Growing Yourself Back Up: Understanding Emotional Regression
by John LeeSomeone pushes your buttons . . . you feel rage . . . fear . . . sweaty palms . . . unbidden tears . . . you feel like a kid . . . We've all experienced moments when we lose control of a situation and ourselves. Now, inGrowing Yourself Back Up, the first book to explain the idea of emotional regression to the general reader, bestselling author John Lee identifies the circumstances that cause these seemingly uncontrollable feelings and shows how they are directly tied to our experience as children. No adult, explains Lee, need ever experience the helpless feelings of childhood again. Here are his proven methods and visualization exercises, developed in his popular workshops, for recognizing, preventing, and diffusing regression in ourselves and others. He teaches, for example, that adults cannot be abandoned, they can only be left; if we're feeling abandoned we're regressing. He also reminds us that no matter how overwhelmed we are, adults always have options; if we believe we don't, we're in a regression. Growing Yourself Back Up will show you how to: * develop strong emotional boundaries and convey them to others * learn the Detour Method that reverses regression * confront without regressing * communicate with the authority figures who push your buttons * minimize regression at family functions Lee offers hope--as well as practical strategies that work--for conquering those childlike feelings of powerlessness that are almost always rooted in regression.

Growing in Patience
by Lisa O EngelhardtMany of us are impatient; the responsibilities and hardships of life seem to try our patience at every turn. And sometimes, it’s the little things that make us snap.

Guardianes del alma: Animales que nos rescatan
by María Victoria GaiardelliConmovedoras historias que revelan por qué son nuestras mascotas las que nos eligen a nosotros para sanar nuestra alma, y no nosotros a ellas, como muchas veces creemos. Todos alguna vez escuchamos historias de personas que dedican su vida a rescatar animales de la calle y del abandono. Pero ¿somos nosotros los que los salvamos, o en realidad son ellos los que vienen a rescatarnos de mil modos? En este libro, María Victoria Gaiardelli recopila una serie de relatos protagonizados por animales que eligieron a seres humanos para sanarlos y cambiarles la vida y se convirtieron en sus guardianes del alma para siempre. El gato adoptado que salvó de la muerte por asfixia a toda una familia, el perro que alertó a una joven sobre la inminente detonación de una bomba, la perra que revirtió los signos vitales de una niña minutos antes de que fuera sometida a una intervención quirúrgica y el caballo que liberó a su dueña del abismo de los ataques de pánico son algunas de esas historias de esperanza y oportunidad. Advertencia: si al leerlas se emocionan, es porque un alma animal se está apoderando de su alma humana. Y es lo mejor que podría pasarles.
