Her promise: You can break free of past patterns that no longer serve you and liberate your soul from old traumas and wounds.Everyone has baggage.

Perfect Is Boring (And It Tastes Like Kale): Finding Belonging and Purpose Without Changing Who You Are
by Jess JohnstonWhat if we accepted our struggles and stopped trying to be someone we&’re not? In this poignant, hilarious book, the bestselling co-author of I&’ll Be There (But I&’ll Be Wearing Sweatpants) shares her experiments in finding our way back to each other.Jess Johnston used to feel alone in her mess. Then, in a random burst of courage, she started sharing those insecurities and struggles out loud, and what she found shocked her. Again and again, women replied, &“Me too! I thought I was the only one!&”Women are really hard on themselves. We often believe that if we just &“did better,&” &“worked harder,&” and &“were less messy/flawed/human,&” our lives would be infinitely better and we&’d receive the belonging we crave, but the exact opposite is true. It isn&’t our lack of perfection that isolates us; rather, it&’s our authenticity about our imperfections that brings us together. With honesty, heart, and humor, Johnston takes on the lies she&’s believed and the lessons she&’s learned (and is still learning), including:• if I&’m rejected, I will die. (We won&’t.)• I&’m a junior varsity adult, and the best spot for me is usually the bench. (Nope, we&’ve got to get in there and play.)• my job is to keep people happy and make sure they like me. (Excuse me while I go hide in my closet and have an anxiety attack.)Jess Johnston reminds us that the answers are in us already, in accepting that we&’re a lot—a lot of mess, and a lot of great too.

Uncertainty: We are confronted with situations beyond our training or capabilities, creating a sense of fear. Acceptance: Accept the consequences, embrace the reality of the situation, and surrender what we cannot control. Choice: Choose to become our creeds, values, and ethos and become the person your team and the situation call for. Growth: We will be changed on the other side, becoming better, wiser, and more confident leaders ready for the next big challenge. Discover a framework that has helped real organizations, including ThermoFisher Scientific, Siemens, GEICO, Ziggi's Coffee, SDA Colorado, Frontline Construction, Public Trust Advisors, and many more, learn to lead through adversity and win.

Practical Applications of Transforming the Attachment Relationship to God: Using Attachment-Informed Psychotherapy
by Geoff GoodmanPractical Applications of Transforming the Attachment Relationship to God discusses four distinct attachment relationships to the God of personal spiritual experience and considers how each of these relationships has implications for working with clients in psychotherapy.Geoff Goodman uses Attachment-Informed Psychotherapy (AIP) to explore the connection between a relationship to God and a relationship to caregivers during childhood. By analyzing the attachment relationships evident in the lives of four public figures—human rights activist Coretta Scott King, Jewish Holocaust victim Anne Frank, Alcoholics Anonymous co-founder Bill W., and founder of psychoanalysis Sigmund Freud—this book demonstrates how their attachment relationships with their caregivers during childhood helped to determine the quality of their attachment relationship (or nonrelationship) to God in later life. Goodman demonstrates how to use AIP to work with these attachment relationships, formulating a psychotherapeutic treatment plan for each one with the goal of restoring wholeness and unity.This book will be a valuable resource for psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, and marriage and family therapists in practice and in training.
