Obsessive-Compulsive Disorders

Abstract

Isaac Itkin can?t get away from his thoughts.

As a lonely twelve-year-old kid with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), everything from studying to looking in the mirror becomes a battle between him and a swarm of unhelpful thoughts.

The strict therapy his mother insists on doesn?t seem to be working, but when a group of friends invites him to join their after-school role-playing game, the thoughts feel a little less loud, and the world feels a little brighter.

But Isaac?s therapist says that exposure to games can have negative effects on kids with OCD, and when his grades slip, his helicopter mother won?t let him play anymore. Now Isaac needs to find a way to prove to himself, to his mother, and to the world that the way to quiet the noise in his head may have been inside him all along.

Recommended for children ages 8 - 12.

Shame

Abstract

Dr. Brene Brown draws upon more than twelve years of investigation to reveal how we can disarm the influence of shame to cultivate a life of greater courage, joy, and love. She invites you to explore: 1. The differences and similarities between the experience of shame for men and women; 2. Guilt vs. shame - why one helps us grow, while the other keeps us small; 3. The four elements of shame resilience - identifying our triggers, practicing critical awareness, sharing our story, and speaking honestly; 4. Empathy as the primary antidote to shame.

Chronic Pain

Abstract

We know that practicing mindfulness in everyday life can help us reduce stress and cultivate deep, embodied well-being, but what about its effects on physical and emotional pain, especially when it seems overwhelming or unrelenting? Mindfulness Meditation for Pain Relief is a soothing program with guided meditations and teachings. It opens with an overview of seven fundamental attitudes we can develop to cultivate mindfulness in relationship to chronic pain and its incessant challenges, and follows with concepts and practices including: mindful breathing, working with intense sensations, befriending thoughts and emotions, finding refuge in awareness, and bringing mindfulness into every life.
