  If you are an Asian American who has experienced racial violence, verbal harassment, stereotyping, or microaggressions, you might feel like the world is unsafe. You may suffer from anxiety, depression, or painful memories as a result of this trauma. And if you seek help, you may find that Western-trained mental health professionals simply can’t understand your pain and life experiences. This book provides culturally informed treatment methods to help you heal from and fortify yourself against race-based trauma—including intergenerational and historical trauma—and stress. 
   
   
   
  Written by an Asian American psychologist, this workbook blends contemporary psychology with ancient mind-body approaches to help you build resilience in the face of racism, overcome trauma and internalized oppression, reclaim your mental health, and celebrate your heritage. Using skills grounded in culturally informed cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and somatic practices from Asian cultures, you'll learn to create a healthy identity, balance your emotions, cultivate a growth mindset, and increase a feeling of connection with your community. You'll also discover tools to help you manage negative thoughts and feelings, identify your values, build resilience in the face of stress, improve relationships, and foster healing in your community.

  Tell Me about Your Bad Guys -...

  Michael Dowdy

  Michael Dowdy perceives the world as a poet, one with an anxiety disorder. As a result he has rarely experienced fathering or his relationship with his daughter, A, as a linear narrative. Rather, his impressions of fathering coalesce in encounters with the conditions of our time, producing intense flashes of awareness and emotion. Critiquing his own fathering practices, Dowdy's essays move between simplicity—being present for his daughter—and complexity—considering the harrowing present of entrenched misogyny, school shootings, climate change, and other threats to childing and fathering with love, optimism, and joy. 
   
   
   
  The essays in Tell Me about Your Bad Guys do not provide easy answers. They follow instead an interrogative mode, guided by A's unruly questions and Dowdy's desire to avoid fatherhood literature's traps: false modesty, antic ineptitude, and defensive clowning. This means understanding fathering not as an ironclad identity or a cohesive story but as a process of trial and error, self-reflection, and radical openness. With measures of dark humor, the essays take seriously the literary, material, and political stakes of fathering and in doing so challenge patriarchal norms and one-dimensional accounts of fatherhood.

  Confronting racism is difficult but essential work if we are to heal the brokenness in our society and our church. In the author's words, "We all are wounded by the sin of racism . . . How can we struggle together against an evil that harms us all?" 
   
   
   
  Racial Justice and the Catholic Church examines the presence of racism in America from its early history through the Civil Rights Movement and the election of Barack Obama. It also explores how Catholic social teaching has been used—and not used—to promote reconciliation and justice. 
   
   
   
  Massingale writes from an abiding conviction that the Catholic faith and the black experience make essential contributions in the continuing struggle against racial injustice that is the work of all people. His book is a must-listen for all those concerned with justice and healing in our world.
