A Child of the Heart

Pasquale De Marco

Sinopsis

In the tapestry of human relationships, few bonds are as profound and life-altering as the one between parent and child. Yet, for some families, this sacred connection is marred by the devastating effects of attachment disorder, a complex trauma-based condition that disrupts the child's ability to form healthy emotional bonds.

In this poignant and deeply moving memoir, we walk alongside adoptive parents as they navigate the tumultuous journey of raising three boys deeply wounded by early trauma. We bear witness to their unwavering love and resilience as they confront the boys' manipulative behaviors, their explosive outbursts, and their inability to form genuine connections.

With unflinching honesty, they chronicle the emotional toll it takes on their marriage, their relationship with their biological children, and their own physical and emotional well-being. Yet, amidst the darkness, a flicker of hope persists, a beacon of love that propels them forward.

Their unwavering commitment to their children becomes a testament to the transformative power of love. They tirelessly advocate for their children's needs, battling an unyielding bureaucracy that often fails to understand the complexities of attachment disorder. They embrace the transformative power of therapy, witnessing firsthand the gradual healing of their children's wounded hearts.

Their story is a stark reminder that attachment disorder is a treatable condition, a journey of healing that requires patience, unwavering love, and a refusal to give up. It is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, the unyielding power of love, and the transformative potential that lies within every child, no matter how wounded.

With raw emotion and profound insight, this book delves into the depths of a family's struggle with attachment disorder, offering a lifeline of hope and understanding to those who walk this difficult path. It is a story of love, resilience, and the unwavering belief in the power of the human spirit to heal.

How to Talk with Anyone about...

PhD Harville Hendrix, Helen...

Relationships everywhere are in crisis due to our inability to talk about "difference" without polarizing. Since objection to difference is the core human problem, we need a skill that helps us connect beyond difference. That's just what New York Times bestselling authors Dr. Harville Hendrix and Dr. Helen LaKelly Hunt offer in their new book: How To Talk With Anyone About Anything. They call it the Safe Conversations Dialogue process, which everyone can learn and teach, that moves all relationships from danger to safety, making connecting possible.
For centuries, most of us humans have talked to others in monologues, believing that the world is the way we see it, that what we say about it is the "truth" and we have assumed that everyone sees it "our" way. If they do not, we experience tension and conflict on many levels. On the other hand, few of us have ever listened to others while they are talking and tried to see the world from their point of view while retaining our own perspective. Instead of listening to understand and collaborate about our differences, we tend to replace their perspective with our own. This results in polarization, not only in our personal lives and work environments, but also in the political and religious arenas we inhabit. This has led to anxiety, frustration, anger, violence, and war. Clearly, the world needs a new way to talk that transcends difference and leads to collaboration, co-creation, and cooperation.
Getting the Love You Want, teach that the practice of Safe Conversations Dialogue impacts the "physics of the Space Between." Here is what they mean:All of us live in and are a part of an energy field in which everything everywhere is connecting with everything everywhere. This energy field occupies the Space-Between us.When there is safety in the energy field that occupies the Space-Between us, we can connect.When there is anxiety in the Space Between, we defend ourselves. We cannot connect but tend to polarize.Anyone, if they decide to, can restore safety in the Space Between by using a structure conversation skill called the Safe Conversations Dialogue.
In How to Talk with Anyone about Anything, Harville and Helen share the wisdom of the Safe Conversations process and the four structured and teachable skills that create safety and connection:Dialogue: Dialogue is two or more people taking turns talking and listening. Monologue is one person talking and expecting everyone else to listen. When two or more people shift from Monologue to Dialogue, they can transform any relationship from conflict to safety, connection and collaboration.Zero Negativity: Negativity disrupts safety and is non-negotiable for safe and thriving relationships. When Dialogue is practiced with Zero Negativity, criticism about what one does not have is replaced with a positive request for what one wants. This transforms conflict into safety and connecting.Empathy: Empathy is the capacity to experience or imagine how another person has gone through life. When Dialogue is practiced with empathy, one can more easily accept the different perspective of another person and maintain one's own perspective without polarizing.Affirmation: Affirmation is valuing another person because they exist rather than for what they have done for you. When Dialogue includes affirmation, the other person experiences themselves as human rather than as an "object" that is valued because of what they do.
How to Talk with Anyone about Anything offers the keys to unlocking your ability to connect with others in a new and profoundly different way. And, as more of us hone that ability, together, we can bring about a fundamental shift in society away from our current focus on the "self" and polarization about difference towards safety and true connection tha

Going Public - A Survivor’s...

Julie Macfarlane

It took Julie Macfarlane a lifetime to say the words out loud — the words that finally broke the calm and traveled farther than she could have imagined. In this clear-eyed account, she confronts her own silence and deeply rooted trauma to chart a remarkable course from sexual abuse victim to agent of change.
		 
Going Public merges the worlds of personal and professional, activism and scholarship. Drawing upon decades of legal training, Macfarlane decodes the well-worn methods used by church, school, and state to silence survivors, from first reporting to cross-examination to non-disclosure agreements. At the same time, she lays bare the isolation and exhaustion of going public in her own life, as she takes her abuser to court, challenges her colleagues, and weathers a defamation lawsuit.
		 
The result is far more than a memoir. It’s a courageous and essential blueprint on how to go toe-to-toe with the powers behind institutional abuse and protectionism. At long last, Macfarlane’s experiences bring her to the most important realization of her life: that only she can stand in her own shoes, and only she can stand up and speak about what happened to her.

Dawn at Mineral King Valley -...

Daniel P. Selmi

The story behind the historic Mineral King Valley case, which reveals how the Sierra Club battled Disney’s ski resort development and launched a new environmental era in America. 
  
In our current age of climate change–induced panic, it’s hard to imagine a time when private groups were not actively enforcing environmental protection laws in the courts. It wasn’t until 1972, however, that a David and Goliath–esque Supreme Court showdown involving the Sierra Club and Disney set a revolutionary legal precedent for the era of environmental activism we live in today. 
  
Set against the backdrop of the environmental movement that swept the country in the late 1960s and early 1970s, Dawn at Mineral King Valley tells the surprising story of how the US Forest Service, the Disney company, and the Sierra Club each struggled to adapt to the new, rapidly changing political landscape of environmental consciousness in postwar America. Proposed in 1965 and approved by the federal government in 1969, Disney’s vast development plan would have irreversibly altered the practically untouched Mineral King Valley, a magnificently beautiful alpine area in the Sierra Nevada mountains. At first, the plan met with unanimous approval from elected officials, government administrators, and the press—it seemed inevitable that this expanse of wild natural land would be radically changed and turned over to a private corporation. Then the scrappy Sierra Club forcefully pushed back with a lawsuit that ultimately propelled the modern environmental era by allowing interest groups to bring litigation against environmentally destructive projects. 
  
An expert on environmental law and appellate advocacy, Daniel P. Selmi uses his authoritative narrative voice to recount the complete history of this revolutionary legal battle and the ramifications that continue today, almost 50 years later.

ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
This book explores the idea that individuals are powerful creators of their own reality through the direction of their thoughts and emotions. It introduces a concept of "Source Energy," a universal force that is constantly flowing to everyone, and explains that emotions serve as a guidance system that indicates one's alignment with that Source. It emphasizes that positive emotions signal alignment, while negative emotions indicate resistance. The core message is that by consciously choosing thoughts that feel good and by focusing on what is wanted rather than on what is not, individuals can achieve a state of allowing and attract their desires. The book presents various processes and techniques that can help anyone to enhance their ability to manifest their intentions and live more fulfilling lives, such as the "Magical Creation Box", the "Creative Workshop", "Scripting", and the "Focus Wheel". These methods are designed to clarify desires and overcome limiting beliefs.
