Book Description
This book expands on the idea of transformation after trauma through the concept of Resonance. Resonance is presented as the key to posttraumatic growth and transformation and provides practical guidance for accessing it. Resonance is defined as a moment of awakening, through personal stories, that creates an opportunity for transformational learning. This book presents an integrative, holistic and narrative development understanding to individual, organizational and social systems change and transformation after trauma. It proposes a Trauma-Informed Narrative Development Pathway for consideration at all levels of systems and institutions who support people post-trauma. Resonance is critical, timely, and relevant now more than ever. As we continue to work for a world of social justice where preventable sufferings are no longer normalized, a posttraumatic transformation lens allows us to take a developmental perspective to supporting ourselves and those among us touched by trauma to achieve transformational outcomes. In a world with ongoing suffering, the ability to return to core identity memories and access greater connection and love for humanity unleashes the desire to take actions to create a better world for all.

Book Description
A world-recognized authority and acclaimed mind-body medicine pioneer presents the first evidence-based program to reverse the psychological and biological damage caused by trauma. Filled with practical tools to alleviate stress, anxiety, fear, and sleeplessness. In his role as the founder and executive director of The Center for Mind-Body Medicine (CMBM), Dr. Gordon has created and implemented what may well be the world’s largest and most effective program for healing population-wide psychological trauma. He and 130 international faculty have brought this program to populations as diverse as refugees from wars in the Balkans, the Middle East, and Africa; firefighters and U.S. military personnel and their families; student/parent/teacher school shooting survivors; and Native American children – as well as stressed out professionals, stay-at-home mothers, inner-city children, and people struggling with mental and physical disorders and end of life challenges. Dr. Gordon’s work is grounded in scientific evidence and timeless wisdom. Through his decades of first-hand experience, he understands that trauma will come to all of us sooner or later. That each of us has the capacity to understand and heal ourselves. And that the heartbreaking devastation that trauma causes can also open our hearts and minds to deeper understanding, enhanced meaning and purpose, and greater love. In the compassionate, compelling pages of The Transformation, he invites us on a step-by-step, evidence-based journey to heal the psychological and biological damage that trauma brings and to become the people whom we are meant to be.

Book Description
That personal growth often occurs in people who have experienced traumatic events is an acknowledged but under-researched phenomenon. This book fills the gap: the authors use a cognitive framework to explore this finding, focusing upon changes in belief systems reported by trauma survivors. Tedeschi and Calhoun weave together literature from fields as diverse as philosophy, religion and psychology, and incorporate major research findings into the effect of trauma. With case examples from the authors' research and clinical work, information is presented in a manner accessible to clinicians. In addition, one chapter is written specifically for trauma survivors.

Book Description
Self-awareness, self-care, and self-respect are necessary qualities we must develop in order to be fully actualized and confident in who we are and what we want to achieve. One day, we may have this package intact. Another day, life simultaneously produces barriers and challenges, missteps and missed opportunities, illness and ill partners, love and loss. Decisions can be fatal-not signaling our last breath but our last shred of dignity, security, strength, sanity in some cases. Death by internal self-destruction only begins to show mercy when we have left that abusive relationship or job, stopped turning to food, drugs, and shopping carts to soothe us, and stared the culprit in the face with the determination to fully overcome. And start over. Such is the case of Dr. Danielle DonDiego. She was a rising doctor in family medicine, whose fitness training endeavors gave her the physical strength and confidence to master her professional priorities. But beauty and brawn could do nothing to thwart the dangers of loving the enemy, a narcissist. The gravity of being involved with a narcissist, however, is only captured through tumbling down the stages of this highly menacing relationship. And as Danielle reminds us, domestic abuse is as common in white-collar-wearing couples as it is in the blue-collar world. She wants to ensure that every reader can spot the earliest signs of an abusive predator-partner, leave before their sanity is disrupted, and live a rich life that is sealed from entering another toxic relationship pattern. In Self-Care Rx: A Doctor's Guide to Transformation After Trauma, she steadily and compassionately achieves this with the help of narcissism expert, Weatherly Camacho, LPC, and yoga and meditation icon Diana Guy, who shares her own self-care journey. If you've wanted to learn about a multitude of themes that may be present in your life-codependency, violence, OCD, narcissism, PTSD, addiction-and how to get back on the road to healing and fulfillment, Self-Care Rx is your promise for a better future. Danielle DonDiego, DO, MBA is a doctor, athlete, survivor, and self-care advocate. Board Certified in both Family Medicine and Obesity Medicine, she works with professional clients to evaluate and implement self-care practices so they can show up their best in life. She also works with patients via telemedicine with SteadyMD.com to educate and treat various chronic medical conditions. Self-Care Rx is her debut as an author.
