Introducing us to eleven ordinary women who came to commit extreme
acts, Anna Motz - one of Britain's leading forensic
psychotherapists - sheds light on women's capacity for violence.
She takes the reader on a journey into psychotherapy, uncovering
their motives and the fault lines in their psyche that led to their
crimes. We meet Mary, who turned to arson after her son was taken
into care, Maja, whose fantasy life led to her stalking an
ex-boyfriend, and Dolores, whose terrible crime is unimaginable to
most people. Always treating her patients with care and compassion,
despite often struggling to process the details of their deeds,
Anna Motz explores the dance between patient and therapist and the
tortuous pathways to recovery and understanding. Deeply affecting,
compelling and profound, A Love That Kills offers a rare glimpse
inside the world of the forensic psychotherapist and asks us to
consider vital questions about how society treats women who commit
terrible crimes.
This is a story of midlife reinvention, of friendships,
relationships and a working life all put to the test by the seismic
effects of menopause. But it is also a story of love and
homecoming. It is about the healing power of walking in nature, the
therapeutic process of writing and one woman's determination to
redefine what success and happiness look like. Living the dream
isn't all she hoped it would be when Lisa swaps a high-flying job
in London for a freelance life as a writer, editor and yoga teacher
by the sea in India. She struggles to control the tide of emotions
that hit her as the red mists of menopause descend and she begins
to question whether her new life - and her relationship with a much
younger man - are all she hoped they would be. When the pandemic
hits, Lisa decides that the universe has made the decision for her
and back in England, she falls for the charms of a man her own age.
However, he is not who he appears to be. Neither are the friends
she'd hoped would support her when she publishes her first book and
releases her 'dark horses' for all the world to see. After
travelling back to her homeland in Wales and reconnecting with 'The
Most Handsome Man in Goa' in India, Lisa is forced to confront her
dark horses alone when her health and hormones threaten to derail
the happiness she's learned to live for.
A practical guide to using your Korean Sasang body type to optimize
your health during menopause The ancient Korean art of Sasang
medicine explains how each of us is born with a specific body type
that establishes our physical and emotional strengths and
weaknesses. These traits have a direct influence on how we interact
with others and react to stress and life's transitions. Discovering
your type will enable you to understand why you are prone to
certain symptoms and not others, choose the most compatible
remedies and treatments, and make the best choices regarding your
health and well-being. Applying the wisdom of Sasang medicine to
the major life transition of menopause, Dr. Gary Wagman explores
how each of the four Sasang body types has its own unique
menopausal challenges, as well as opportunities, and how the
natural remedies and diets that work for one type might not work
for another. Providing guidelines and tests to determine your type,
he details each type's emotional tendencies, physical strengths and
weaknesses, and their balance of Yin and Yang energy within the
organ systems, explaining why hot flashes occur when they do, why
insomnia is suddenly an issue, or why you feel depressed. Revealing
the impact our emotions have on our physiological health, he
describes how different emotions, such as anger and sadness,
correlate with a particular type's inborn energetic patterns.
Presenting natural remedies, exercises, supplements, and diet and
food recommendations for each Yin-Yang body type, Dr. Wagman also
includes body-type-specific Sasang herbal remedies for the most
common challenges related to menopause, including hot flashes,
osteoporosis, depression, mood swings, hormone balance, urinary
health, fibroids, frozen shoulder, brain fog, and loss of libido.
Offering specific ways to take charge of your own emotional,
physical, and sexual health, this practical guide provides a
compass to help you smoothly navigate the sometimes turbulent
waters of menopause and harness the spiritual and emotional
strengths of this life transition.
