Stillpoint

Sheila K. Collins

"My radio audience filled with caregivers from all walks of life will treasure each page."-Joel Markel, host of Preferred Company, President and Founder of Preferred Home Health Care & Nursing Services "What a delightful, comprehensive guide, reminding us all about the critical importance of self-care. The authors invite us to rethink -- perhaps redefine ­-- the concept of caregiver, transforming it into 'caresharer.' Take some time with this book, practicing its precious gems, and notice from the inside out the impact it makes on your ability to be present with yourself and all your relations."-Jamie McHugh, Somatic Movement Therapist and artist "If you are weary from caring for others and humbled by what it takes, open this book. Sheila K. Collins and her co-author Christine Gautreaux both walk this walk. Sheila is a national leader in the dance of wise caregiving for self and others. Phil Porter and I, the cofounders of InterPlay, are indebted to her for her contributions to our system. We know her backward and forward as an artist, therapist, and teacher. She's the real deal. Tested, tenacious, tender and true, a wise elder and creative guide for getting through life's hard stuff."-Cynthia Winton-Henry, InterPlay co-founder, and authorof Move: What the Body Wants and Dance: the Sacred Art "In this comprehensive guide, the Stillpoint authors creatively address a neglected component of professional social work education -- self-care! As we teach students the best practices to meet the needs of clients, we often fail to provide evidence-based tools to assist students and young professionals in maintaining a strong and vibrant self. Stillpoint could be a helpful textbook for social workers serving others in what turns out to be a hazardous occupation."-Lynn Coghill, LCSW, Director of University of Pittsburgh School of Social Work MSW Program, retired

The Body Never Lies The Lingering Effects Of Cruel Parenting

Alice Miller W. W. Norton & Company

An examination of childhood trauma and its surreptitious, debilitating effects by one of the world's leading psychoanalysts. Never before has world-renowned psychoanalyst Alice Miller examined so persuasively the long-range consequences of childhood abuse on the body. Using the experiences of her patients along with the biographical stories of literary giants such as Virginia Woolf, Franz Kafka, and Marcel Proust, Miller shows how a child's humiliation, impotence, and bottled rage will manifest itself as adult illness—be it cancer, stroke, or other debilitating diseases. Never one to shy away from controversy, Miller urges society as a whole to jettison its belief in the Fourth Commandment and not to extend forgiveness to parents whose tyrannical childrearing methods have resulted in unhappy, and often ruined, adult lives. In this empowering work, writes Rutgers professor Philip Greven, "readers will learn how to confront the overt and covert traumas of their own childhoods with the enlightened guidance of Alice Miller."

It is, in other words, the key to reshaping our very lives.”—Oprah Winfrey This book is going to change the way you see your life. Have you ever wondered "Why did I do that?" or "Why can't I just control my behavior?" Others may judge our reactions and think, "What's wrong with that person?" When questioning our emotions, it's easy to place the blame on ourselves; holding ourselves and those around us to an impossible standard. It's time we started asking a different question. Through deeply personal conversations, Oprah Winfrey and renowned brain and trauma expert Dr. Bruce Perry offer a groundbreaking and profound shift from asking “What’s wrong with you?” to “What happened to you?” Here, Winfrey shares stories from her own past, understanding through experience the vulnerability that comes from facing trauma and adversity at a young age. In conversation throughout the book, she and Dr. Perry focus on understanding people, behavior, and ourselves. It’s a subtle but profound shift in our approach to trauma, and it’s one that allows us to understand our pasts in order to clear a path to our future—opening the door to resilience and healing in a proven, powerful way.
