  The Hidden Wound Affecting Millions of WomenA father wound is a worthiness wound. Millions of women have one and don’t know it has a name. It's the inner voice telling you that you need to be different, better, or more accomplished to be worthy of love and consideration. We carry it into job interviews, first dates, and what we see in the mirror each and every day.After nearly three decades in clinical practice, Terri Cole has seen how profoundly father-daughter relationships shape a woman's sense of self. When a father or father figure is absent, abusive, immature, or emotionally unavailable, the injury can show up as difficulty trusting others, chronic self-abandonment, and relational patterns we repeat without knowing why. And even daughters of loving fathers can carry a father wound, formed by family dynamics and the subtle or overt conditioning of a patriarchal society.Healing is an inside job. It doesn't require your father's participation, presence, or approval, only your own. This work is for you, and about you.In Father Wound, Terri guides you back to the origin of your wound to uncover your unique Father Wound Blueprint and identify how it's influencing your life today. You'll learn how to:• Mourn the father relationship you deserved • Reparent yourself and break generational cycles • Reclaim your joy, pleasure, and sensuality • Become empowered and self-determined in your career, your life, and all your relationshipsThrough case studies, self-assessments, and nervous-system practices, you'll identify, honor, and integrate your father wound so you can reclaim your worth, boundaries, and relational power. "When you heal your father wound, every relationship in your life positively shifts: romantic, platonic, professional, and most importantly, the relationship you have with yourself, where real freedom begins."

  Not the Perfect Victim - A...

  He stole my voice. This is what it took to get it back. 
  First published in 2025. 
  In 2006, one night changed everything. 
  At nineteen, a violent trauma shattered Anna Kahill’s sense of safety and left her carrying the truth alone for more than a decade. Grief and motherhood shaped the years that followed, as the memories she had buried gradually resurfaced. A later diagnosis of autism and PTSD reframed what she had lived through — and why she had remained silent for so long. 
  Not the Perfect Victim is an unflinching account of survival and the fight for justice inside a system that many survivors, legal professionals, and advocacy groups describe as notoriously difficult to navigate in sexual violence cases. With clarity and courage, Anna exposes the impossible expectations placed on traumatised and neurodivergent women — and the silence demanded of anyone who doesn’t fit the “perfect victim” mould. 
  Told with restraint, yet unflinching in its honesty, this memoir speaks to anyone who has questioned their memory, their worth, or their right to be heard. 
  As featured in The Irish News, The Belfast Telegraph, Books Ireland, Women Writers, Writing.ie, Armagh I, and The Newry Democrat. 
  For readers of: 
  Know My Name — Chanel Miller 
  What My Bones Know — Stephanie Foo 
  The Body Keeps the Score — Bessel van der Kolk 
  A memoir that refuses silence — and shows what it really takes to reclaim your life.

  'Groundbreaking . . . [provides] a deep history of the invention of the "normal" mind as one of the most damaging and oppressive tools of capitalism. To read it is to see the world more clearly' Steve Silberman, author of NeuroTribes 
   
   
   
  Neurodiversity is on the rise. Awareness and diagnoses have exploded in recent years, but we are still missing a wider understanding of how we got here and why. Beyond simplistic narratives of normativity and difference, this groundbreaking book exposes the very myth of the 'normal' brain as a product of intensified capitalism. 
   
   
   
  Exploring the rich histories of the neurodiversity and disability movements, Robert Chapman shows how the rise of capitalism created an 'empire of normality' that transformed our understanding of the body into that of a productivity machine. Neurodivergent liberation is possible—but only by challenging the deepest logics of capitalism. Empire of Normality is an essential guide to understanding the systems that shape our bodies, minds, and deepest selves—and how we can undo them.
