Rebuilding the Helper

Pasquale De Marco

Beschreibung

In a world where helpers dedicate themselves to alleviating the suffering of others, they often find themselves grappling with the emotional fallout of trauma exposure—a phenomenon known as vicarious traumatization (VT). This transformative book offers a lifeline to helpers, providing a comprehensive guide to understanding, preventing, and healing from VT.

With empathy and expertise, this book delves into the complexities of VT, shedding light on its profound impact on helpers' lives. It explores the emotional, psychological, and spiritual toll of trauma work, addressing the challenges helpers face in maintaining their own well-being while supporting others. Through real-life stories and evidence-based strategies, the book empowers helpers to recognize VT, cultivate resilience, and navigate the path to recovery.

This book serves as a beacon of hope for helpers, offering a wealth of practical tools and strategies for preventing and addressing VT. It emphasizes the importance of self-care, boundary setting, and seeking support from peers and professionals. It also highlights the crucial role of organizations in fostering a culture of care that values and supports the well-being of helpers.

Beyond individual healing, this book calls for systemic change to create a more supportive environment for helpers. It advocates for trauma-informed policies and practices in organizations, as well as greater recognition of the unique challenges faced by helpers. By fostering a collective understanding of VT, we can create a world where helpers are empowered to thrive in their roles and continue making a positive impact on the lives of others.

This book is an essential resource for helpers across all disciplines, including healthcare professionals, social workers, educators, first responders, and volunteers. It is also a valuable guide for anyone seeking to support the well-being of helpers in their lives. Together, we can transform the pain of VT into a catalyst for growth, resilience, and positive change.

Intercourse

Andrea Dworkin, Ariel Levy

Andrea Dworkin, once called "Feminism's Malcolm X," has been worshipped, reviled, criticized, and analyzed—but never ignored. The power of her writing, the passion of her ideals, and the ferocity of her intellect have spurred the arguments and activism of two generations of feminists. Now the book that she's best known for—in which she provoked the argument that ultimately split apart the feminist movement—is being reissued for the young women and men of the twenty-first century. Intercourse enraged as many readers as it inspired when it was first published in 1987. In it, Dworkin argues that in a male supremacist society, sex between men and women constitutes a central part of women's subordination to men. (This argument was quickly—and falsely—simplified to "all sex is rape" in the public arena, adding fire to Dworkin's already radical persona.) In her introduction to this twentieth-anniversary edition of Intercourse, Ariel Levy, the author of Female Chauvinist Pigs, discusses the circumstances of Dworkin's untimely death in the spring of 2005, and the enormous impact of her life and work. Dworkin's argument, she points out, is the stickiest question of feminism: Can a woman fight the power when he shares her bed?

Megumi Miki

In the uncertain, changing, global and interconnected world, the 'alpha' or 'hero' leadership style alone is outdated and inadequate. Quieter professionals, who are often overlooked or taken advantage of without recognition, have immense value to contribute to organisations. In this book, Megumi Miki shares her own experience and those of many other quiet professionals who have achieved great success in the business environment. 
Megumi believes that a shift in our beliefs about leadership will allow talented quiet professionals to view their quiet nature as a strength and to succeed in their own way, rather than seeing it as a disadvantage. She aims to empower quieter professionals and those outside majority groups to fulfil their potential. 
Quietly Powerful challenges quiet professionals to reframe the story they tell themselves about their leadership potential - and encourages organisations to expand their ideas about what good leadership looks, sounds and feels like.

Lyric Vale

Human civilization is fundamentally a story of movement, migration, and collective settlement—with cities emerging as the most complex and dynamic manifestations of our collective human experience. From ancient settlements clustered around rivers and trade routes to today's sprawling global metropolises, urbanization represents a profound transformation of how humans organize, interact, and envision community. This comprehensive exploration delves into the intricate narrative of The History of Urbanization, the multifaceted Impacts of Urban Growth, and the emergence of Global Cities, tracing the remarkable journey of human settlement from isolated communities to interconnected, sophisticated urban ecosystems. 
The evolution of cities is far more than a chronological progression of architectural and infrastructural development; it is a nuanced story of social adaptation, economic innovation, and human resilience. By examining the historical trajectories, contemporary challenges, and future potentials of urban growth, this book reveals the complex mechanisms that drive metropolitan transformation. Readers will journey through the social, economic, technological, and cultural forces that shape urban landscapes—uncovering how global cities emerge as crucibles of human potential, where demographic shifts, technological innovations, economic dynamics, and cultural exchanges converge to create living, breathing environments that continually redefine the boundaries of human collective experience.
