A Journey to Becoming Your Own Best Friend, is a woman’s guide to getting out of her own way.

You are the only person that you will spend your entire life with.
So, why are you putting yourself last? Beating yourself up over silly things? And, in general, not looking after yourself personally, professionally, globally and spiritually?

We are all capable of thriving, but too many of us get stalled in survival mode, allowing perceived problems and limiting beliefs to run our subconscious mind and, consequently, our lives.

In her first book, Karen Chaston helps us understand our various survival patterns, the barriers we put in our own way, and why the power of positive thinking does not work for women.

She takes us on a journey to become OUR OWN BEST FRIENDS—a critical first step to succeeding in all aspects of life.

Women’s Self-Help – After His Affair Women Rising from the Ashes of Infidelity

After His AffairAfter His Affair
Women Rising from the Ashes of Infidelity
By Meryn Callander
Publisher: Akasha Publications
Published: November 2014
ISBN: 978-0962588242
ASIN: B00PIVTAJI
Genre: Self-Help, Women’s Issues
Formats Available For Review: print (limited quantities, only available to qualified reviewers/bloggers), pdf, kindle

Virtually every one of us has been, or will be, in some way touched by infidelity. Why is this happening? How can we make good of these experiences? The voices of other women who have travelled this road join the authors in this unique and intimate exploration of the many faces of infidelity.

Polls show that around 85% of people believe infidelity is wrong. More than 90% of married individuals do not approve of extramarital sex, and yet almost half admit to having had an affair. What drives this dichotomy between what we say we should do and what we do?

This book offers understanding and new perspectives. It is for women recovering from a current betrayal, and women carrying the remnants of past betrayals. It is for those wanting to protect their own relationships from infidelity, and those seeking to better understand and support others through this challenging time.

“A brave and searching book for the intelligent reader hungry for reflection, understanding and validation.”—Rachel Morris, psychotherapist to Cosmopolitan, UK

“Betrayal hurts, and the consequences are profound, deep and long-lasting. After His Affair is balanced with contemporary research, author insights, spiritual revelations, and messages of healing, strength, and empowerment. ”
-Kassia Wosick, PhD, Sex, Love, and Fidelity: A Study of Contemporary Romantic Relationships

Too many Baby Boomer women have given up on style, Smith believes. She is changing that one client at a time in her Tucson-based practice, but with this book she is making it possible for every woman to go from frumpy to fabulous. Readers learn how to shop the thrift stores and consignment shops and how to get garments that actually fit. Easy exercises at the end of each chapter enable readers to master one simple step at a time. Stories of actual clients show the possibilities on real women.

To the Survivors is a deeply-moving, empowering, and brutally honest book about one man’s journey as a rape crisis counselor combined with true stories of sexual violence shared by real survivors in their own words. Gently and beautifully constructed, To the Survivors is moving, tender, sharp, and piercingly true all at once. The reader will encounter uncensored written stories, poems, and interviews shared by women, men, and one transgendered person who have been raped and sexually assaulted. The impact of this work is far reaching – it is multi-cultural, multi-generational, and fully expansive in its ability to reach people’s hearts and minds around this critical human issue. Robert Uttaro believes anyone can benefit from the words in these pages; rape survivor or not.

Memoir – She’s Not Herself

Shes Not HerselfShe’s Not Herself
A psychotherapist’s journey into and beyond her mother’s mental illness
By Linda Appleman Shapiro
Publisher: Dream of Things
Published: September 2014
ISBN: 978-0988439078
ASIN: B00N9PY1CQ
Genre: Memoir
Formats Available For Review: pdf, mobi, epub, Kindle, Nook

On the surface, her childhood seemed normal—even idyllic. Linda grew up in the iconic immigrant community of Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, with her parents and a gifted older brother. But she spent her days at home alone with a mother who suffered major bouts of depression. At such times, young Linda was told, “Your mother…she’s not herself today.” Those words did little to help Linda understand what she was witnessing. Instead, she experienced the anxiety and hyper-vigilance that often take root when secrecy and shame surround a family member who is ill.

“She’s Not Herself” is a journey to make sense of the effects of multi-generational traumas. Shapiro is ultimately able to forgive (without forgetting) those who left her to fend for herself—and to provide readers with the wisdom of a seasoned psychotherapist who has examined human vulnerability in its many disguises and has moved through it all with dignity and hope. The result is a memoir of love, loss, loyalty, and healing.

“An honest and compelling story by a brave and gifted writer.” Wally Lamb, author of She’s Come Undone and I Know This Much Is True

“A revealing account of someone who grew up with a mentally ill parent and survived to become an effective, loving mother and a successful professional healer.” The U.S. Review of Books
