Reciprocal Mentoring (Routledge EMCC Global Masters in Coaching and Mentoring)
by Julie Haddock-MillarReciprocal mentoring represents an approach to mentoring in organisations that is both timely and of critical importance in the context of diversity, inclusion, equity, and the power shift in mentoring practice. This book provides insight into how reciprocal mentoring programmes can strengthen mutual learning and encourage true partnership between participants. This approach to mentoring places participants on a level playing field; people with disparate expertise, backgrounds, and experience levels are placed in relationships in which they act as both mentor and mentee, generating a range of benefits for all involved. This book explores the design, development, and evaluation of reciprocal mentoring programmes in six different contexts: entrepreneurial, healthcare sector, third sector, education sector, membership organisations, and private sector organisations. Three different approaches to reciprocal mentoring programmes are set out: reciprocal by design, reciprocal by default, and reciprocal as an output. Each chapter describes a number of different case studies which adopt a variety of approaches to reciprocal mentoring programmes, their contextual relevance, and overall impact and contribution. This book will be useful for any individuals and teams involved in the development of mentoring programmes. The range of approaches and frameworks presented in this book will benefit mentoring and coaching practitioners, managers, consultants, professionals in a variety of organisational contexts, and researchers.

Reclaiming Calliope: Freeing the Female Voice through Undomesticated Singing
by Fides KruckerThe practice and politics of the unfettered female voice--reclaiming your power through voice, song, and opera-inspired exercises.For centuries, opera has used women&’s voices to convey male stories. Within an art form dominated by men, the female voice is a means to an end: controlled, denatured, and crafted to carry words and intentions that belie the true depth and complexity of the female experience.Here, author and opera singer Fides Krucker shows readers what it means to find--and use--our authentic voice, to sing wildly and uninhibited from the depths of our bodies and spirits. Part memoir, part radical vocal guide, and part feminist call to action, Reclaiming Calliope offers an intriguing look at the rarified world of opera, with fascinating behind-the-scenes details to which outsiders don&’t typically have access. Through incisive critique, personal stories, and intriguing exposé, Krucker razes the male gaze that packaged characters like Carmen, Tosca, and La Traviota&’s Violetta for viewer consumption--and radically envisions an empowered, new way of finding and fueling the authentic female voice.Through a series of breathing and vocal prompts that anyone--not just singers--can do, Krucker helps readers reconnect to their authentic primal voices: she takes the reader inside her vocal studio to learn new methods of breath, voicework, and embodiment to uncover and access personal and social truths. Each chapter includes a theme-related exercise--an act of expression, release, self-discovery, or resistance--that guides readers to develop voices unbound from anyone else&’s storytelling, boldly and without apology.
Reclaiming Desire: 4 Keys to Finding Your Lost Libido
by Andrew Goldstein Marianne BrandonI'm so busy and tired, how can I find time for sex? How can I go from mommy one minute to passionate lover the next? What medicines or natural herbs can I take to improve my libido? At some point in their lives, most women experience a decline in their sexual desire. Yet despite the vast number of books devoted to sex, surprisingly few focus on the problem of low libido. Fewer still offer any practical advice to the woman who has lost her sex drive and longs to find it again. Reclaiming Desire presents the holistic approach that gynecologist Andrew Goldstein and clinical psychologist Marianne Brandon—co-founders of the Sexual Wellness Center in Annapolis, Maryland—use to successfully treat women with low libido. Capitalizing on their combined medical and psychological expertise, they reveal how a complex set of physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual factors—as well as specific life-changing events such as marriage, pregnancy, childbirth, divorce, and menopause—can affect female sex drive. Reading this book, women will come to understand that low libido isn't "all in their heads"—or all in their bodies, for that matter. The problem is real and it's diverse—but it's curable.

Reclaiming the Fire: How Successful People Overcome Burnout
by Steven BerglasThe definitive work on avoiding burnout, written by the psychologist who is the leading specialist on the issue. An illuminating and useful book for anyone coping with the pressures of work.In Reclaiming the Fire, Dr. Steven Berglas analyzes the rises and falls of corporate executives, middle managers, lawyers, entrepreneurs, and others as they struggle to handle the trappings of successful careers. How does one deal with encore anxiety, the monotony of having to use talents that are no longer psychologically rewarding? Why is it that our national obsession with wealth traps people in careers that often lead them to wonder, "Is that all there is?" And why do highly successful people often set themselves up for disastrous falls?Dr. Berglas answers all these questions and many more in this groundbreaking book by discussing real people whose careers have left them feeling pressured, burdened, and jaded.In his most progressive and striking contribution to the literature on career success, Dr. Berglas debunks the persistent myth that women suffer more stress and burnout than men. He disproves the common claim that women involved both in careers and in family life suffer from trying to have it all, and he demonstrates how the drive to form close interpersonal ties a drive that is intrinsic to women can actually prevent both men and women from experiencing burnout. In a related analysis of the mentoring process, Dr. Berglas shows why it is more important for careerists to build legacies for future generations (a process he terms generativity) than to become obsessed with their own personal success. He proves that the process not only benefits the student but provides the mentor with psychological satisfaction and even improved physical health.Reclaiming the Fire uses the working world not the psychiatric couch as a venue for understanding the psychological and emotional burdens of success. It is the first comprehensive account of how to balance self-esteem and ambition while maintaining challenge and stimulation throughout your career. Reclaiming the Fire provides insight into: * Why baby boomers are currently suffering an epidemic of career dissatisfaction * Why women are uniquely suited to cope with the pressures that cause men to suffer burnout, and what men can learn from them * How to escape golden handcuffs: the workaholic devotion to a job that is no longer emotionally satisfying * How to cope with anger that threatens to sabotage your career * How all professionals can identify the passions that will allow them to sustain and enjoy success throughout their lives.
Reclaiming UGLY!: A Radically Joyful Guide to Unlearn Oppression and Uplift, Glorify, and Love Yourself
by Vanessa Rochelle LewisFlip the script on how you think about UGLY--what it means, what it is, and how to reclaim it to Uplift, Glorify, and Love Yourself in an uglified world.Blending joyful self-help magic with incisive social analysis and personal narrative, Vanessa Rochelle Lewis empowers readers to heal, connect, and revolt against uglification.Uglification is "ugly" weaponized: a tool, ideology, and type of oppression that designates some bodies as more or less worthy of love, respect, access, and dignity. It defines who's accepted in what spaces, which identities are marginalized, and how we all move through the world--and is part and parcel of systems like white supremacy, ableism, sizeism, sexism, and queer- and transphobia. Here, Lewis takes on uglification, showing us how reclaiming UGLY is a subversive act that roars an unapologetic "yes!" to joy, healing, and community-building in a world that's engineered to hold us back.Lewis asks us to go beyond analysis, inviting us to boldly perform UGLY as an act of rebellion, liberation, and radical self-love. Through self-help exercises, reflective meditations, and lesson plans, Lewis moves us closer to a collective liberation that takes back what society tells us is ugly and taboo...and teaches us to deconstruct what we've told ourselves is ugly and taboo. In sharing her analysis, personal journey, and activity toolkit, Lewis offers a warm embrace and compassionately guides us toward lives of radical self-acceptance, joyful community-centered healing, and unfiltered self-love.

Reclaiming Your Body: Healing from Trauma and Awakening to Your Body’s Wisdom
by Suzanne Scurlock-DuranaA guided tour through the body’s innate healing powersMany of us have learned to ignore, deny, or even mistrust the wise messages our bodies give us.

Suzanne Scurlock-Durana, who has spent thirty years studying the gifts of the body and teaching thousands how to reclaim them, began to recognize this strength, which she likens to a GPS, when she herself experienced a life-threatening trauma. Here she walks readers through different areas of the body, revealing the wisdom they hold and how to reconnect with that wisdom. As she shows in this warm, compassionate book, the body’s abilities are always available; we must simply reconnect with them.

Reclaiming Your Life: A Step-by-Step Guide to Using Regression Therapy to Overcome the Effects of Childhood Abuse
by Jean C. Jenson M. S. W. Alice MillerThis book lays out a powerful program for healing the effects of childhood abuse. Provides practical and compassionate guidance on dismantling the childhood defenses of repression and denial in order to access buried experiences and emotions -- and by re-experiencing the pain to finally heal. Using examples from her private practice over the last 14 years, Jenson shows that 12-step and similar programs, as well as traditional therapies, do not fully deal with the phenomenon of repressed pain. Until this pain is "processed"-- retrieved from the unconscious, fully experienced, and grieved over -- she believes adults will be trapped in the patterns of childhood.
