<p>The Anti-Cookbook inverts the idea that cooking is simply about following a recipe. A “cookbook” method of completing a task implies a mundane, thoughtless process. This book seeks to do the opposite — to inspire readers to think creatively about making meals and independently about the deeper issues surrounding food and nourishment. We want readers to see the sweetness of committing to themselves, to locally sourced ingredients and wholesome recipes, to sitting down to a homemade meal instead of dialing one up or paying someone else to cut the broccoli. If you have found yourself too often eating out of a bag or ordering up take-out, indulge yourself with our food-positive philosophy. Cook better, eat right, be well.</p>

Nina must heal her own inner child so she can provide for another. Hannah needs to release a ghost in order to recover her spirit.

<p><strong>Square the Circle: Art Therapy Workbook</strong> features easy-to-use mandala coloring sheets and activities. Drawing on fifteen years of experience, Rebecca Bloom has brought together the very best of the art directives she created to help Adults, Teens and Children address Anxiety, Depression and PTSD. For many people it is difficult to formulate their problems with words, this book will show you how image making allows more of the story to come out, by letting go of focusing only on verbal processing. Much of the current Neuroscience research shows us that trauma is often experienced and stored in the body. These exercises are specifically designed to safely allow the body to tell its story. By taking time to fill in the heart image, we get to know ourselves from the inside out, instead of letting the outside world constrain what our experience is. There is no right or wrong answer, the creative process allows for tremendous complexity.<br><br> No art experience in necessary to use this book. Using the eight limbs of yoga as a guide, there are two important principals that creativity can help you explore. The first is to practice non-violence toward yourself - Ahimsa. In art therapy, the concept of process over product is often talked about. When art is made to sell, the product is the most important thing, but when art is made for personal exploration, and self-discovery, the process is what counts. The final images don’t need to be pretty or even make sense, they just have to be true and hopefully allow for more discussion to arise. The second yoga concept is Dharana, to allow yourself the time and space for inner awareness. This book is full of surprisingly simple prompts that will allow the mind to quite and focus, the internal dialogue can quiet and with that focus, surprising clarity can be reveled. Using these concepts of mindfulness as a powerful centering technique, we can begin to allow old stories to be told in new ways, to connect with the knowing artist that lives within all of us.<br><br> When using these exercises in alone or in individual counseling, it’s wonderful to take some distance and really look at the image before processing. When using these in groups, it’s wonderful to see how each individual puts their stamp of their creation, no two will be the same. With humor and compassion, tap into your creativity and see what happens when you make marks on the page.</p>

<p><p>A graphic medicine book looking at how Psychoanalytic, Jungian, Feminist, Narrative, and Mindfulness theory address Vicarious Trauma. Each of these theoretical concepts has something to offer in how to process difficult experiences. Are you feeling unable to integrate what you hear from your clients? It keeps you up at night? You are isolating from your friends and family because you are so exhausted? You have become more spiritual or agnostic trying to make sense of the pain and suffering you have heard about? All of these are common responses of Vicarious Trauma. Your told by your boss to remember "Self Care" but nothing seems to bring you back to the self you were before you started direct services work. At the end of each section, there is a directive to help you put theory into practice and take a deeper look at why these stories are impacting you.</p> <p><br /> Drawing on my eight years as an Internship Supervisor for a Masters in Counseling, everything in this book has been tested and reworked with folks working with our most vulnerable populations. I would see students turn from bright-eyed new clinicians to dragging themselves to their placement sites and class feeling utterly hopeless about the system, their clients ability to "get better" and who they were as therapists. I had the term Vicarious Trauma, even felt it myself, seen it in my coworkers, but something there was something different watching it in weekly three hour chunks, one a face of a student paying a lot of money to train to be a therapist. I began researching protocols, of which there are many and no one has heard of them, and creating my own.</p></p>
