Biracial Women in Therapy: Between the Rock of Gender and the Hard
Place of Race examines how physical appearance, cultural knowledge,
and cultural stereotypes affect the experience of mixed-race women
in belonging to, and being accepted within, their cultures. This
unique book combines empirical research, theoretical papers, and
first-person narrative to address issues relevant to providing
therapy to biracial women and girls, helping therapists and
counselors develop a treatment framework based on sociocultural
factors. Researchers, practitioners, and academics provide insight
into the biracial reality, taking multiple aspects of clients'
lives into account rather than looking for simple hierarchies of
well-being based on race. Biracial Women in Therapy is a building
block for mental health practitioners in the construction of theory
and practice in working with biracial females. The book examines
how a biracial women's racial/ethnic identity intersects with her
gender and sexual identity to affect her sense of belonging and
acceptance, addressing issues of appearance, social class,
disability, power and guilt, and dating and marriage. Topics
addressed in the book include: the complexities of multiple
minority status how ethnic differences affect biracial adolescents
issues encountered by biracial women from a sociohistorical context
biracial women's attitudes toward counseling stereotypes of
marginalization and identity confusion a multicultural feminist
approach to counseling and a first-person narrative of one author's
racial and sexual identity development Biracial Women in Therapy:
Between the Rock of Gender and the Hard Place of Race is a
one-of-a-kind resource for counselors, therapists, researchers, and
academics seeking insight into unique issues of mixed-race women.

An illustrated manual for using physical movement and alignment to
resolve chronic pain and tension and work with the emotions *
Includes 62 exercises to work with emotions through the body and

as well as breathing and voice * Draws on Zen shiatsu, Rolfing,

physical structure corrects imbalances in the unconscious mind * "
Cathy Thompson had the rarest combination of experience, knowledge,
and pure instinct. I only had to walk in the door for her to
understand where I was at physically, and emotionally. And the
results were as unorthodox and surprising as her methods. She was
one of a kind." - Hugh Jackman, actor and producer. * "Cathy's
extraordinary gift began in her brain, traveled to her heart and
continued through the tips of her fingers." - Kathie Lee Gifford,
TV personality and author. In this practical manual, Thompson and
her protege-daughter Tara Thompson Lewis provide a deep
understanding of body mechanics and how to work with emotions
through the body. They explore how to listen to the body's signals
to discover our physical and emotional blindspots--the weaknesses
and misalignments at the root of our discomfort--and explain how
transformation of your physical structure can correct imbalances in
the unconscious mind caused by repressed memories and emotional
traumas. Offering illustrated instructions for 62 corrective
alignment exercises, the authors show how to work with the deep
postural muscles, and support the neck, shoulders, lower back, and
feet to improve singing, dancing, yoga, and posture while sitting
at the computer. By recognizing and releasing the deeper emotional
triggers beneath our physical complaints, the Thompson Method
allows you to resolve chronic pains, increase body awareness and
free movement, and create the foundation for good health and
well-being.
