Beschreibung

“Laugh! Cry! G-A-S-P!"This heart-wrenching and triumphant love story is a tale of advocacy and caregiving. Donna's husband, David, stumbled into their bedroom, his hand covering a blood-filled eye from a brain hemorrhage.Donna called 9-1-1. David slipped into a coma. At that moment, Donna was thrust onto the path of caregiver for her best friend and the love of her life.In her debut memoir, Donna shares how a neurosurgeon said that David would make a "great organ donor." She writes of arrogant doctors, uncaring visitors, insensitive ambulance drivers, and problematic nurses. She also tells of the many compassionate doctors, nurses, therapists, staff, strangers, family members, and friends who helped them on their journey.Donna compellingly describes her ability to appear positive as she experiences the horror of making life-or-death decisions. As her world crashes, she credits laughter as her lifesaver. More than thirteen years later, Donna and David are living a "new normal" together.

    “What I experienced wasn’t that bad, not bad enough to be real trauma.” Could you be one of the dismissed and ignored trauma survivors? Are you coping with unidentified complex PTSD from early intangible attachment trauma? 
    Author Ricia Fleming was: “It took me 26 years to complete this book,” she says, “because it took me that long – even as a licensed psychotherapist – to acknowledge the seriousness of the category of trauma I came to call naCCT, an acronym for its four characteristics: no physical assault, attachment-based, chronic, and covert. 
    "During those 26 years I often shoved the draft deep into my closet after someone shamed me for thinking such ‘little things’ could be serious enough to cause PTSD.” 
    With no tangible trauma to point to, confusion and self-shaming are normal for adults wounded by early naCCTs such as emotional neglect, gaslighting, or traumatic absence of loving hugs, interest, or understanding; many even deny they’ve been traumatized at all. 
    Yet, realistically, when we’re little, subtle everyday disturbances in our lifeline relationships with mother, father or other caregivers can register on our bodies, minds, and spirits as threats to life itself. In a word, as ‘trauma.’ 
    Whether or not your caregiver was well-intentioned, whether or not you also experienced blatant physical assaults like beatings or incest, the cumulative effect of early naCCTs can cause complex PTSD, leaving you to cope with physical, psychological, financial, and relationship problems and overall lack of fun, meaning, and spontaneity. 
    To meet the unique challenges of this under-explored trauma category, you now have a healing guidebook written by a therapist/survivor just for you. With empowering information, encouragement, and down-to-earth stories, this life-changing book will help you take pride in how well you have managed so far. Then it will provide you with realistic action steps for starting to feel better right away.

    Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy - Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) is an innovative approach that combines the principles of mindfulness with cognitive therapy techniques to address mental health challenges and enhance mental clarity. Developed as a preventative intervention for depression relapse, MBCT has grown in popularity and application across various mental health contexts due to its effectiveness in cultivating awareness and emotional resilience. 
    At its core, MBCT integrates mindfulness practices—rooted in ancient meditative traditions—with evidence-based cognitive behavioral strategies. Mindfulness involves paying attention to the present moment with a sense of openness, curiosity, and non-judgment. It encourages individuals to observe their thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations without being swept away by them. When combined with cognitive therapy, which focuses on identifying and restructuring negative thought patterns, MBCT provides a powerful framework for managing psychological distress. 
    Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is a modern behavioral therapy rooted in the principle of psychological flexibility—the ability to adapt to changing circumstances, remain present, and take meaningful actions even in the face of adversity. Instead of battling unwanted thoughts and emotions, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages acceptance of them as natural elements of human existence. This shift in perspective allows individuals to redirect their energy from avoidance to engagement, fostering a sense of purpose and fulfillment.
