Alternative Psychology

How do you find sleep when your mind won't stop replaying every mistake, worry, and hurt? Night after night, you lie there. The world gets quiet, but inside, the chaos only amplifies. Anxiety spikes. Depression tightens its grip. Your own thoughts become a locked loop, creating a draining cycle that leaves your body tense and true rest out of reach. This is the exhaustion that steals not just your sleep, but your mornings, your resilience, your peace.

My latest book is a guide for psychotherapists and other helpers to learn my multidimensional approach to effectively treating the childhood trauma that is commonly at the roots of Complex PTSD.

Mindful Teaching and Teaching Mindfulness emphasizes how the teacher's personal familiarity with mindfulness plants the seed for an education infused with attention, awareness, kindness, empathy, compassion, and gratitude. The book follows a teacher from morning to night on a typical school day, at home, during the commute, and before, during, and after class.

From elementary schools to psychotherapy offices, mindfulness meditation is an increasingly mainstream practice. At the same time, trauma remains a fact of life. Drawing on a decade of research and clinical experience, psychotherapist and educator David Treleaven shows that mindfulness meditation - practiced without an awareness of trauma - can exacerbate symptoms of traumatic stress. This raises a crucial question: How can we minimize the potential dangers of mindfulness for survivors while leveraging its powerful benefits?

You’ve tried the therapy. The apps. The supplements. Even the breathing tricks. And yet, your chest still tightens at random, your sleep is restless, and your body feels like it’s stuck in survival mode. Here’s the truth no one told you: trauma and anxiety don’t live in your thoughts. They live in your body. And that’s why nothing has worked… until now. This 3-in-1 audiobook bundle gives you the missing piece: simple, science-backed, body-based tools that finally reset your nervous system.

Life is stressful, anxiety-provoking, and frequently traumatic. The painful experiences we go through aren't simply "over and done with" once we pass through them, however. They each leave their mark, etched deep into both the psyche and the body, affecting how well we function from this point onwards. The magic of the approach of David Berceli's Trauma Release Process is that it can be utilized by anyone, any place on the planet, even when professional help is beyond the individual's reach.

People with harm OCD - a form of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) - suffer from violent, unwanted thoughts and a crippling fear of harming others.

Biofeedback is the process of training your body to control its involuntary actions, such as breathing and heart rate. Minor changes to these actions can significantly improve physical and emotional well-being. In Biofeedback and Mindfulness in Everyday Life, Harvard Medical School faculty member Inna Khazan pairs biofeedback techniques with mindfulness practice to address some of life's most common ailments - from anxiety and fear to stress and insomnia.

The way to inner peace is illuminated in this accessible guide to tending one's inner landscape. The lives of outstanding figures such as the Buddha, Walt Whitman, and Gandhi are used to connect the ideal of inner peace with how real people cultivate peace in their everyday lives. Peacefulness as dynamic, selective, and egoless is shown through the constructive act of choosing different ways of life, such as having a smaller family or a more modest career. A message of hope and inspiration permeates this pragmatic approach and is exemplified by the author's own practice of meditation.

Meditation is one of the most popular forms of complimentary therapy for mental, emotional, and physical conditions on the planet. And when it comes to OCD, its effectiveness is no different. Meditations can help with things such as eliminating intrusive thoughts and learning to let go. Science and medicine are on the side of meditation. But even if you’re still skeptical, what do you have to lose?

Who is a person you love the most? Have you ever wondered what separates you from a happy and fulfilled life? What do you need to do to achieve harmony you always wanted? I don’t think that many people understand what “Self Love” really means, they always say, “I love you,” and almost never, “I love myself”.
