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."
Trauma to Triumph: A Roadmap for Leading Through Disruption (and Thriving on the Other Side)
by Mark Goulston Diana HendelHow to successfully navigate through crisis or trauma—and come out stronger on the other side. This leadership roadmap shows you the way.Organizational trauma takes many forms. It could be a pandemic that disrupts everything about the way people work. An economic meltdown. An act of violence. A failed merger. A layoff—or continual threats of one. Whatever the scenario, events like these can traumatize leaders and employees, sending everyone into survival mode. If the crisis is not &“named and claimed&” as trauma and managed effectively, it&’s sure to linger on in the form of chronic stress and anxiety. And left unspoken and unaddressed, blame, shame, and guilt often permeate the culture of the organization and erode its ability to thrive in the future. Here&’s the good news: when leaders navigate a traumatic event effectively, the organization doesn&’t just survive. It can be transformed and flourish in ways previously unimagined.In Trauma to Triumph: A Roadmap for Leading Through Disruption and Thriving on the Other Side, Mark Goulston, MD, and Diana Hendel present a visionary and tactical roadmap to help leaders create stability in the midst of chaos and uncertainty, move productively through a traumatic event, and come out even stronger and better on the other side.Here are just a few things you&’ll learn:How the survival mechanism manifests in employees and leaders in the midst of traumaThe predictable polarities, dilemmas, tensions and other patterns that emerge in traumatized organizations…and how to break these cyclesWhy lack of clarity in roles and poor communication are so dangerous in times of crisis (and how to avoid these common pitfalls)How leaders can shift to a mindset that helps them create feelings of trust, confidence, safety, respect, and inspiration in employees.Best practices for leading yourself and others through crisis; grieving losses, embracing healthy coping mechanisms, reframing, and moreHow to launch a rapid-response process that allows you to &“control the controllables&” and create a framework for making better decisions in the throes of crisisHigh-impact tactics to help your organization recover and heal in a way that doesn&’t just return to baseline, but transcends itFilled with tools and tactics, Trauma to Triumph is an organization-wide blueprint for navigating a future where we&’re likely to experience one stretch of whitewater after another. It gives leaders at every level the guidance they need to create confidence, courage, and enthusiasm in their team. It&’s not just about being prepared for future crises. It&’s also about leading in a new way in the times of stability in between—a way that creates a stronger, better company.

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

Traumatized: Identify, Understand, and Cope with PTSD and Emotional Stress
by Kati MortonAn accessible guide to understand what trauma is, how PTSD is diagnosed, being aware that it can have a late onset, what can happen if it goes untreated--and how social media can be triggering our trauma Recovery from trauma and PTSD is an especially vital topic these days. Trauma is emotional stress that can stem from a wide variety of upsetting experiences, leaving us feeling anxious, weighed down by negative emotions or memories, or feeling like we lack security. No one's experience and recovery from it is the same. In Traumatized, as both a licensed clinical therapist and YouTube creator, Morton shares a unique perspective on trauma in the modern age, weaving the link between trauma and social media throughout the book--both the positive (how social media promotes mental health awareness) and the dark side of how social media can spread trauma. What social media platforms or accounts are detrimental to our mental health? How can we start paying attention to how we interact with them? What are the best ways to limit the amount of time we spend on certain sites or even unfollow accounts that seem to trigger that trauma response? Traumatized shares tools to manage what we (and our children) can see online.

Traveling Light: Galatians and the Free Life in Christ
by Eugene H. PetersonWe aspire to freedom but often resign ourselves to an existence trapped in uneasiness and dread. Is there any way to shed such heaviness and reignite hope for deliverance? In Traveling Light, Eugene H. Peterson urges us to listen to an expert on freedom, Paul, whose letter to the Galatians reminds us of the realities of life in Christ, freely given to all. Peterson says, "If there is a story of freedom to be told, the story must begin with God. . . . The Bible is not a script for a funeral service, but the record of the proclaimed and witnessed God bringing new life to the dead. Everywhere it is a story of resurrection—life where we expect death." That lightness of spirit we're shown in Scripture is a gift and challenge. With an open path forward, Peterson calls us to embrace change, exploration, trust, love, and much more. Now with a new study guide, share the work of pursuing real rescue and relief through the abiding wisdom of Peterson.

With New York Times bestselling author and pastor Max Lucado as your guide, Traveling Light invites you to release some of those heavy burdens and experience true rest.We've all seen weary travelers—everything they own crammed into their luggage, staggering through terminals and hotel lobbies with overstuffed suitcases, trunks, duffels, and backpacks. Backs ache. Feet burn. Eyelids droop.

He is the father at the baggage claim. When a dad sees his five-year-old son trying to drag the family trunk off the carousel, what does he say? The father will say to his son what God is saying to you."Set it down, child. I'll carry that one."What if we took God up on his offer? We just might find ourselves traveling a little lighter.
Traveling Solo, but Never Alone: Surviving and Thriving After the Death of a Spouse
by Bill HarrisonWhen my wife passed away four days before Christmas in 2017 I was devastated. Mary and I had a challenging, exciting and adventurous life together for over 53 years, traveling the globe and finding success in a number of careers. But suddenly she was gone. I had lost my identity and purpose. I cried out: “What now, Lord?” “Why am I still here?” “What do you have in store for me now?” And over the ensuing months God began to show me that, although my role had drastically changed, my identity as his child remained the same and that he still had a purpose in my being here, which he began to reveal to me. And he reassured me, though I was now traveling solo, I would never be alone. This book is the story of my journey since Mary’s passing and what I have learned from my experiences. I hope it will be a source of inspiration for those who have experienced great loss, encouraging them with the knowledge that God is not finished with them, but has much more for them to learn, experience and accomplish.

Travellers to Unimaginable Lands: Dementia, Carers and the Hidden Workings of the Mind
by Dasha Kiper'The best book I have ever read that explores the effect on the brain of the carer, when someone has dementia. Unmissable' Professor June Andrews, dementia expert and author of Dementia: The One-Stop Guide.A husband believes his wife is an imposter. A man's sudden, intense Catholic piety provokes his wife. A mother and daughter struggle to come to terms with the disease that intensifies an already dependent relationship.At their root, these existential dilemmas grow out of long-established patterns of behaviour that bind together patients and caregivers. Travellers to Unimaginable Lands explores the complex and profound psychology of caregiving, illuminating how the healthy brain's biases and intuitions make caring for people with dementia disorders so profoundly and inherently difficult.Blending neuroscience, psychology, philosophy and literature with beautifully-observed case studies, Kiper illuminates the underlying mental mechanisms behind carers' experiences, dispels the myth of the perfect caregiver and, in the process, opens the door to understanding and forgiveness.

Travelling with Ghosts: An intimate and inspiring journey
by Shannon Leone FowlerIn the summer of 2002, Shannon Leone Fowler, a twenty-eight-year-old marine biologist, was backpacking with her Australian fiancé Sean in Thailand. They were planning to return to Australia after their excursion to Koh Pha Ngan, but their plans were tragically derailed when a box jellyfish - the most venomous animal in the world - wrapped around Sean's leg, stinging and killing him in minutes as Shannon helplessly watched. Rejecting the Thai authorities attempt to label the death 'drunk drowning,' Shannon ferried his body home to his stunned family - a family to which she suddenly no longer belonged.Shattered and untethered, Shannon set out on a journey to make sense of her loss. From Oswiecim, Poland (the site of Auschwitz) to war-torn Israel, shelled-out Bosnia, poverty-stricken Romania, and finally to Barcelona, where she first met Sean years before, Shannon charts a path through sorrow towards recovery.Read by Rachel Dulude(p) 2017 Tantor

Travels in a Stone Canoe: The Return to the Wisdomkeepers
by Harvey Arden Steve WallFrom the book: This journey of ours, then, is a journey into metaphor, into meaning, into human subjectivity, into the belief systems of others and of ourselves, into the very meaning of belief itself. And yet, despite its inward aspects, this spirit-journey is and has been absolutely real, filled with rented cars and cheap motels and fast-food restaurants and shopping malls and interstate highways, and-most significant to us-with out-of-the-way dirt roads leading to the always open doors of those we call Wisdomkeepers, the spiritual elders of Native America. These wonderful men and women don't simply preserve the old wisdom. They live it. And, yes, they share it and teach it, too-not only with their words but with their example, their presence, their lives . . . lives always lived for others, never for themselves. We are not, definitely not, experts on Indians. We aren't scholars or anthropologists or historians; we're not even journalists anymore. Yet our journey, our spirit-journey is inexorably ongoing. Whenever we think it's finally over and done with, we somehow find ourselves swept back into it once again despite ourselves, flung back onto the road, into the current, back on the path of the Wisdomkeepers. But don't mistake it for an easy path. Life, we've learned from the Wisdomkeepers, is not an entertainment. Life is a task, a holy task. There's a path you follow, and there's a set of Original Instructions for following that path. Our journey, our life's work, has been an unfolding of those Instructions, which-as Wisdomkeeper Uncle Frank Davis showed us-lie within our souls like shredded, crumpled pieces of paper, hieroglyphed with the meanings of life, our own personal life in particular.
