Flying With Dad: A Daughter. A Father. And the Hidden Gifts in His Stories from World War II.

★★★★★Award-Winning Finalist in the Health: Aging/50+ category of the 2020 Best 
Book Awards, sponsored by American Book Fest. 
Written with vivid detail, this encouraging, life-giving book is a tale of a World War II Veteran father and his daughter, who found the relationship with him she’d always longed for. 
Do you have a family member who served in the military, who perhaps saw war, and wondered what their experience was really like? Do you suspect there are past traumas that might be affecting their ability to open up? Do you wish you could feel closer and more connected to your mom, dad, or other family members? If yes, Flying with Dad will pull you into a real-life story that shows you how. 
At age ten, Yvonne vied for her dad’s attention. At twenty, they fought about race. At sixty, she struggled to talk with him about what mattered. 
In Flying With Dad, Yvonne Caputo charts her journey to her father through the re-telling of why he went from repairing planes to being a B-24 navigator in WWII, how heavy German flak led to post-war nightmares, and why he suffered years of guilt after one particular bombing run over Unterschlauersbach, Germany. 
Over the years, Yvonne would ask her father questions about this past. She’d listen, pay attention, and found that he was paying attention to her as well. As she learned to meet him where he was, instead of where she wanted him to be, the result was an intimacy, a deep abiding respect, and a no-regrets final goodbye. 
Flying with Dad is a heart-wrenching and heart-warming story of a daughter striving to understand her father and him opening up about the experiences that shapes so many soldiers and can get in the way of the rich relationships they and their children deserve.

For contemporary fiction fans of Bastard Out of Carolina, Lullabies for Little Criminals, and Regretting You\nConnection attracts knowledge, creativity breeds resilience, but nothing grows without water...\nListen for Water is a snappy, bittersweet coming-of-age novel that tells the story of roles reversed-a daughter, Dakota, charged with keeping her mother, Ray, and their lives, right-side up. It's no easy task for a teen who wants to be anywhere but with Ray, who is hellbent on living as though she wasn't somebody's mother.\nTheir unhealthy parent-child relationship means Dakota has been burdened with age-inappropriate responsibility her whole life. She must scrounge for food as they face eviction from their low rent apartment, and she relies on whispered lessons from a mentor who is no longer in this world. What else do you do when mom has an addiction?\nAs Ray explores her talents (video gaming on an ancient Nintendo and penning lyrics to suspiciously familiar melodies), her impulsive behaviour sends the two of them on the ride of their lives, during which a tampering incident has deadly consequences. They fall off the Earth, lost to the forested mountains, and embark on an emotional and physical quest for survival.\nEach faces the challenge in unexpected ways. Ray hits her stride and ensures they do not need to adapt to a life without water. Dakota learns about her birth father and the roots of a strange recurring dream. As they become a living wilderness survival guide, they discover surprising things about themselves, their past, and their mother-daughter relationship.\nIn the end, Ray is gifted with the opportunity for a do-over. And Dakota? Will she ever be able to forgive and forget that her mother was an addict?\nOnly time will tell.

A fresh, engaging, and easy-to-read psychedelic therapy guide. Learn about psychedelics and a promising new mental health therapy program.\nNearly forty years ago, Dr. Peter Silverstone was a young MD who took up a new position in psychopharmacology research at Oxford University. Since then, the field has bloomed into a spectrum of possibilities that includes the use of psychedelics as a treatment for depression, addiction, PTSD, grief, and anxiety.\nAnd Dr. Silverstone has gone on to lead ground-breaking research into things like amphetamine interaction with the brain, mental health's impact on physical health, psychedelic use in psychotherapy, and to lead award-winning treatment breakthroughs in mental health therapy programs.\nThe Promise of Psychedelics is for you-if you or someone you know has not received successful treatment despite trying several mental health therapy programs and medication.\nOften, medication alone doesn't work, especially for conditions like PTSD, grief, depression, anxiety, addictions, or personality issues. Despite the best efforts of clinicians, medications or other psychological treatments are usually only partially effective. Sometimes, treatments don't help at all.\nPsychedelics such as psilocybin, ketamine, MDMA, cannabinoids, and LSD can cause profound, intense changes-not only in what we experience but how we think, how we feel, and what we do.\nIn The Promise of Psychedelics, you'll learn how psychedelics can mimic psychiatric disorders-sometimes producing the same symptoms and sometimes providing an antidote. There's a little on neuroscience and neurotransmitters, but Dr. Silverstone avoids scientific language whenever possible, so you won't feel overwhelmed. You'll also gain key insights into how the mind and brain differ, what's normal versus abnormal, how psychiatric diagnoses are made and why that's a problem.\nYou'll be introduced to the most recent scientific advances in our understanding of psychedelics: how they work, what the risks are, and which ones will transform mental health treatment for millions of patients. You'll gain an understanding of the complexity of the regulatory approval process and why it takes so long for some of these psychedelics to become legal for therapeutic use.\nThese psychedelics are rated and ranked as contenders, wannabes, along with the bronze-, silver-, and gold-medal winners. He shares the science behind micro-dosing psychedelics, which ones hold the most promise for inclusion into mental health therapies, and why some psychedelics simply aren't ready for prime time.\nIn this psychedelic therapy guide you'll discover why psychedelics, including micro-dosing, are poised to become standard treatment, in combination with appropriate therapy, for many mental health conditions. They could become standard therapy for depression, for example.\nAnd you'll also learn about the new form of therapy Dr. Silverstone and his team at Zylorion Health have developed that incorporates psychedelics in a controlled environment. It's intensive, with many components, or modes, that promise better mental health outcomes.\nYou'll walk away from The Promise of Psychedelics with a big dose of hope, if you'll pardon the pun. This is not just another one of those mental health books.\nThe good news is that we're on the cusp of a revolution in mental health-one that offers hope that many may see the end of mental illness.

Today is a pretty good day to die.\nThose were Marjorie Aunos's thoughts as her car hit black ice and spun out of control toward an oncoming truck. As she waited for paramedics to extricate her from the mangled wreck, unable to feel anything below her neck, she pictured her sixteen-month-old son. And decided to live.\nSo began the most challenging chapter in the life of this overachieving psychologist and single parent, whose life's work had been to advocate for parents with intellectual disabilities to help them keep custody of their children. Marjorie's spinal cord injury thrust her into a life as a newly-disabled parent, experiencing first hand the barriers and discrimination she'd witnessed for others.\nShe became one of those moms who wondered when child welfare officials would knock on the door with an apprehension order for her to give up her child.\nIn a remarkably short few months, determined not to let the accident take her professional identity, Marjorie returned to work-in her wheelchair. There, the strategies that had served her well before were ineffective. In fact, they were making things worse.\nAs a clinical psychologist, she told herself...\nShe should have been able to prevent her own depression, anxiety, and post-trauma. 
She should have been able to reframe and rehabilitate herself. 
She should have gone into post-traumatic growth and not post-traumatic disorder.\nThe should-haves fuelled deep shame and disappointment, which, in turn, increased her suffering.\nBut there were even bigger challenges.\nFive days after the accident, she asked her parents to bring her son to the hospital. Thomas was frightened by the tubes and beeping machines. He refused to touch her, hug her, or sit beside her. Marjorie felt hurt that she couldn't be there for him and that he kept turning to his grandma for comfort.\nFor years she'd dreamed about becoming a mother-not just any mother, but a great mother. An active mother, a role model mother. Marjorie plunged further into helplessness and powerlessness, her concept of perfect motherhood shattered on that Quebec roadway. And the child she'd worked so hard for being taken care of by others in a way that she couldn't.\nHow can you be a good parent if you can't bend down to tie your child's shoes or scoop them into your arms for a hug or keep them safe at bath time without supervision? Does this make you a bad parent?\nBetween physical therapy rehabilitation, new day-to-day logistics, battles with an insurance company, ongoing physical pain and pain management, Marjorie had to start over as a parent too.\nAnd she did. Giving her PTSD time to heal, Marjorie mastered co-parenting 101 with her parents, prioritizing self-care, and-something she'd never done before as an overachiever-learned how to ask for help because parenting is hard work.\nMarjorie finally accepted about herself what she believed about her former clients, those parents with disabilities: she may roll differently to-and with-her son but she already knew how to be a good parent.
