The #MeToo movement brought worldwide attention to sexual violence, but while the media focused on the fates of a few notorious predators who were put on trial, we heard far less about the outcomes of those trials for the survivors of their abuse. The conventional retributive process fails to serve most survivors; it was never designed for them. Renowned trauma expert Judith L. Herman argues that the first step toward a better form of justice is simply to ask survivors what would make things as right as possible for them.

The emotional trauma we suffer as children not only shapes our emotional lives as adults but also affects our physical health and overall well-being.

Do you ever feel guilty for being angry? Women and girls are often taught that we are overreacting, or just being too sensitive or unreasonable when anger arises. This bottled-up anger can then lead to inner criticism, self-doubt, resentment, emotional avoidance, and conflicts with others. In this much-needed guide, a clinical psychologist and somatic therapist reveals how anger creates stress in the body and mind, and offers powerful body-based, somatic practices and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques to help you let go of internalized anger.

The gap between what it's really like to be a woman and what people expect women to be is a primary cause of burnout, because we exhaust ourselves trying to close the space between the two. How can you 'love your body' when everything around you tells you you're inadequate? How do you 'lean in' at work when you're already giving 110 percent and aren't recognized for it? How can you live happily and healthily in a world that is constantly telling you you're too fat, too needy, too noisy and too selfish?

Although many of us prioritize our physical health through exercise and healthy eating, we often forget to spend time boosting our mind, mood, and mental health.

Using the incredible power of our minds, we can persist and grow in response to life's challenges.
