  Creating safety, hope, and secure attachment to transform traumatic memories. 
   
   
   
  What makes trauma therapy effective? The answers might surprise you. While therapists have been bombarded with brain science, hundreds of new models, and pressure to use evidence-based techniques, research has demonstrated that the therapeutic relationship ultimately predicts therapy outcomes. This is especially true for traumatized clients. But, what kind of therapeutic relationship? Forming a secure therapeutic alliance with traumatized clients is tricky. How do you help clients trust you after they've been abused, betrayed, or exploited? How do you instill hope and convince clients who've been devastated by loss to believe that a better life is possible? 
   
               
   
  In this accessible guide, Courtney Armstrong distills discoveries from attachment theory, brain science, and post-traumatic growth into practical strategies you can use to: 1) build trust and a secure therapeutic relationship; 2) transform traumatic memories into stories of triumph and courage; and 3) help clients cultivate resilience and a positive post-trauma identity.

  In a country where health care is increasingly driven by profit, Margin over Mission exposes the dire consequences of corporate ownership in hospitals. James Kelly, an ICU nurse with over two decades of experience, narrates a gripping account of his final year at Lovelace Women's Hospital in Albuquerque, New Mexico—a year marred by preventable deaths, administrative changes, and the heartbreaking loss of a once-mission-driven institution to the clutches of Wall Street. 
   
   
   
  Kelly's poignant narrative takes listeners on an emotional journey through the corridors of a hospital that once stood for community and care but became overshadowed by the relentless pursuit of profit. Through detailed anecdotes and critical analysis, Kelly reveals the stark reality of a health care system compromised by private equity, where decisions prioritize profit margins over the mission of saving lives. 
   
   
   
  Kelly's unique perspective as an ICU nurse provides an insider's look into how private equity is wreaking havoc in hospitals around the country. His story is also a powerful tribute to the countless health care workers who struggle to maintain their integrity and compassion in an increasingly inhumane system that prioritizes money over people.

  Emotionally Intelligent...

  This text is meant to teach college students how to develop their  skills in emotionally intelligent leadership. Like other texts of  this nature, it assumes that everyone has the capacity to be a  leader, not just those in official roles in formal organizations.  The authors argue that college students are in the unique position  of having a learning lab at their disposal. The  campus environment provides a rich array of diversity and  opportunities for honing leadership skills.   It is the first book for students that combines the concepts of  emotional intelligence (EI) and leadership into one model of  Emotionally Intelligent Leadership (EIL), around which the book is  organized. The EIL model is defined as consciousness of context,  consciousness of self, and consciousness of others, and each  chapter represents one of the 21 defined skills that make up this  triad. The book is meant to provide students with a clear and  engaging theoretical perspective as well as practical application.  Further it encourages purposeful reflection of the concepts  presented and provides students with tools to learn more about  themselves, work more productively with others, improve  relationships, and be more effective in a leadership capacity.
