Mental Trauma

The Four-Bed Method: A Garden for Rebuilding When Life Doesn’t Go Back to Normal is not a self-help book pretending to offer quick fixes or miraculous turnarounds. It’s a deeply lived, narratively precise exploration of how real healing—messy, cyclical, and unglamorous—can unfold in the act of tending a modest garden.

Each chapter functions as both a literal and metaphorical inquiry into how to live alongside ...

If you are an Asian American who has experienced racial violence, verbal harassment, stereotyping, or microaggressions, you might feel like the world is unsafe. You may suffer from anxiety, depression, or painful memories as a result of this trauma.

This book provides culturally informed treatment methods to help you heal from and fortify yourself against race-based trauma-including intergenerational and historical trauma-and stress.

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.

Those in uniform keep our world safe and often pay a high price for fulfilling their duty mentally and emotionally.

Min Green and Ed Slaterton are breaking up, so Min is writing Ed a letter and giving him a box. Inside the box is why they broke up. Two bottle caps, a movie ticket, a folded note, a box of matches, a protractor, books, a toy truck, a pair of ugly earrings, a comb from a motel room, and every other item collected over the course of a giddy, intimate, heartbreaking relationship. Item after item is illustrated and accounted for, and then the box, like a girlfriend, will be dumped.

If you're like many adults today, you've experienced some kind of loss of a loved one. Whether it was a parent, spouse, sibling, friend, or child, losing someone close hurts.

Let’s say that you are going through one of your daily life routines when out of nowhere you start getting a sudden feeling of panic. You start losing your breath. Strangers start getting close to you and show signs of worry. Your heart starts racing and you can’t think of what to do next. Then in a matter of moments you feel normal again. But you can’t just ignore that this just happened. You lay awake at night, terrified that this will happen again; seeing how it’s not the first time.
