Highlighted Book Review

"I would definitely recommend this book to judges, prosecutors, lawyers and police officers because their work rarely results [in a ] happy ending, usually it is not rewarding and they do not get enough compensation for long hours dedicated to common welfare. All that can lead to frustration and in the end you are not capable of functioning properly so it is very important to identify the problem before it hits you and with the help of this book you can deal with it. The book showed me again that only a happy healthy individual is in position to help those less fortunate and asking for help should not be a shame."

Vicarious Trauma: A book for helping professionals dealing with burn-out, compassion fatigue and other symptomsSECOND-HAND SHOCK: SURVIVING & OVERCOMING VICARIOUS TRAUMA

includes AFTERSHOCK workbook

Authors:
Ellie Izzo, PhD, LPC
Vicki Carpel Miller, BSN, MS, LMFT



      Price: $19.95

Helping professionals can suffer from burn-out and compassion fatigue from the nature of their work, but that may be only the tip of the iceberg. What about those in the silent grip of unexplained and debilitating problems like depression, obesity, immune disorders, addiction, or anxiety? It could be vicarious trauma. Every time you interact with those you help, you are putting yourself at risk for it; particularly if you experienced childhood trauma. The authors explore the subtle and covert way that absorbing others’ trauma while controlling empathy gradually alters the structure of the brain, negatively affects the mind and can ultimately desensitize, numb and cause these disturbances.

This book offers acknowledgment and hope to the millions of helping professionals through a method of recovery called The Rapid Advance Process created and used by the authors with their own clients. Once you recognize the warning signs and symptoms of vicarious trauma, you will find relief as you work through the AFTERSHOCK Workbook included in the second half of the book.


The Bridge to I Am:
Rapid Advance Psychotherapy

author:
Ellie Izzo, PhD, LPC


  Price: $14.95

Many of us are so caught up in the minutia of stressful living that we don't bother to take charge of our inner well-being. As a result, we suffer. With fear and hatred invading our daily lives in many dimensions, it's more important now than ever to create spiritual alliances that are healing and empowering. Dr. Ellie Izzo shows us how.

A celebrated psychotherapist for more than thirty years, Dr. Izzo shares her powerful approach for moving through fear, judgment, and divisive thinking. She takes the reader past anxiousness and loneliness, to a life brimming with vibrant relationships, creativity, courage, and contentment.

Based on recent findings in neuroscience and diverse spiritual teachings, Dr. Izzo's dynamic Rapid Advance Psychotherapy is an enlightening, practical five-step wellness model for tapping into the radiant Spiritual Self, the Higher Mind, the I Am. It includes:

  • Revealing the history
  • Recognizing the impasse
  • Releasing the past
  • Responding to fear
  • Reconnecting to the spirit

The Bridge to I Am guides you through the process of building a "Spiritual Bridge". This bridge enables us to connect the truth that we know in our heads to with the belief and values in our hearts. With Dr. Izzo as our coach, we can live healthy, loving lives

detached from the painful past, unperturbed about tomorrow, and peacefully centered in the present.
