The Translucent Revolution
by Arjuna ArdaghThere is a gentle but profound revolution in human consciousness happening throughout the world -- it has affected millions of people from all walks of life, and the numbers continue to multiply exponentially. The breakthroughs they have experienced are startlingly similar and are marked by a new sense of well-being, increased joy in life, diminished fear, and a natural impulse to serve and contribute to the world in a real way. For more than a decade, Arjuna Ardagh has studied this worldwide advance in human consciousness marked by what he calls "translucents" -- individuals who have undergone a spiritual awakening deeply enough that it has permanently transformed their relationship to themselves and to reality, while allowing them to remain involved in ordinary life. The Translucent Revolution draws on the author's dialogues with thousands of writers, teachers, and workshop participants around the world who display characteristics of "translucence." He blends observation, anecdote, and research, including commentaries from leading pioneers in the field of human consciousness.

Transnational Popular Psychology and the Global Self-Help Industry: The Politics of Contemporary Social Change
by Daniel Nehring Dylan Kerrigan Emmanuel Alvarado Eric C. HendriksSelf-help books aim to empower their readers and deliver happiness and personal fulfilment but do they really live up to this? This book offers a fresh perspective on self-help culture and popular psychology. Research on this subject matter has generally focused on the USA and the Global Northwest. In contrast, this book explores the production, circulation and consumption of self-help books from an innovative transnational perspective. Case studies on Trinidad, Mexico, the People's Republic of China, the UK and the USA explore the roles which self-help's therapeutic narratives of self and social relationships play in the contemporary world. In this context, the book questions the extent to which self-help fulfils its promise of individual autonomy and contentment. At the same time, it addresses debates about contemporary political change under transnational processes of cultural standardization.
Transparency: Seeing Through to Our Expanded Human Capacity (Transformation Series)
by Penney PeirceA groundbreaking book with an inside-out view of personal transformation and the path to everyday enlightenment by letting go of the clutter, defense, and fears to instead focus on building the courage to be honest, vulnerable, authentic, and super-clear.Following the bestsellers The Intuitive Way, Frequency, and Leap of Perception, Transparency is the next book in Penney Peirce’s award-winning, visionary series of guidebooks on personal and societal transformation. Timely and revolutionary, Penney shows us how to let go of everything that gets in our way—the obstacles, clutter, and fears—to truly achieve greater authenticity, clarity of purpose, and feelings of belonging and joy. By transforming our opaque reality into a state of transparency, the dividing lines that fragment and isolate us melt away and all that’s left is the true self—connecting us to everything and everyone. Transparency helps you learn that when you’re transparent, there is great power in being seen for all of who you are. Secrets, lies, and hiding are no longer functional. Honesty, simplicity, compassion, and true humility produce genius. And, when you’re transparent, you’re empowered to see through situations that blind and confuse others. It’s as though you suddenly have Superman’s X-ray vision, and this enables you to reach just-right solutions, insights, and develop your ability to “see through,” so your intuition can skyrocket. Prescriptive, accessible, and thought-provoking, Transparency aims to help you identify your soul-blocking habits, find the insights being masked, and return these negative patterns back into the clear light of the unified field. Each piece of clutter dissolved, understood, and released creates greater transparency, opening us to experience our true selves and all the joys of life.
Transsexuals: Candid Answers to Private Questions
by Gerald R. RamseyWATCH FOR SUBMITTER'S REVIEW TO BE ADDED SHORTLY Dr. Ramsey is a member of the Henry Benjamin International Gender Dysphoria Association, Inc. HBIGDA's well-known "Standards of Care" are listed as an Appendix. Note that these were the 1990 revisions and further revisions may have occurred. Ramsey clarifies many misunderstandings or questions via his lay-person's language to answer difficult questions. He himself states he supports even more restrictive timelines for treatment requirements than the HBIGDA's Standards. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Psychological Disorders, IV (DSM-IV) section on Gender Identity Disorder is also included as an Appendix. Validator did not validate Appendices D & E or the bibliography. I think it's comprehensible, but if you need it improved, contact Cindy, popularplace@yahoo.com

Trapped in the Mirror
by Elan ColombIn this compelling book, Elan Golomb identifies the crux of the emotional and psychological problems of millions of adults. Simply put, the children of narcissist -- offspring of parents whose interest always towered above the most basic needs of their sons and daughters -- share a common belief: They believe they do not have the right to exist. The difficulties experienced by adult children of narcissists can manifest themselves in many ways: for examples, physical self-loathing that takes form of overeating, anorexia, or bulimia; a self-destructive streak that causes poor job performance and rocky personal relationships; or a struggle with the self that is perpetuated in the adult's interaction with his or her own children. These dilemmas are both common and correctable, Dr. Golomb tells us. With an empathic blend of scholarship and case studies, along with her own personal narrative of her fight for self, Dr. Golomb plumbs the depths of this problem, revealing its mysterious hold on the affairs of otherwise bright, aware, motivated, and worthy people. Trapped in the Mirror explores. * the nature of the paralysis and lack of motivation so many adults feel * stress and its role in exacerbating childhood wrongs * why do many of our relationships seem to be "reruns" of the past * how one's body image can be formed by faulty parenting * how anger must be acknowledge to be overcome * and, most important, how even the most traumatized self can be healed. Rooted in a profoundly humanist traditional approach, and suffused with the benefit of the latest knowledge about intrafamily relationships, Trapped in the Mirror offers more than the average self-help book; it is truly the first self-heal book for millions.
Trappole per allocchi: come liberarsi dalle cattive abitudini
by Siegbert ScheuermannQuesto libro vi si offre umoristicamente come uno specchio che vi consente di riconoscere le vostre abitudini e i vostri schemi usurati. Tra questi, quali riducono la qualità della vostra vita e come potete liberarvene? Ad esempio, desiderate fare esercizio fisico regolarmente, ridurre il vostro peso o smettere di fumare, ma la vostra mente trova sempre motivi per far sì che restiate ancora un po' a poltrire a letto la mattina, per considerare quel pezzettino di cioccolato un'eccezione o per rinviare l'inizio della vostra carriera di non fumatori? A quarant'anni siamo responsabili non solo del nostro peso, ma anche del nostro viso e della nostra postura. Le abitudini "nidificano" nel nostro pensiero, nelle nostre relazioni, nelle nostre espressioni facciali e nelle forme del nostro corpo. I primi passi per affrancarsi: Passo 1: un inventario nello zoo degli "animali abitudinari". Passo 2: l'analisi delle abitudini e dei modelli. Passo 3: la sostituzione delle cattive abitudini con quelle positive. Le intuizioni: 1) Il nostro cervello è spesso un'eccellente produttore di giustificazioni, che fa sì che tutto proceda secondo le solite routine. 2) Invece di lottare contro il pigrone che è in noi, dovremmo invitarlo a ballare e a volteggiarci elegantemente intorno. 3. Liberatevi dalle trappole per allocchi, dall'ingenuità, dall'incompetenza, dall'ignoranza, dall'incoerenza e dalle identificazioni dannose. Vi auguro di trascorrere ore di lettura divertenti e proficue! Il contenuto del libro è il risultato di 25 anni di lavoro di formazione in materia di comportamento e comunicazione con migliaia di partecipanti. Si basa sugli articoli pubblicati dell'autore nel Blog: "hirnschrittmacher"

Trash: An Innocent Girl. A Shocking Story of Squalor and Neglect.
by Britney Fuller‘To start: it was just me and my mom. I am an only child, and she is a single parent. My mother is a trash hoarder. Ever since I can remember the house was always messy and stunk. At around age 9ish I noticed that something was wrong. I started throwing bags of trash away every day, just to have my mom freak out when she got home. We didn’t eat at home anymore because the fridge was disgusting, and she used the sink as a trash can, so it got clogged. We always ate out, we never had a home-cooked meal, and I’ve never had a family dinner at a dinner table. I had a stool in the corner of the living room. That is what I sat on, and that alone. I kept that corner as clean as I could. Made sure there was foot space, and that there wasn’t dust on the walls. That was my corner, my space. It never seemed to matter though, eventually that spot would get overrun with trash too...’Trash is Britney Fuller's shocking account of growing up in the house of a hoarder.

Trauma: Healing Your Past to Find Freedom Now
by Nick Polizzi Pedram ShojaiYou are not doomed to be trapped by your traumaTrauma is unresolved pain. It hums in the background of our lives and robs us of the joy, faith, peace, and love we fully deserve.

Trauma and Addiction: Ending the Cycle of Pain Through Emotional Literacy
by Dr. Tian DaytonFor the past decade, author Tian Dayton has been researching trauma and addiction, and how psychodrama (or sociometry group psychotherapy) can be used in their treatment. Since trauma responses are stored in the body, a method of therapy that engages the body through role play can be more effective in accessing the full complement of trauma-related memories. This latest book identifies the interconnection of trauma and addictive behavior, and shows why they can become an unending cycle. Emotional and psychological pain so often lead to self-medicating, which leads to more pain, and inevitably more self-medicating, and so on--ad infinitum. This groundbreaking book offers readers effective ways to work through their traumas in order to heal their addictions and their predilection toward what clinicians call self-medicating (the abuse of substances [alcohol, drugs, food], activities [work, sex, gambling, etc.] and/or possessions [money, material things].) Readers caught up in the endless cycle of trauma and addiction will permanently transform their lives by reading this book. Therapists treating patients for whom no other avenue of therapy has proved effective will find that this book offers practical, lasting solutions. Case studies and examples of this behavioral phenomenon will illustrate the connection, helping readers understand its dynamics, recognize their own situations and realize that they are not alone in experiencing this syndrome. The author deftly combines the longstanding trauma theories of Van der Kolk, Herman, Bowlby, Krystal and others with her own experiential methods using psychodrama, sociometry and group therapy in the treatment of addiction and posttraumatic stress disorder. While designed to be useful to therapists, this book will also be accessible to trade readers. It includes comprehensive references, as well as a complete index.
Trauma and Forgiveness
by C. Fred AlfordContrary to the view of trauma popularized by literary theorists, Trauma and Forgiveness argues that the traumatized are capable of representing their experience and that we should therefore listen more and theorize less. Using stories and case studies, including testimonies from Holocaust survivors, as well as the victims of 'ordinary' trauma, C. Fred Alford shows that, while the traumatized are generally capable of representing their experience, this does little to heal them. He draws on the British Object Relations tradition in psychoanalysis to argue that forgiveness, which might be expected to help heal the traumatized, is generally an attempt to avoid the hard work of mourning losses that can never be made whole. Forgiveness is better seen as a virtue in the classical sense, a recognition of human vulnerability. The book concludes with an extended case study of the essayist Jean Amery and his refusal to forgive.
Trauma and Memory
by Peter A. Levine Bessel A. van der KolkIn Trauma and Memory, bestselling author Dr. Peter Levine (creator of the Somatic Experiencing approach) tackles one of the most difficult and controversial questions of PTSD/trauma therapy: Can we trust our memories? While some argue that traumatic memories are unreliable and not useful, others insist that we absolutely must rely on memory to make sense of past experience. Building on his 45 years of successful treatment of trauma and utilizing case studies from his own practice, Dr. Levine suggests that there are elements of truth in both camps. While acknowledging that memory can be trusted, he argues that the only truly useful memories are those that might initially seem to be the least reliable: memories stored in the body and not necessarily accessible by our conscious mind.While much work has been done in the field of trauma studies to address "explicit" traumatic memories in the brain (such as intrusive thoughts or flashbacks), much less attention has been paid to how the body itself stores "implicit" memory, and how much of what we think of as "memory" actually comes to us through our (often unconsciously accessed) felt sense. By learning how to better understand this complex interplay of past and present, brain and body, we can adjust our relationship to past trauma and move into a more balanced, relaxed state of being. Written for trauma sufferers as well as mental health care practitioners, Trauma and Memory is a groundbreaking look at how memory is constructed and how influential memories are on our present state of being.
Trauma and the 12 Steps, Revised and Expanded: An Inclusive Guide to Enhancing Recovery
by Jamie MarichAn inclusive, research-based guide to working the 12 steps: a trauma-informed approach for clinicians, sponsors, and those in recovery.Step 1: You admit that you're powerless over your addiction. Now what?12-step programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA) have helped countless people on the path to recovery. But many still feel that 12-step programs aren't for them: that the spiritual emphasis is too narrow, the modality too old-school, the setting too triggering, or the space too exclusive. Some struggle with an addict label that can eclipse the histories, traumas, and experiences that feed into addiction, or dismisses the effects of adverse experiences like trauma in the first place. Advances in addiction medicine, trauma, neuropsychiatry, social theory, and overall strides in inclusivity need to be integrated into modern-day 12-step programs to reflect the latest research and what it means to live with an addiction today.Dr. Jamie Marich, an addiction and trauma clinician in recovery herself, builds necessary bridges between the 12-step's core foundations and up-to-date developments in trauma-informed care. Foregrounding the intersections of addiction, trauma, identity, and systems of oppression, Marich's approach treats the whole person--not just the addiction--to foster healing, transformation, and growth.Written for clinicians, therapists, sponsors, and those in recovery, Marich provides an extensive toolkit of trauma-informed skills that: • Explains how trauma impacts addiction, recovery, and relapse • Celebrates communities who may feel excluded from the program, like atheists, agnostics, and LGBTQ+ folks • Welcomes outside help from the fields of trauma, dissociation, mindfulness, and addiction research • Explains the differences between being trauma-informed and trauma-sensitive; and • Discusses spiritual abuse as a legitimate form of trauma that can profoundly impede spirituality-based approaches to healing.<
Trauma and the 12 Steps--The Workbook: Exercises and Meditations for Addiction, Trauma Recovery, and Working the 12 Steps--Revised and expanded edition
by Jamie Marich Stephen DansigerYour definitive trauma-sensitive guide to working the Steps: skills for understanding your addiction, processing your trauma, and navigating your recovery journey—the anticipated companion to Trauma and the 12 Steps. This addiction recovery workbook from clinicians Jamie Marich, PhD, and Stephen Dansiger offers skills to prevent relapse, enhance recovery, and understand how trauma impacts alcoholism, drug dependency, and even other types of addictions. Working the Steps for the first time can feel scary and unfamiliar—and depending upon the experiences you&’ve had at AA or NA, you may question whether the 12 Steps are right for you. Here, Marich and Dansiger help you get to the root of your addiction while offering skills and exercises for an inclusive recovery program. Unlike some 12-Step programs, this workbook is open to all—regardless of your background, history, identity, or spiritual beliefs. It also recognizes that for most of us on recovery or sobriety journeys, each Step isn&’t made to be worked through only once: this workbook is designed to support your individual needs, whether that&’s practicing one step on a day-to-day basis, revisiting another at different times throughout your recovery process, or using the exercises as part of a yearly check-in. The workbook begins with a self-care inventory, then moves through each of the 12 steps with prompts, meditations, journaling reflections, and body-based exercises. The authors also offer coping skills and an open-minded approach that acknowledges that your recovery is as unique as you are: one-size-fits-all doesn&’t apply. Compassionate, trauma-responsive, and grounded in the latest behavioral and neuroscience research, this workbook is your go-to addiction recovery toolkit.
Trauma and the Twelve Steps: A Complete Guide For Enhancing Recovery
by Jamie MarichGetting this book to press has been a bit of an uphill battle. In preparing this manuscript for publication, I ran into the same struggles that I encounter working as a clinician in the helping professions. Mental health publishers felt that this book was "too addiction." Addiction publishers felt it was "too mental health." Academic publishers called it too "colloquial," and self-help publishers too "academic."

by Paul ContiPrefaciado por Lady Gaga, um livro essencial para compreender, tratar e prevenir todas as feridas emocionais. Partindo da investigação mais recente, das melhores práticas clínicas e de dezenas de histórias reais, este é um livro essencial para perceber a pandemia traumática que vivemos. «Sensatez e paciência prevalecem neste olhar único sobre um assunto amplamente ignorado pela comunidade médica durante anos. É uma leitura obrigatória para profissionais, bem como para quem tenha vivido um trauma ou outro sofrimento psicológico.» Tommy Hilfiger, estilista e empresário «O Dr. Conti é psiquiatra, e alguém que também passou por muita coisa. Isto dá-lhe uma perspetiva única acerca de como as pessoas funcionam e de como os traumas nos modificam, e, especificamente, como o trauma nos leva a pensar e a agir de modo diferente sem que percebamos porquê. O Dr. Conti explica como o trauma interage com a forma como o nosso cérebrotrabalha, e como o trauma é afetado por certos aspetos da sociedade, através de vívidas ilustrações de pessoas reais e das suas vidas.

Fornece também soluções reais — soluções que as pessoas poderão usar para si próprias e para os seus entes queridos,e soluções para ajudar a que o mundo se torne um sítio mais bondoso e seguro.» Kim Kardashian, modelo e empresária «Posso agora dizer com certeza que o Dr. Paul Conti me salvou a vida. Fez com que ela valesse a pena ser vivida. Mas, mais importante, deu-me a capacidade de me redescobrir e de me recuperar.» Lady Gaga, cantora e atriz, in Prefácio «Depois de ler o excelente livro de Paul Conti, percebo agora que o trauma existe em todos nós. Às vezes lembramo-nos dele, mas mesmo quando não conseguimos, ele lembra-se de nós, impedindo-nos de viver as nossas vidas com plenitude. Até que o possamos identificar e clarificar, vivemos com medos, ansiedades e máscaras. O livrode Paul Conti ajuda-nos a identificar o(s) trauma(s) que sofremos nas nossas vidas e a avançar em direção à cura – uma tarefa nada fácil no mundo traumático de hoje.» Carole Bayer Sager, cantora e compositora
