Complex PTSD: From Surviving to Thriving: A GUIDE AND MAP FOR RECOVERING FROM CHILDHOOD TRAUMA
I have Complex PTSD [Cptsd] and wrote this book from the perspective of someone who has experienced a great reduction of symptoms over the years. I also wrote it from the viewpoint of someone who has discovered many silver linings in the long windy bumpy road of recovering from Cptsd. I felt encouraged to write this book because of thousands of e-mail responses to the articles on my website that repeatedly expressed gratitude for the helpfulness of my work. An often echoed comment sounded like this: At last someone gets it. I can see now that I am not bad defective or crazyor alone! The causes of Cptsd range from severe neglect to monstrous abuse. Many survivors grow up in houses that are not homes in families that are as loveless as orphanages and sometimes as dangerous. If you felt unwanted unliked rejected hated and/or despised for a lengthy portion of your childhood trauma may be deeply engrained in your mind soul and body. This book is a practical user-friendly self-help guide to recovering from the lingering effects of childhood trauma and to achieving a rich and fulfilling life. It is copiously illustrated with examples of my own and my clients journeys of recovering. This book is also for those who do not have Cptsd but want to understand and help a loved one who does. This book also contains an overview of the tasks of recovering and a great many practical tools and techniques for recovering from childhood trauma. It extensively elaborates on all the recovery concepts explained on my website and many more. However unlike the articles on my website it is oriented toward the layperson. As such much of the psychological jargon and dense concentration of concepts in the website articles has been replaced with expanded and easier to follow explanations. Moreover many principles that were only sketched out in the articles are explained in much greater detail. A great deal of new material is also explored. Key concepts of the book include managing emotional flashbacks understanding the four different types of trauma survivors differentiating the outer critic from the inner critic healing the abandonment depression that come from emotional abandonment and self-abandonment self-reparenting and reparenting by committee and deconstructing the hierarchy of self-injuring responses that childhood trauma forces survivors to adopt. The book also functions as a map to help you understand the somewhat linear progression of recovery to help you identify what you have already accomplished and to help you figure out what is best to work on and prioritize now. This in turn also serves to help you identify the signs of your recovery and to develop reasonable expectations about the rate of your recovery. I hope this map will guide you to heal in a way that helps you to become an unflinching source of kindness and self-compassion for yourself and that out of that journey you will find at least one other human being who will reciprocally love you well enough in that way.
Who Is Santa Claus?: A History of St. Nicholas the Christmas Tree and the Three
Who Is Santa Klaus?Just as the Christmas tree was brought over to this country by early German immigrants so Saint Nicholas or Santa Klaus came here in the train of the Dutch settlers of New York. He established himself first in the little island of Manhattan and then gradually spread all over the country. His Dutch origin is shown by the very name Santa Klaus which is common alike to Holland and America though it is elsewhere unknown.At first he was honored on his own day with the same observances that marked the festival in the Fatherland.Before the beginning of the nineteenth century St. Nicholas's day had been all but forgotten in New Amsterdam and New Year's Eve was the occasion when he made his rounds as a gift bearer to the children. Later he transferred his activities to Christmas. To go further back we know that even in the eighteenth century when New York was still to a great extent Dutch in blood and in feeling the little children of the Knickerbockers would gather expectant around the great hearth in the parlor on the eve of New Year and not on the eve of Saint Nicholas's feast. It was to Saint Nicholas they addressed the childish hymns and songs their forefathers had brought from Holland.It was about the middle of the nineteenth century that the funny men of America took the Saint under their special patronage. In Holland he had been austere and dignified as became a bishop and a saint. In America he developed into the fat jolly pot-bellied old roisterer whom we all know and love and who reminds us at so many points of the fun loving Silenus of Pagan times.Undoubtedly it was the American Clement C. Moore who immortalized the figure and decided the model which all succeeding poets and artists have ever followed.
