Book Description
"I Was Definitely Born Into Trauma," will open up many gates for conversation about childhood trauma. In this book, I spoke the rawness and realness of what I've endured. I was raised in a crap house surrounded by prostitutes, gamblers, drug dealers, pedophiles, killers, thieves, one saint and the most respected men's of the cloth, Pastor O.C. Collier & Pastor Brown. Growing up in the black community some parents normalized trauma. I was silenced as I spoke my truth about molestation. I was taught what went on in our home remained in our home. Child Molesters was protected and the child was silenced to carry the burden of traumatization of being violated as the fault was their own. I went from being shot at the age of three, being molested by a few people which was friends of the family, witnessing domestic abuse, facing colorism within my own home, dealing with mental health issues and being of witness to a murder, becoming the protector of many because I wasn't protected. Two weeks before I turned fourteen years old I became pregnant. I became a single parent at the age of fourteen to my son Timothy Wallace. I was kicked out of school at the age of fifteen. I didn't allow the life as a single mother to define me, I defined it. My first born son gave me strength. He gave me a reason to live. As a token of my appreciation to my oldest son Timothy Wallace and my remaining five children Timmesha Nash, Tyrell Wallace, Hamisha Howard, Nura Howard, Chukuana Howard and my grandchild De'Miya Wallace who I raised as my own, I received my education. I received my G.E.D. on my grandmothers, Martha Lucille Wallace birthday May 15, 1998. Also, I received my Associate's degree in Human Services and received my PLADAC license in Alcohol and Drug Counseling on June 17, 2017 @Southeast Community College in Lincoln Nebraska. I wanted to be a trail blazer for my children and grandchildren. I wanted them to know regardless of what life obstacle's throws at them, they can still come out on top positively and they're in control of their destiny as I was in control of mine. With this book you'll see all of the trauma I've endured. With all odds that was stacked against me, I beat all odds. I DEFINE my TRAUMA and didn't allow my TRAUMA to DEFINE me. This book will be a four book series. My oldest son Timothy Wallace was murdered two days before the world was closed down due to COVID-19. My series of books will be leading up to his murder, friends and a family member involvement in his murder, murder trial and living the life as a grieving mother while wearing many of hats while grieving. I want to give thanks and praise to my loving husband Ira James Bowdery for his amazing support, his strength, love, understanding, admiration and patience because it haven't been easy dealing with my grief with the loss of my child.

Book Description
A searing memoir of reckoning and healing by acclaimed journalist Stephanie Foo, investigating the little-understood science behind complex PTSD and how it has shaped her life “Achingly exquisite . . . providing real hope for those who long to heal.”—Lori Gottlieb, New York Times bestselling author of Maybe You Should Talk to Someone ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The Washington Post, Cosmopolitan, NPR, Mashable, She Reads, Publishers Weekly By age thirty, Stephanie Foo was successful on paper: She had her dream job as an award-winning radio producer at This American Life and a loving boyfriend. But behind her office door, she was having panic attacks and sobbing at her desk every morning. After years of questioning what was wrong with herself, she was diagnosed with complex PTSD—a condition that occurs when trauma happens continuously, over the course of years. Both of Foo’s parents abandoned her when she was a teenager, after years of physical and verbal abuse and neglect. She thought she’d moved on, but her new diagnosis illuminated the way her past continued to threaten her health, relationships, and career. She found limited resources to help her, so Foo set out to heal herself, and to map her experiences onto the scarce literature about C-PTSD. In this deeply personal and thoroughly researched account, Foo interviews scientists and psychologists and tries a variety of innovative therapies. She returns to her hometown of San Jose, California, to investigate the effects of immigrant trauma on the community, and she uncovers family secrets in the country of her birth, Malaysia, to learn how trauma can be inherited through generations. Ultimately, she discovers that you don’t move on from trauma—but you can learn to move with it. Powerful, enlightening, and hopeful, What My Bones Know is a brave narrative that reckons with the hold of the past over the present, the mind over the body—and examines one woman’s ability to reclaim agency from her trauma.
Author: Gabor Maté, MD Publisher: Penguin ISBN: 059308389X Category : Psychology Languages : en Pages : 560
Book Description
The instant New York Times bestseller By the acclaimed author of In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts, a groundbreaking investigation into the causes of illness, a bracing critique of how our society breeds disease, and a pathway to health and healing. In this revolutionary book, renowned physician Gabor Maté eloquently dissects how in Western countries that pride themselves on their healthcare systems, chronic illness and general ill health are on the rise. Nearly 70 percent of Americans are on at least one prescription drug; more than half take two. In Canada, every fifth person has high blood pressure. In Europe, hypertension is diagnosed in more than 30 percent of the population. And everywhere, adolescent mental illness is on the rise. So what is really “normal” when it comes to health? Over four decades of clinical experience, Maté has come to recognize the prevailing understanding of “normal” as false, neglecting the roles that trauma and stress, and the pressures of modern-day living, exert on our bodies and our minds at the expense of good health. For all our expertise and technological sophistication, Western medicine often fails to treat the whole person, ignoring how today’s culture stresses the body, burdens the immune system, and undermines emotional balance. Now Maté brings his perspective to the great untangling of common myths about what makes us sick, connects the dots between the maladies of individuals and the declining soundness of society—and offers a compassionate guide for health and healing. Cowritten with his son Daniel, The Myth Of Normal is Maté’s most ambitious and urgent book yet.

Author: Dr. Epstein Publisher: Hay House, Inc ISBN: 1781804567 Category : Philosophy Languages : en Pages : 266
Book Description
Trauma does not just happen to a few unlucky people; it is the bedrock of our psychology. Death and illness touch us all, but even the everyday sufferings of loneliness and fear are traumatic. In The Trauma of Everyday Life renowned psychiatrist and author of Thoughts Without a Thinker Mark Epstein uncovers the transformational potential of trauma, revealing how it can be used for the mind's own development. Epstein finds throughout that trauma, if it doesn't destroy us, wakes us up to both our minds' own capacity and to the suffering of others. It makes us more human, caring and wise. It can be our greatest teacher, our freedom itself, and it is available to all of us. Western psychology teaches that if we understand the cause of trauma, we might move past it while many drawn to Eastern practices see meditation as a means of rising above, or distancing themselves from, their most difficult emotions. Both, Epstein argues, fail to recognize that trauma is an indivisible part of life and can be used as a tool for growth and an ever deeper understanding of change. When we regard trauma with this perspective, understanding that suffering is universal and without logic, our pain connects us to the world on a more fundamental level. Guided by the Buddha's life as a profound example of the power of trauma, Epstein's also closely examines his own experience and that of his psychiatric patients to help us all understand that the way out of pain is through it.
Author: Judith Lewis Herman Publisher: Basic Books ISBN: 0465098738 Category : Psychology Languages : en Pages : 337
Book Description
In this groundbreaking book, a leading clinical psychiatrist redefines how we think about and treat victims of trauma. A "stunning achievement" that remains a "classic for our generation." (Bessel van der Kolk, M.D., author of The Body Keeps the Score). Trauma and Recovery is revered as the seminal text on understanding trauma survivors. By placing individual experience in a broader political frame, Harvard psychiatrist Judith Herman argues that psychological trauma is inseparable from its social and political context. Drawing on her own research on incest, as well as a vast literature on combat veterans and victims of political terror, she shows surprising parallels between private horrors like child abuse and public horrors like war. Hailed by the New York Times as "one of the most important psychiatry works to be published since Freud," Trauma and Recovery is essential reading for anyone who seeks to understand how we heal and are healed.
