Abstract

En matière de sexualité, Il n'y a ni normes ni règles et chaque personne, chaque couple est différent. Mais nous avons parfois besoin d'un peu d'aide, de curiosité et de motivation, pour trouver l'épanouissement, le plaisir et la confiance. Car la sexualité naturelle n'existe pas, elle s'apprend. Carlotta Munier, sexothérapeute, nous invite à nous interroger sur nous-même, nos relations et notre intimité, à nous libérer de nos conditionnements.

Emotional Health

Children's Emotions

Abstract

A comforting primer in emotional literacy and mindfulness that suggests we approach the feeling of sadness as if it is our guest.

Sadness can be scary and confusing at any age! When we feel sad, especially for long periods of time, it can seem as if the sadness is a part of who we are - an overwhelming, invisible, and scary sensation.

In When Sadness Is at Your Door, Eva Eland brilliantly approaches this feeling as if it is a visitor. She gives it a shape and a face, and encourages the reader to give it a name, all of which helps to demystify it and distinguish it from ourselves. She suggests activities to do with it, like sitting quietly, drawing, and going outside for a walk. The beauty of this approach is in the respect the book has for the feeling, and the absence of a narrative that encourages the reader to 'get over' it or indicates that it's 'bad,' both of which are anxiety-producing notions.

Simple illustrations that recall the classic style of Crockett Johnson (Harold and the Purple Crayon) invite readers to add their own impressions.

Eva Eland's debut picture book is a great primer in mindfulness and emotional literacy, perfect for kids navigating these new feelings and for adult readers tackling the feelings themselves!

Abstract

" Tu es tout pour moi ", " je n'ai besoin de personne ", " nous ne faisons qu'un ", " être ensemble est insupportable mais nous quitter est impossible ".. . Angoisse d'abandon, mécanismes d'isolement ou désir de fusion à l'autre, sont divers visages d'un même phénomène : la dépendance affective. Comment la reconnaître ? D'où vient-elle ? Peut-on s'en libérer ? À travers des témoignages riches et éclairants, ce livre met au jour les origines familiales et généalogiques des dépendances affectives : accaparement de l'enfant par le parent, emprise, désamour, violences et abus, traumatismes transmis de génération en génération... Surtout, il nous invite à mobiliser les ressources dont nous disposons pour accéder à la liberté d'être soi. Le choix d'une vie non plus subie mais incarnée, même s'il est difficile, nous appartient.

Burnout

Abstract

Les enfants courent toujours. Nous leur répétons inlassablement de ralentir pour éviter de tomber et de se blesser. Une fois adulte, on court autant qu?eux, mais il n?y a plus personne pour nous dire de ralentir. Le marathon est quotidien : le 8 à 5, la routine, les enfants, les responsabilités, l?épicerie, les repas? Essoufflé. Épuisé. Brûlé. Combien de fois répétez-vous ces mots dans une seule journée. On attend les vacances avec impatience. On passe un temps fou à les planifier, on essaie de tout faire ce qu?on n?a pas fait dans l?année. Elles passent toujours trop vite. Et on revient au boulot étourdi et vidé.

On court après le bonheur. On espère devenir une meilleure personne. On vise plus de performance au travail. On recherche une relation amoureuse épanouie. Et une vie sociale bien remplie. Ah! Et les enfants? On ne pouvait pas imaginez à quel point ça prendrait autant d?énergie. Imaginez, on en a fait deux, trois ou peut-être même quatre. Comment faisaient nos arrière-grands-parents pour en élever autant? Quelle leçon n?a-t-on pas comprise?

Peut-on repenser son horaire et gagner du temps? Avons-nous seulement le temps de nous arrêter un moment et de repenser notre emploi du temps? Si vous aviez le pouvoir d?arrêter l?horloge, que feriez-vous en premier? Si on vous offrait une heure de plus par jour, comment l?occuperiez-vous? Je vous invite à une quête. Celle de trouver un sens à cette course contre la montre. Pour eux, mais surtout pour vous.

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.
