  Codependency - Why do you...

  Are you having trouble fostering healthy relationships? 
  Are you stressed, feeling drained and exhausted from giving too much in your relationships? 
  Do you know who you are? What you need? What you like? Or do you feel that you need to be validated and approved by a partner (or any other person) to feel good about yourself? 
  Codependency is notoriously difficult to combat because there is no precise definition of the disorder. The signs and symptoms also differ for everyone. It is often mistaken for narcissism or other personality disorders that do not reflect the true situation. 
  People who suffer from this disorder tend to mask what they really feel. At other times, they are not even aware of what they are doing. This only serves to cloud the overall picture by delaying positive interventions, which, sometimes will never come. 
  I RECOMMEND THAT YOU READ THIS BOOK IF: 
  • You are not aware of how you truly feel. 
  • You have difficulty identifying your feelings. 
  • You have difficulty expressing your feelings. 
  • You tend to minimize, modify or even deny the reality of what you feel. 
  • You tend to worry and/or fear how others may respond to how you feel. 
  • You give power over your feelings to others. 
  Act now before it's too late 
  If a codependent denies his destructive behavior, he can pass it on to his children. If the child does not realise the behavioural model of the parents, and its negative impact, it will generate the same patterns as an adult. An endless cycle can be established. 
  Commit to breaking this cycle and regain control of your life.

  Shadows into Light - A...

  During the civil war that ravaged Sierra Leone from 1991 to 2002, an estimated 20,000 children were forced to join the fighting. As villages were raided and youths rounded up, it was not uncommon for a child to be ordered to kill a friend, relative, or neighbor. The goal was to make it impossible for the captives to return home and be accepted back into their communities. 
   
   
   
  But when the conflict ended, many of the children did find their way home. Theresa Betancourt and her collaborators in Sierra Leone launched a study of more than 500 boys and girls who had been pulled into the war, tracking them for over two decades. The results were surprising: despite everything they had suffered, this was not a lost generation. In fact, the most dominant trend was one of healing and increasing acceptance. The lives of the former child soldiers were shaped not just by their personal ordeals but also by the responses of their families, peers, and communities. Shadows into Light describes heartbreak and despair but also remarkable triumphs. 
   
   
   
  Betancourt's study provides insight into the long-term psychological and developmental effects of family separation, war, and exposure to violence. The lessons go beyond Sierra Leone's tragedy, suggesting that we should think of children's risk and resilience more as products of the post-trauma environment than as individual traits.

  Reproductive Wrongs - A Short...

  A bracing feminist chronicle of the history of the West told through seven texts, exposing where our most virulent ideas about women came from. 
   
  The dangerous belief that granting women reproductive freedom poses a threat to "traditional" values is a myth that has long prospered in American politics, playing an especially vicious role in the development of totalitarianism in the West. How did such damaging ideas arise? 
   
  In Reproductive Wrongs, acclaimed translator and cultural historian Sarah Ruden exposes how ideologies that oppress women and families in the service of power took hold. Ruden traces a sweeping history through her trenchant analysis of seven pieces of literature that, she argues, marked key inflection points across two thousand years. From propagandistic poetry written by Ovid in the early Roman Empire to the biography of an evangelical American "abortion survivor," Ruden lays bare how doctrines of control over women were invented and propagated. 
   
  Scathing and vital, Reproductive Wrongs unearths the evolution of a right–wing radicalism that endures to this day, when half of the United States population is losing access to basic human rights.
