Abused: Surviving Sexual Assault and a Toxic Gymnastics Culture
by Rachel HainesTwo-year-old Rachel Haines didn’t know that she would be committing to twenty-one years of hard work, dedication, and perseverance as she jumped into the foam pit during her first “mommy and me” gymnastics class. She had no idea that one day she would become a two-time National Team Member, two-time National Champion, and a Division I college gymnast at the University of Minnesota. Nor could she have known that she had just signed herself up for serious injury, emotional distress, and continuous sexual assault by world-renowned trainer turned serial molester, Larry Nassar. In Abused: Surviving Sexual Assault and a Toxic Gymnastics Culture, Rachel details her experiences as a competitive gymnast and the painful realities of being one of Nassar’s many victims. With honesty and candidness, Rachel shares how the sport she loved that gave her so much—friendships, accomplishments, a college education—is also tangled in a dangerously toxic culture that needs to be fixed. In a world that was setting her up for a lifetime of recovery, she tells how faith, family, and an army of survivors made healing possible.
Abuso e espancamento: de vítima a vitoriosa
by Crystal Mary Lindsey Bianca Ferreira de OliveiraComo ela poderia viver? O medo constantemente a tomava! E ainda sim, como ela continuaria? Se sentia presa! Vivia em constante medo de fazer com que seu esposo ficasse com raiva. Uma garota inocente carente por atenção encontra um belo homem. Desejando que ele preenchesse o vazio de sua vida, ela está disposta a fazer de tudo por ele. Em sua inocência ela acredita que isso o fará ama-la. Seus sentimentos por ela são PODER e DESEJO, não AMOR! Este homem era um narcisista e para permanecer fiel a ele, ela constantemente sofre – traição completa – sendo usada e abusada. Um aborto aos dezesseis anos Um casamento com um homem que só se importa com ele Divergências culturais – medo e vergonha são usados para controla-la. Violência física: batidas, e espancamento nos primeiros sete anos. Controle mental: ele somente a olhava de certo modo e ela congelava. Confiança em si mesma e seu valor sumiram dando lugar a ansiedade e medo. Abuso espiritual: Nenhuma liberdade espiritual. Ela era perseguida e ridicularizada por sua crença em Deus. Ela testemunhou o abuso de seus filhos e quando tentava pará-lo, ele se virava a ela. Ela estava ciente da descrença de seu marido. Nesta história você ouvirá como uma garota solitária cai em uma rede onde parece não haver escape. Este era um tempo no qual problemas em casa não eram falados então ela não fazia ideia para onde correr. Ela também temia contar as autoridades por medo de punição. A sabedoria de Deus diz: “Não vos prendais a um jugo desigual com os infiéis; porque, que sociedade tem a justiça com a injustiça? E que comunhão tem a luz com as trevas?” (2 Coríntios 6:14). Passando por machucados e vergonha, a autora espera que escrevendo a sua história ajude a evitar que outros venham cair em situações semelhantes. Embora, hoje seja uma época diferente com mais educação e discussão, abusos ainda acontecem e as mulheres permanecem

Acabe com a fadiga crônica: obtenha de volta sua vida
by Lisa Gibson Rosana Vargas TradutoraReceber o diagnóstico de SFC pode ser devastador, isso porque há mais perguntas do que respostas sobre essa síndrome. Ela ainda é um mistério para a comunidade médica e por isso é chamada de síndrome. Por isso o diagnóstico é feito normalmente por processo de eliminação e pode até mesmo se tornar um termo geral para sua condição quando os profissionais da saúde não descobrem o que mais pode estar errado. Deste modo, infelizmente muitos podem passar anos ou a vida com esse diagnóstico misterioso enquanto os médicos não esgotarem todas as demais possibilidades. SFC é ainda um enigma para a comunidade da saúde e as pessoas que sofrem por essa condição podem ser percebidas pelos outros como preguiçosas, fracas ou hipocondríacas Quero parabenizá-lo por dar o primeiro passo para melhorar sua vida e realmente descobrir como lidar melhor com os sintomas da fadiga crônica. Entender a doença ou a enfermidade pode trazer novas esperanças e abordagens. Em desespero, gastei rios de dinheiro fora do meu orçamento tentando navegar em um oceano de tratamento de saúde e buscando desvendar as respostas. Isso pode ser muito caro e desgastante. Não desejo que passe por isso.

Acceptance: Create Change and Move Forward
by Padraig O'MorainAcceptance is about accepting the truth of a negative moment, without resistance. It is a foundation for transformation and a path to freedom.Anxiety, pain and illness, unpleasant encounters with people, low self-esteem, conditions such as long Covid-19 - these are issues that can become part of our lives without consuming our whole lives. Unhappiness and resentment can eat away at us when we ruminate and overthink a moment however big or small, but acceptance can give us our lives back even if it cannot give back something we have lost. This isn't an audiobook about dropping all negativity - it's about experiencing feelings such as anxiety, regret and anger and relating to them in a way that doesn't allow them to take over our lives. We can each go through a process where we no longer fight against the burdening knowledge that something has happened.As a psychotherapist, trained counsellor and mindfulness teacher with over 25 years' experience, Padraig O'Morain has created an 'acceptance toolbox' in his new book. Acceptance includes mindfulness practices, thoughts from practitioners of acceptance, ideas from CBT and more.(P) 2023 Hodder & Stoughton Limited

Access, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in Cultural Organizations: Insights from the Careers of Executive Opera Managers of Color in the US (Routledge Research in the Creative and Cultural Industries)
by Antonio C. CuylerAnalyzing the lack of diversity among opera executives, this book examines the careers of executive opera managers of color in the U.S. By interrogating the impact of race on arts managers’ careers, the author contemplates how opera might attract and retain more racially diverse arts managers to ensure its future.With a focus on the U.S., research is contextualized via qualitative data to explore, enhance, and institutionalize access, diversity, equity, and inclusion (ADEI) in the opera industry. In a revealing series of expert-conducted interviews, the author poses illuminating questions, such as: what if an inability to recruit and retain diverse executives is the primary source of opera’s challenges? if more racially diverse opera executives existed, would the art form persist in struggling to find its place in contemporary society? from where will the next generation of diverse opera managers emerge? As the magnitude of the global diversity problem grows within the creative and cultural industries, this book serves as a guide for Arts Management practitioners and students who may view their class, different ability, ethnicity, gender, race, or sexual orientation as a liability in their pursuit of executive careers.
