The Universe Speaks a Heavenly Dialogue, Book Two: The Dialogue Continues
by Kimberly Colleen KleinIn December 2007, author Kimberly Klein&’s daughter, thirteen-year old Talia, died when the small private plane she was on with her father and her best friend crashed into the side of a volcano in Panama. Before the accident Kim did not believe in afterlife or anything spiritual. But her entire belief system about death and the workings of the spiritual world was shattered when, after her death, Talia reached out to her mom, physically touching her as well as talking to those that she knew would get her messages to her mom.One of those people was &“G.&” We first met G in Book I of The Universe Speaks: A Heavenly Dialogue. Through his ability to communicate with Talia, she was able to share her messages from heaven—messages that opened non-believers to an entire new belief system and clarified understanding for those that already believed. We learned that there is, in fact, an afterlife—and there is NO death. That we are all capable of communicating with the spirits; it is our birthright. We learned to live authentically—according to our hearts, not according to what others in our lives or society in general want us to live like or be like. And we learned that heaven is real. In The Universe Speaks A Heavenly Dialogue, Book II, Talia takes us deeper into the workings of the spiritual and teaches us the how-to&’s for living up to our birthright: our right and ability to be in relationship with our true selves, with the Universe, and with our God.Talia&’s words don&’t just make us wonder, they actually address our questions. Questions like: Where is God? How do we become One? What is Oneness? The Universe Speaks: A Heavenly Dialogue, Book II answers these and many other questions about life—on earth and in other dimensions.It is the answer to what so many of us have been searching for.

The Unravelling: How our caregiving safety net came unstrung and we were left grasping at threads, struggling to plait a new one
by Clem Martini Olivier MartiniIn the follow-up to their award-winning memoir Bitter Medicine, brothers Clem and Olivier Martini continue the story of their family’s journey through mental illness, dementia, caregiving, and the health care system. Olivier Martini and his mother, Catherine, have lived together since he was diagnosed with schizophrenia thirty-six years ago. It hasn’t always been a perfect living situation, but it’s worked — Catherine has helped Olivier through the ups and downs of living with a mental illness, and Olivier has cared for his aging mother as her mobility becomes limited, and Olivier’s brothers Clem and Nic have provided support to both as well. But then Olivier experiences a health crisis at the exact same time that his mother starts slipping into dementia. The Martini family’s lifelong struggle with mental illness is suddenly complicated immeasurably as they begin to navigate the convoluted world of assisted living and long-term care. With anger, dry humour, and hope, The Unravelling tells the story of one family’s journey with mental illness, dementia, and caregiving, through a poignant graphic narrative from Olivier accompanied by text from his brother, award-winning playwright and novelist Clem Martini.
The Unsayable: The Hidden Language Of Trauma
by Annie G. RogersIn her twenty years as a clinical psychologist, Annie Rogers has learned to understand the silent language of girls who will not–who cannot–speak about devastating sexual trauma. Abuse too painful to put into words does have a language, though, a language of coded signs and symptoms that conventional therapy fails to understand. In this luminous, deeply moving book, Rogers reveals how she has helped many girls find expression and healing for the sexual trauma that has shattered their childhoods. Rogers opens with a harrowing account of her own emotional collapse in childhood and goes on to illustrate its significance to how she hears and understands trauma in her clinical work. Years after her breakdown, when she discovered the brilliant work of French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan, Rogers at last had the key she needed to unlock the secrets of the unsayable. With Lacan’s theory of language and its layered associations as her guide, Rogers was able to make startling connections with seemingly unreachable girls who had lost years of childhood, who had endured the unspeakable in silence. At the heart of the book is the searing portrait of the girl Rogers calls Ellen, brutally abused for three years by her teenage male babysitter. Over the course of seven years of therapy, Rogers helped Ellen find words for the terrible things that had happened to her, face up to the unconscious patterns through which she replayed the trauma, and learn to live beyond the shadows of the past. Through Ellen’s story, Rogers illuminates the complex, intimate unraveling of trauma between therapist and child, as painful truths and their consequences come to light in unexpected ways. Like Judith Herman’s Trauma and Recovery and Kay Redfield Jamison’s An Unquiet Mind,The Unsayable is a book with the power to change the way we think about suffering and self-expression. For those who have experienced psychological trauma, and for those who yearn to help, this brave, compelling book will be a touchstone of lucid understanding and true healing.

The Unseen Things: Women, Secrecy, and HIV in Northern Nigeria
by Kathryn A. RhineWhat do HIV-positive women in Nigeria face as they seek meaningful lives with a deeply discrediting disease? Kathryn A. Rhine uncovers the skillful ways women defuse concerns about their wellbeing and the ability to maintain their households. Rhine shows how this ethic of concealment involves masking their diagnosis, unfaithful husbands, and unsupportive families while displaying their beauty, generosity, and vitality. As Rhine observes, collusion with counselors and support group leaders to deflect stigma, secure respectability, and find love features prominently in the lives of ordinary women who hope for a brighter future as the HIV epidemic continues to expand.

The Untapped Self: Ten stories of transformation to shift your mind and awaken your potential
by Gerad Kite James Eden'This book is so good! Brilliantly written, enlightening and deeply compelling. The Untapped Self is a fascinating read on the subject of healing.' - DOLLY ALDERTON'I loved this book - funny, fascinating and scarcely believable if I hadn't experienced such a dramatic boost in my own heath from Gerad's treatments.' - RUPERT EVERETTAt the age of twenty-seven, Gerad suffered a life-altering breakdown. When conventional treatments failed to help, he sought an alternative solution and immersed himself in the teachings of ancient Chinese philosophy and acupuncture. According to this system of medicine, we are all made up of the five elements of Nature (wood, fire, earth, metal, water). When they are in balance, we thrive; when they are not, chaos ensues. Sceptical at first, but desperate to feel well, Gerad took a leap of faith - one that was to open his eyes to a new way of being. In this remarkable book, Gerad, now a master in Five Element acupuncture, recounts the stories of ten patients who, like him, were searching for a way to heal themselves. Allowing us to sit in on their therapy sessions, he explores their extraordinarily varied and complex life experiences, and challenges all our modern assumptions about what it takes to find happiness and fulfilment. These fascinating case studies explain the very essence of what is to be human - loves and losses, struggles and triumphs - and offer a transformative path to healing and renewal. "A human and humorous insight into the magic of acupuncture. Gerad is the most incredible practitioner, and Five-Element Acupuncture has been a healing force through difficult times in my life, and continues to help me thrive both personally and professionally." - MELANIE CHISHOLM (MEL C)
