  • Finding Christopher: A...

    CA$19.95
    Grieving for your child is an appalling prospect, truly a parent's worst nightmare.

    Through a mist of pain and sorrow, Alison Montgomery struggled to find some measure of peace and, in doing so, rediscover herself after the accidental death of her 24-year-old son, Chris. Shattered by the loss, she is not the person she was--her life forever divided into "before" and "after," defined by membership in a fraternity of grieving parents who function every day in a disbelieving fog.

    You never get over it; you just get through it ... one day at a time.

We can take back our power and learn to feel better by becoming conscious and aware.
  • It Takes 2 to Tango, Maybe...

    CA$14.95
    This book speaks to the power of commitment and availability as a treatment tool to effect the most change. In traditional therapy the therapist sits on one side of the process and the client sits on the other. In Dr. Manswell's approach, the therapist, while still respecting the boundaries of therapist and client, becomes part of the solution. Trust, availability, respect, commitment and patience shared equally amongst these three key players makes the difference. Gambling addiction is such a puzzle to those not afflicted with this disability. Dr. Manswell and his clients help us gain insight into the thinking process and emotions that are at war within the gambler as they struggle to overcome the devastating hold gambling has over their lives. It is a story of pain, but more importantly it is a story of hope and of perseverance — and, finally, of success.
