-The Millions
IN THIS INTENSELY PERSONAL MEMOIR, Staci Sprout offers a vulnerable account of her recovery journey from the painful world of sexual intrigue and addiction.
She was an honors student and cheerleader, and later a talented young social worker, but her life had a dark twist even her closest friends didn't suspect. Childhood sexual abuse and exposure to pornography had ignited a drive to be sexual that eventually threatened to unravel her sanity and her life. Desperate for relief, she tried psychotherapy, hypnotism, bodywork, and traditional and pagan spirituality. Nothing helped until a near-death experience became a turning point and she found her way into the rooms of 12-Step recovery for sex addiction.
Staci's story reveals what can happen when a woman refuses to give up in her fight for dignity and freedom. The wisdom that emerges will be both a roadmap and inspiration for anyone, male or female, who struggles with sexual addiction - and to their loved ones.

Описание: After "Hobby Trumps Heartache" launched last year the Broken Giant series, Pat Clisham brings another stunning first-person narrative portrait of the heart and soul of the life story of an aging man whose end is near. And it isn't pretty. Kenny Duggan, a Maryland kid athlete from nothing, becomes something of a success in the business big leagues . Kenny traces for us his humble roots laced with his secret search for sanity as a youngster. Does family trauma wound us forever? Or does family trauma drive us to succeed? Or is history destined to repeat itself in our quest for fame, fortune, pride, recognition, status or cash? In what dimension of living does a child of the 50's learn to reach contentment in old age? Whether it is his struggles with alcohol or his continuous climbing the mountain of surviving in the rough and tumble of car sales, Duggan allows us to see, up close and personal, every twist and turn of turmoil with the odds stacked against him from 1st grade on. This touching memoir of Kenny's life is the unvarnished truth about how you maybe get in life what you put into it. And if you build effective resources, life has a way of rewarding you. And if you don't, "Tomorrrow's Sorrows" may hold sharp edged outcomes. Clisham once again offers us a comprehensive take on an Everyman, the good, the bad, the ugly, and then some. The depth of pain and honesty or even grit from this true story rarely are revealed among today's barrage of instant information about politics, sports, or entertainment figures which blur the high hurdles of the millions who live away from Main St. or the glare of lights.

Описание:
The New Asylum is the third volume in a series of free-verse poetry anthologies and personal memoirs from Australian author Frank Prem (Small Town Kid, Devil In The Wind).
This collection is an expos of life in the public psychiatric system, spanning five decades and describing sometimes graphically, sometimes ironically, often poignantly, and always honestly, a search for meaning in extraordinary and often incomprehensible circumstances.
The journey begins with childhood experiences of watching immigrant parents earn their living in the Mayday Hills Mental Asylum... progresses through the oddities and antics of psychiatric nurse training in the 1970s... on to the high-pressure coalface of managing regional centres facing an inundation of modern urban challenges... and finally, settles into the generally calmer waters of a small town residential facility.
Join Frank Prem on his New Asylum journey, and discover what it means to become that particular 'mental health creature' that is a psychiatric nurse.

Описание: I'm So Glad You're Here is a story of a family disrupted by the ramifications of a father's mental illness. The memoir opens with a riveting account of Gay, age eighteen, witnessing her father being bound in a straitjacket and carried out on a stretcher to a state mental hospital. The trauma she experiences escalates when, after her father has electroshock treatments, her parents leave her in a college dorm room and make the move from Massachusetts to Florida without her. She feels abandoned: now both her parents have gone missing. While Gay moves on with her life, this trauma keeps resurfacing. And later, when she and her three much-older siblings show up for their father's funeral, she witnesses her sundered family's inability to gather together. Eventually, she is diagnosed with PTSD of abandonment and treated with EMDR therapy--and finally begins to heal. Poignant and powerful, I'm So Glad You're Here is Gay's exploration of the idea that while the wounds we carry from growing up in fractured families stay with us, they do not have to control us--a reflective journey that will inspire readers to think about their own relational lives.

Описание:
Breast cancer survivors have pink bands. Our troops, yellow ones. Healthy hearts and AIDS awareness is designated with red. White bands typically symbolize peace. Major awareness groups are easily recognizable by their respective colors, which is clearly a positive. But what is the color, where is the cause, who comprises the groups that have an equal level of popularity and advocates for the millions upon millions of people who suffer from mental health issues? Were you aware that the color for mental health is in fact green? Most likely not, as it is a topic not covered in the way that other health issues are. In her first novel, Michelle Krack chronicles her story and continual battle with overcoming bipolar disorder. Readers will learn of the heart-breaking struggles and everyday victories that accompany life from the perspective of a mother of four, sister to three, and above all else- survivor of one. Beginning with her deep family roots in the southern Indiana city of Evansville, Michelle touches on the fears, tears, hilarity, and special moments so near to her heart and some, unfortunately, ever imbedded into her memory. The order in which her tale is presented parallels bipolar disorder, with stories here and there that interrupt what would normally be a traditional reading experience.

..".readable, heartwarming story puts a human face on an illness so often stigmatized and misunderstood by our society...interesting insights into the subjective experience of mental illness, as well as its effect on families and communities...highlighting how critical family support and understanding can be to the recovery process. As a mental health professional, it was particulary useful to hear her perspective and experience with the treatment process...should strike a blow against the stigma of mental illness.

In Binge Crazy, therapist Natalie Gold reveals her lived experience to show how binge eating disorder and food addiction develops, how it impacts the individual and their loved ones, and the complex road to recovery. From a Toronto mental hospital to a talk show in London, England, she chronicles over 50 years of failure and success. Binge Crazy is really about relationships, especially the author's love-hate affair with food and eating. "There was never enough, could never be enough food to satisfy what was wrong inside," says Gold. The author exposes aspects of her life that also reflect those of her clients and others who struggle.
Binge Crazy is not the standard "how to" book - but it is an example of what not to do. It is a daringly honest portrayal of what it's like to be inside the head and heart of someone who suffers from out-of-control eating, and the zigzag recovery process. Binge Crazy formed the basis for Gold's chapter on severe food addiction for the textbook, Processed Food Addiction, Foundations, Assessment and Recovery (Taylor & Francis), since she met all eleven substance use criteria in the definitive mental health reference, the DSM-5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. Fifth Edition, (APA, 2013).
Now a Registered Psychotherapist, Gold is an honors graduate of Ryerson University (Toronto), holds a graduate certificate in Addiction and Mental Health from Durham College (Oshawa), and a post-graduate certificate in Gestalt Therapy from the Gestalt Institute of Toronto. She is a member in good standing of the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO), the Ontario Association of Consultants, Counsellors, Psychometrists and Psychotherapists (OACCPP), the Canadian Association for Psychodynamic Therapy (CAPT), and the Association for the Advancement of Gestalt Therapy (AAGT), an international community.
