The Health of Human Trafficking...

Irving Roberto Rimolo

Slavery has existed since ancient times, was integral to building most civilizations, and was written into the Code of Hammurabi (Wells, 2008). It has appropriately been called “the world’s oldest trade” (Vink, 2003). Although Mauritania became the last country in the world to criminalize slavery in 2007, it is estimated there are over 45 million people enslaved worldwide today (McDougall, 2015; Walk Free Foundation, 2016). By means of comparison, historians generally agree approximately 12 million slaves were traded during the entire 400-year Trans- 
Atlantic slave trade (Manning, 1992; Nunn, 2008).  
    Modern-day slavery is also known as human trafficking and has been documented in all 50 states (U.S. Department of State, 2016). Although the United States and international communities have cooperated to outlaw trafficking activities and protect victims with the passage of the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) in 2000, much of the focus has been on legal protection. Little progress has been made in addressing the health needs of victims of human trafficking (Hom & Woods, 2013). Human trafficking harms people physically and emotionally, but health is the least understood aspect of the trafficking process. Notably, trafficking has been called a “public health crisis”, and a “pandemic” (de Chesnay, 2013, p. 901; Goodwin Veenema, Thornton, & Corley, p. 864). The health care response, however, has been “largely neglected in anti-trafficking work”, particularly when compared to efforts in law enforcement, immigrant law, and public policy (Zimmerman, Hossain, & Watts, 2011, p. 327).

The Unshakable Mind - Stoicism...

Dorian Frinch

The Unshakable Mind: Stoicism Meets Cognitive Behavioral Therapy reveals the deep connection between ancient Stoic philosophy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Long before modern psychology named automatic thoughts, cognitive distortions, and belief systems, Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus, and Seneca were teaching people how to question their perceptions, challenge emotional reactions, and build inner stability.    This practical audiobook explains how your thoughts shape your suffering, how the Stoic view of judgment mirrors the CBT model, and how to recognize common cognitive distortions such as catastrophizing, mind reading, emotional reasoning, overgeneralization, and all-or-nothing thinking. Blending ancient wisdom with modern psychological tools, it gives listeners a clear toolkit for managing anxiety, reducing emotional reactivity, and responding to life with greater clarity and control.
