Secondary Traumatic Stress: Self-Care Issues for Clinicians, Researchers, and Educators

Friday, July 31st, 2009

As our knowledge of traumatic stress grows, so too does our awareness of the high cost of caring. Beginning with the assumption that caring for people who have experienced highly stressful events puts the caregiver at risk for developing similar stress-related symptoms, this book brings together some of the best thinkers in the trauma field to write about the prevention and treatment of Secondary Traumatic Stress. This “cutting edge” material not only reflects the current state of knowledge about secondary traumatization, but in a personal way explores our ethical obligations to each other, to our communities, and to future trauma research. Revised, expanded edition includes a new preface and introduction, a revised chapter on telehealth, a new chapter on moderating secondary traumatic stress through administrative and policy action, an extensive bibliography, and a new index!

Blah, Blah, Blah…: Changing Your Negative Self-Talk

Thursday, July 30th, 2009

We all talk to ourselves throughout the day, although we may not always be aware of our self-talk or what we are actually saying. These thoughts influence our feelings and perceptions about what’s going on in our lives. They determine what we notice in the world and what we attract into our lives.

By expecting the negative, we filter our experiences and interpret events in a way that meets these expectations. We see only the negative side of each situation. We pay more attention to the negative comments from others, to the decisions we made that weren’t the best and to the plans that didn’t work out.

By focusing on the positive, we will notice the opportunities that come from change, acknowledge our personal successes and notice more of the beauty and joy in our lives.

Our negative self-talk can stop us from taking risks, making choices, expressing our feelings or working toward our goals. It affects the amount of stress we experience and how we behave in relationships.

In this book I suggest practical information and techniques to help you change your negative self-talk to positive self-talk and create a happier life. These include:

- what self-talk is and how it impacts our lives.

- the relationship between self-talk and self-esteem, stress management, addictions, assertivenes skills and communication with others.

- how our self-talk develops, both overtly and covertly.

- common forms of negative self-talk and how simply changing the words you use can change your life.

- an easy to follow six-step model to help change your negative self-talk to positive.

- a selection of ideas to help increase the power of the positive in your life and keep your positive energy flowing.
