This book is a commonsense guide to becoming a reflective
practitioner, written by a practitioner for practitioners. Relying
on actual practice situations, stories, and self-guided exercises,
it responds to the questions: Why should professionals care about
reflective practice? How do its principles and methods increase
competence? What characteristics distinguish reflective
practitioners? Every person in a conflict resolution process sees
the world differently and acts in a distinctive manner. Yet, by
following well-developed practice routines, practitioners often
fail to consider the unpredictability of human interactions and
overlook behaviors that are inconsistent with their expectations.
To respond effectively to surprising and unpredictable events, this
book encourages practitioners to adapt their thinking, so they can
use their knowledge and skills when situations do not match their
assumptions or are inconsistent with their practice routines.

Fear is the driving component to either move you forward or to
stop you in your tracks. The choice is always yours; you can turn
around and run away or you can move toward that which you fear.
Failure is an option; fear is not. When you turn from the wall of
fear and go back to your comfort zone, life still goes on, but you
miss out on everything that is on the other side of the wall-all
the opportunities that may come from going through the wall and
struggling past your fear.
Fear is not an indicator that you are doing the wrong things,
that you don't have talent, education, or that you are in the wrong
place. Many times in life you can be on the right path, pursuing
your dreams, but you are scared to death.
A powerful, personal exploration of anxiety, ADHD and neurodiversity, Normally Weird and Weirdly Normal reminds us all – no matter how weird we feel – that it’s okay to be a little different. We all are.
What if being a bit weird is actually entirely normal? What if sharing our internal struggles wasn’t a sign of weakness, but strength?
For over thirty years, award-winning broadcaster and comedian Robin Ince has entertained thousands in person and on air. But underneath the surface, a whirlwind was at play – a struggle with sadness, concentration, self-doubt and near-constant anxiety. But then he discovered he had all the hallmarks of ADHD and his stumbling blocks became stepping stones.
In Normally Weird and Weirdly Normal, Robin uses his own experiences to explore the neurodivergent experience and to ask what the point of “being normal” really is. Packed with personal insights, intimate anecdotes and interviews with psychologists, neuroscientists and many neurodivergent people he has met along the way, this is a quirky and witty dive into the world of human behaviour.

Brave New Collection Honors Women's Spirit Worldwide
"No Ocean Here" bears moving accounts of women and girls in
certain developing and underdeveloped countries. The book raises
concern, and chronicles the socio-cultural conditions of women in
parts of Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. The stories, either
based on personal interviews or inspired by true stories, are
factual, visceral, haunting, and bold narratives, presented in the
form of poems.
"Sweta Srivastava Vikram is no ordinary poet. The 44 poems in this
slim volume carry the weight of unspeakable horrors and injustices
against women. Sweta's words span the globe. Her spare and
evocative phrases weave a dark tapestry of oppressive conventions
that in the telling and in our reading and hearing, she helps to
unravel."
-- Kay Chernush, Founder/Director, ArtWorks for Freedom

This powerful self-help book will change the way you see your past and transform the way you live now.
Do you struggle to find happiness in yourself or in your relationships? Do you have issues with your physical or mental health such as fatigue, anxiety, sleep problems, addictions or depression? Do you feel emotionally numb, or are you unable to truly feel your emotions? You are not alone. And maybe you need to stop blaming yourself.
We are all affected by our early experiences – both good and bad. But for many of us, the patterns of our younger years have damaged us as adults, leaving us unable to truly feel or form lasting positive relationships with ourselves and others.
As children, we're dependent on those around us to meet our emotional needs for us – the need for boundaries, safety and love. When these key needs go unanswered, the template for good mental health in adulthood is not properly formed. As adults, we can learn to meet these needs for ourselves, and to break free from a life of unnecessary suffering. Doing so doesn't just heal the impact of our past, it also helps us unlock our true potential in life.
Childhood trauma will continue to trap us throughout our lives if we don't seek to confront it. Drawing on his own healing from childhood trauma and his clinical work with thousands of patients, Alex Howard sets a clear path to understanding your own unique blueprint from childhood and then provides a clinically proven reset plan for healing.
It's Not Your Fault will help you to understand your trauma and heal its impact, build better boundaries and connect to your emotions to create healthy and fulfilling relationships.
