![]() ![]() ![]() This book also contains an overview of the tasks of recovering and a great many practical tools and techniques for recovering from childhood trauma. ![]() This book is also for those who do not have Cptsd but want to understand and help a loved one who does. It is copiously illustrated with examples of my own and my clients' journeys of recovering. This book is a practical, user-friendly self-help guide to recovering from the lingering effects of childhood trauma, and to achieving a rich and fulfilling life. If you felt unwanted, unliked, rejected, hated and/or despised for a lengthy portion of your childhood, trauma may be deeply engrained in your mind, soul and body. Many survivors grow up in houses that are not homes - in families that are as loveless as orphanages and sometimes as dangerous. I can see now that I am not bad, defective or crazy.or alone! The causes of Cptsd range from severe neglect to monstrous abuse. ![]() An often echoed comment sounded like this: At last someone gets it. I felt encouraged to write this book because of thousands of e-mail responses to the articles on my website that repeatedly expressed gratitude for the helpfulness of my work. I also wrote it from the viewpoint of someone who has discovered many silver linings in the long, windy, bumpy road of recovering from Cptsd. I have Complex PTSD and wrote this book from the perspective of someone who has experienced a great reduction of symptoms over the years. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() Contrary to the legends of the Old Testament, the history of Palestine had multiple “beginnings” that evolved over time into a distinct geopolitical area and an epicenter of regional politics. The author asserts, based on archaeological evidence, that Palestinians are native to the land, their history is deeply rooted in its soil, and their authentic identity preceded the birth of the Palestinian national movement which emerged in the late Ottoman era and the settlement of Zionist colonies before the First World War. There is a special thrill in leafing through a book’s index and finding Buzz Aldrin’s name followed by that of Alexander the Great, an unlikely juxtaposition that hints at the breadth of this book. Starting with the earliest references in Egyptian and Assyrian texts, Nour Masalha explores how Palestine and its Palestinian identity have evolved over thousands of years, from the Bronze age to the present day. ![]() ![]() This rich and magisterial work traces the history of Palestine, uncovering cultures and societies of astounding depth and complexity that stretch back to the very beginnings of recorded history.

Then a summons back to Valdor–the vampire world–is dropped in her lap.Turns out that the last time she was there, her teeny tiny mistake sent out an energy burst that called to an ancient powerful master. ![]() She’d been there, done that, and had the near death experience to show for her time.
