This week we have a lovely c...

New Books in PsychologyDavid A. Treleaven, "Trauma-Sensitive Mindfulness: Practices for Safe and Transformative Healing" (Norton, 2018)Mindfulness meditation has become the mental health practice du jour, and rightfully so, given all of its benefits: greater presence, clarity and calm.

Dead Hearts ClubThis Is HealingHere are some words by Scott Stabile that I came across recently: And then my sorrow whispered to me… I am not here to crush you. I have not come for your hope. I only want you to feel the deep pain of our world so that you will love everyone in it that much more.
