Powerful Practices To Reclaim Your Identity

Michele Rosenthal

If you suffer from trauma or PTSD, whether from a single-incident like a car accident, or from chronic childhood abuse, domestic violence, illness, or war trauma, you understand how it hijacks your identity.

Filled with exercises, self-assessment questionnaires, tips, and tools, it takes readers through the process of understanding some of the brain science behind trauma to learning both how to heal, and how to realize the potential you still have to become who you want to become.  Readers learn that it is possible to regain a sense of calm, confidence, and control on the road to recovery.

Obstruction of Justice

Highway of Tears

Ray Michalko
2016

“The Highway of Tears” is a lonely seven hundred kilometer stretch of road that winds through the Coast Mountains wilderness of British Columbia. Over the last four decades nine young women have been murdered or gone missing from this remote highway. All but one were Aboriginal. To date not one case has been solved.  Fueled by frustration with the police’s inability to solve any of these crimes, inspired by the belief that someone somewhere knew something, and driven by his inexplicable personal commitment, ex-RCMP turned private eye Ray Michalko embarked on a life altering journey to unlock the secrets of these cases and, in the process, discovered as much about the crimes as he did the reasons they’ve gone unsolved.

Mind

Journey to the Heart of Being Human

Daniel J. Siegel
2016

This is an exploration of what neuroscience can teach us about it—how the mind differs from consciousness and how we know who we really are. He explores the nature of the who, how, what, why and when of your mind—of your self—from the perspective of neuroscience. Mind captures the essence of our true nature, our deepest sense of being alive, here, right now, in this moment. How science explains it is one of the most exciting journeys into knowledge we can take.

It Didn’t Start with You

How Inherited Family Trauma Shapes Who We Are and How to End the Cycle

Mark Wolynn

There is now compelling evidence that traumatic experience can be passed down through generations. Original traumas may be silenced or forgotten but memory and feelings live on, encoded in everything from gene expression to everyday language. Pathways to reconnection, integration, and reclamation are created through diagnostic self-inventories, genograms, visualization and dialogue.
