Parenting Trauma

Divorce is one of the few things that’s more stressful than changing jobs or moving house, and there’s often a feeling that there’s simply no light at the end of the tunnel. The person who was your rock somehow became your worst enemy, constantly ready to do battle with you and sabotage your happiness.

Childhood trauma is more common than any healthy society would like, with more than two-thirds of children reporting at least one traumatic event by age 16.

"Defeat the Narcissist" is your comprehensive guide to self-healing, providing you with the tools and strategies needed to disarm narcissists, escape their manipulation, and rebuild your life with confidence and resilience. This book offers a transformative journey, empowering you to overcome psychological abuse and trauma bonds, ultimately leading you to a place of peace and self-empowerment.

When her six-year-old daughter found her collapsed on the kitchen floor, Rachel had no idea how much her life was about to change. A brain scan revealed a dark shadowy mass, a huge abnormal growth of tissue that, whilst benign, was still growing and would surely kill her. It was too big to operate on. It needed to be "managed", and Rachel had, at best, two years to live. Refusing to accept the bleak prognosis, Rachel was determined to stay alive.

Embark on your transformative journey today. EMBRACE your inner child, unlock authentic living, and cultivate lasting self-love. Progress can be challenging when an adult with inner child issues is in the driver’s seat. But what is this inner child, and how much control can it have on you?

Within this book lies the key to unlocking that door that holds the dark shadows hostage. As you walk deep into the shadows, you’ll be able to physically grab hold of the bad energy that causes stress, anxiety, depression, fear, and pain, and release it out of the closet of darkness. Around the corridor is the shadows consciousness where you’ll face the challenges that you gave up on years ago, where all those decisions have shaped you into the person you are today. Downstairs is where you look darkness in the face; and scare fear away.

Anxiety can escalate to another level. When a person is exposed to traumatic or negative events where they feel little or no control in the outcome, the anxiety can turn into post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). If you have enough recurring events in your life that are traumatic, you may even be diagnosed with complex post-traumatic stress disorder (C-PTSD).

Contrary to what many people believe, we can recover from emotional trauma relatively quickly and completely on our own. Keep Pain in the Past explains a process that allows you to do most, if not all, of the recovery on your own. It will teach you the critical skill of treating psychological wounds and help you identify and face this pain and find closure on your own. Use Dr. Chris Cortman's easy-to-master method to remember, feel, express, release, and reframe the trauma that has been haunting you for years.

When a physical wound is left unhealed, it continues to cause pain and can infect the whole body. When emotions are left unhealed, they similarly cause harm that spreads to other parts of our lives. Eventually, this hurt spreads further. This is intergenerational trauma. It can lead us to become people-pleasers, co-dependent in relationships and even estranged from our families. The wounds are complex and continue to invade our minds, bodies and spirits long after. In Break the Cycle, Dr Mariel Buqué delivers the ground-breaking guide to healing inherited trauma.

Cuando eras niño, tu mente y tu corazón eran especialmente frágiles y vulnerables. Incluso con la mejor crianza del mundo, probablemente aprendiste algún comportamiento perjudicial o poco saludable que llevaste contigo a la adultez. Tu conexión con tu yo infantil y tus recuerdos de la infancia, especialmente los negativos o traumáticos, se conoce como tu "niño interior". Y si no sanas a ese niño interior, éste puede influir considerablemente en tu propio estilo de crianza, afectando a su vez a tus hijos.

Stop feeling not good enough, stop believing everything is always your fault, stop telling yourself you don't deserve to be loved. If this sounds like you there is a good chance you were raised by a parent on the "Continuum of Narcissism." Parents who either had to always be right, appear perfect, were self-absorbed, or thrived on power and control.

Do you feel guilty when you’re not able to help someone who completely depends on you? Are you feeling like you don’t have the freedom to explore opportunities for growth? Do you feel like you can’t live up to your full potential because you have to take care of everyone’s needs before your own? Margot Fayre, doctor of psychology, knows this all too well.

We are built to love. Every part of our physiology and psychology is designed to attach with others and share our lives in deep and meaningful ways.
