**As featured in Publishers Weekly with A+ rating** "Clinical professionals will appreciate the boots-on-the-ground analysis of treatment options, while more casual readers will welcome the empowering messages, like the recommendations to "let go of the belief that perfection equals happiness" and to open up to significant others about their roles in the healing process. The overarching insight that trauma recovery must be individualized, with no set timetable for healing, pairs nicely with Demarco's goal to help readers "reclaim control" over their thoughts. The end result is as informative as well as inspiring." Book Description: Why are symptoms of panic attacks, anxieties, PTSD, and depression so tightly bound to trauma? Why does the traumatic memory feel so real, like it just happened? How do you regain control of your life and release the pain to feel symptom-free? Are you tired of being a slave to your emotions and triggered? Within this book, you will discover hope in regaining control of your emotions so that memories only serve as reflections of the past and no longer cause you pain. Discover how to ease yourself out of depression and release anxieties by rewiring your high-alert trauma brain. Brain chemistry changes from high cortisol levels, and science shows are directly connected to symptoms. By rewiring your brain, you bring yourself out from being associated with the memory and into the present moment, the now. You will be able to take your view out from the rear-view mirror behind you and onto the road ahead. You deserve better. Julian is a survivor of child sexual abuse and adult domestic violence and was diagnosed with complex PTSD, depression, and anxiety. Living in fear and a slave to her symptoms robbed her of being truly happy. She found NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) therapy that dramatically changed her outlook on life. This type of therapy assisted in releasing the painful memories by changing the emotional aspects of the memories from associated (feeling as if just happened) to dissociated (like watching a movie). By cognitive restructuring and changing the scene it changed the feeling response to the memory. It overcame her 40 plus years of trauma symptoms, and having a deep desire to assist others led to becoming a certified NLP Practitioner. No one should have to suffer when there’s hope. Not all people will respond to the techniques shared in this book, just as not all types of therapies are 100% effective. Understanding Childhood Trauma & How To Let Go is written from a survivor’s view of some of life’s cruelties as well as a practitioner on how to let go and find your joy again. Being a survivor also means Julian truly understands how hopeless you may feel because she has lived it. Most clinicians can’t wholly understand the tribulation from symptoms that overshadows life and only see it from a sterile clinical perspective. Julian conveys compassion with empathy for what you’ve endured in your life. You’re a survivor. Narrowed down are 11 techniques written in detail that, based on studies, were found to be most successful. This introduction to NLP is written in an easy-to-understand language and mindful not to trigger the reader with details of her traumas. This is the must-have book to ease you through your painful past and to assist you in becoming truly free. You deserve to be happy and take back control of your life.

How to release anger and reconnect to yourself using mindfulness techniques. Anger is one the most common human emotions, so if you’re not feeling it, then you’re probably unconsciously burying it. But anger that is buried isn’t actually gone. In fact, hidden or covert anger may be just as damaging as the overt, outwardly destructive kind, only it wreaks havoc from the inside-out. All sorts of physical and emotional problems can stem from suppressed anger: headaches, digestive problems, insomnia, just to name a few. Buried anger is expressed in a continuum, with rage and aggression at the top, and frustration, annoyance, irritation at the bottom, and everything in between. Unless this anger is addressed, it is impossible to overcome. This book urges readers to practice mindfulness-deliberately allowing physical sensations and emotions to surface so they can be examined and released. This sort of processing of anger-fully felt in the body as it happens, moved out through appropriate expression, and let go-will allow readers to process anger before it becomes unhealthy. Whether for you or your clients, this book offers simple tools of mindfulness to strengthen your connection with your inner world and learn to explore your anger, paying heed to the important messages it is sending.

In this powerful book, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Reclaiming Virtue shows how we can learn to nurture our inner child and offer ourselves the good parenting we needed and longed for.

If any of this sounds familiar, you may be experiencing the hidden but damaging effects of a painful childhood—carrying within you a “wounded inner child” who is crying out for attention and healing. John Bradshaw’s step-by-step process of exploring the unfinished business of each developmental stage helps us break away from destructive family rules and roles, freeing ourselves to live responsibly in the present. Then, says Bradshaw, the healed inner child becomes a source of vitality, inviting us to find new joy and energy in living. Homecoming includes a wealth of unique case histories and interactive techniques, including questionnaires, guided meditations, affirmations, and letter-writing to the inner child. These classic therapies, which were pioneering when introduced, continue to be validated by new discoveries in attachment research and neuroscience. No one has ever brought them to a popular audience more effectively and inspiringly than John Bradshaw.
