Already Enough
"When Lisa Olivera was just a few hours old, she was abandoned behind a rock near Muir Woods in Northern California. She was found by a man and a woman who were out bird watching with their toddler. Two days later, she was adopted. Growing up, she knew she was adopted. She later discovered she was abandoned. She often wondered about her birth mother, and why her birth mother abandoned her in the woods. Without any answers, Lisa came up with her own: she was not enough as she was. This story wasn't true, but it made sense of a confusing experience. It allowed her to move forward-it felt like the only way. If you, like Lisa, have ever felt like you weren't lovable, or you didn't belong, or lik...
Summary of Lisa Olivera's Already Enough
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I was abandoned as a baby, and was found by a couple who were out bird-watching with their toddler. I was taken home and raised by my adoptive parents, who knew I was adopted. I spent years wondering about my birth family and why they had abandoned me. #2 I had never put words to my feelings, but sharing my story with a therapist allowed me to understand them. I had always felt like I wasn’t enough, and this led me to explore the meaning of that belief. #3 Healing is a process, not a one-time-only experience. It is not linear, and it doesn’t mean forgetting or erasing the past. It means integrating the painful pieces of our story so we can become more whole. #4 We all want to feel loved, accepted, and belong. We all want to feel enough, just as we are. It might be time for you to tell yourself a new story that reflects your true self.

The Boundaried Therapist
Set boundaries to sustain yourself and your counselling practice Setting healthy boundaries. It’s a central theme in many counselling sessions, yet something that therapists often struggle to do for themselves. In a profession that is motivated by a desire to help others and relieve suffering, the pressure is always there for therapists to put others’ needs before their own. For registered psychologist Nicole Perry, the conversation around therapists’ own needs is conspicuously missing. When these needs are not addressed, therapists are left vulnerable to potential career- and life-altering outcomes like burnout and vicarious trauma. It’s time to think about boundaries that contemplate the therapist in a wholistic way, addressing not only their professional responsibilities, but their limits, needs, and values. Taking a somatic and feminist approach, Nicole leads readers down a self-reflective path to practical boundaries that nurture them as people first, therapists second: boundaries that are essential for building and sustaining a long and vibrant career in counselling.
Belonging
2018 Readers' Favorite Gold Winner 2019 IAN Book of the Year Award 2017 Nautilus Award Gold Winner Feel like you don’t belong? You’re not alone.The world has never been more connected, yet people are lonelier than ever. Whether we feel unworthy, alienated, or anxious about our place in the world — the absence of belonging is the great silent wound of our times. Most people think of belonging as a mythical place, and they spend a lifetime searching for it in vain. But what if belonging isn’t a place at all? What if it’s a skill that has been lost or forgotten? With her signature depth and eloquence, Toko-pa maps a path to Belonging from the inside out. Drawing on myth, stories and dreams, she takes us into the origins of our estrangement, reframing exile as a necessary initiation into authenticity. Then she shares the competencies of belonging: a set of ancestral practices to heal our wounds and restore true belonging to our lives and to the world.
Applying Restorative Justice to Campus Sexual Misconduct
While sexual misconduct on our college and university campuses, both public and private, is dismayingly widespread, it continues to be significantly underreported because most victims perceive that judicial recourse, with its legalistic adversarial approach, fails to address--in a healing way--the harms done to them. Fewer still file formal complaints, many for fear that they may lose agency and that the process may rekindle the trauma of their experience.Recognizing the reality that supermajority of sexual harms in higher education are rarely addressed through established legalistic practices, this book offers a range of alternative approaches based on restorative justice.Starting from the ...
Trauma-Sensitive Mindfulness: Practices for Safe and Transformative Healing
"[A] rare combination of solid scholarship, clinically useful methods, and passionate advocacy for those who have suffered trauma." —Rick Hanson, PhD, author of Buddha's Brain: The Practical Neuroscience of Happiness, Love, and Wisdom From elementary schools to psychotherapy offices, mindfulness meditation is an increasingly mainstream practice. At the same time, trauma remains a fact of life: the majority of us will experience a traumatic event in our lifetime, and up to 20% of us will develop posttraumatic stress. This means that anywhere mindfulness is being practiced, someone in the room is likely to be struggling with trauma. At first glance, this appears to be a good thing: trauma cr...
