Both Sides of the Couch - A story of recovery told by a therapist and their client

Anna Wickins, Paddy Magrane

Beschreibung

When Anna Wickins began counselling with her therapist, Paddy Magrane, she could barely speak in their sessions, silenced by traumatic memories from two decades before. But as trust built, Anna felt able to open up and she started to talk about the terrifying ordeal she experienced at university. As Anna examined her past, a transformation was occurring across the room. Listening to her tale awakened painful memories in Paddy about the horrors that occurred at his boarding school.
After two years of healing work, Anna and Paddy embarked on an unusual therapeutic exercise: a visit to the site of her trauma, where Anna physically confronted the scenes of her nightmares. With Paddy's reassurance and support, she was finally able to leave her demons behind. Once robbed of a voice, Anna now helps others to find theirs, in the same way that Paddy helped her.
Told in alternating perspectives, Both Sides of the Couch is a searingly honest account of how counselling shapes both client and therapist. A unique window into therapy, it shows, for the first time, the journey through the eyes of both participants. Both Sides of the Couch is a moving and inspirational story of finding light in the darkest of times.

Notes from a Professional Player...

Dr. Tiy-E Muhammad

Critically acclaimed Relationship Sex-pert, and licensed therapist Dr. Tiy-E Muhammad is back with his latest installment aptly titled "Notes from a Professional Player, The Gangster and The Gentleman" where he boldly tackles the antiquated meaning of "Player" and offers a re-imagined definition of what a contemporary player, aka Ladies Man, is or supposed to be. Drawing upon his debut novel, "From "Player to Poet," and his years in private marriage and family counseling, Dr. Tiy-E now raises the bar, and zeros in on the definition of a "PROFESSIONAL PLAYER," and his responsibilities. And because it takes one to know one, Dr. Tiy-E says "I take complete ownership on the concept, usage, definition, and knowledge of the word Player in this book." In "Notes," the former radio and tv personality, explicitly addresses a wide range of topics from male sexual prowess (BDE too!) to the sometimes-taboo subject of male hygiene or, lack-there-of. It also includes much deeper, introspective chapters on self-image, and fatherhood, encouraging readers to take a deeper look at their true self versus their perceived self. In "Notes," Dr. Tiy-E lays out a CIA style of question and answer to guide readers to uncover their own truth by way of candid examples and uncensored storytelling. Delivering dating tips decade-by-decade, Dr. Tiy-E holds men accountable for the fundamentals all "True Players" should adhere to — the foundation of which— is Love of self. From moments that tug at your heart, to his lifetime of lessons in manhood, Dr. Tiy-E is unwavering in his truth serum. And it Works! Perhaps the reason his latest installment is as brilliantly authentic as his namesake.
