Stephen W. Porges, Seth Porges Our Polyvagal World: How Safety and Trauma Change Us
The creator of the Polyvagal Theory explains the principles in simple terms that are accessible to all. Since Stephen Porges first proposed the Polyvagal Theory in 1994, its basic idea―that the level of safety we feel impacts our health and happiness―has radically shifted how researchers and clinicians approach trauma interventions and therapeutic interactions. Yet despite its wide acceptance, most of the writing on the topic has been obscured behind clinical texts and scientific jargon. Our Polyvagal World definitively presents how Polyvagal Theory can be understandable to all and demonstrates how its practical principles are applicable to anyone looking to live their safest, best, healthiest, and happiest life. What emerges is a worldview filled with optimism and hope, and an understanding as to why our bodies sometimes act in ways our brains wish they didn’t. Filled with actionable advice and real-world examples, this book will change the way you think about your brain, body, and ability to stay calm in a world that feels increasingly overwhelming and stressful.

Margo Goodhand Runaway Wives and Rogue Feminists: The Origins of the Women's Shelter Movement in Canada
In the supposedly enlightened 60s and 70s, violence against women was widespread. It wasn't talked about, and women had few, if any, options to escape their abusers. Yet in 1973 with no statistics, no money and little public support five disparate groups of Canadian women quietly opened Canada's first battered women's shelters. Today, there are well over 600. In this book journalist Margo Goodhand tracks down the rogue feminist whose work forged an underground railway for women and children, weaving their stories into an unforgettable and until now untold history.

Lisa M. Najavits Seeking Safety: A Treatment Manual For PTSD and Substance Abuse
This manual presents the first empirically studied, integrative treatment approach developed specifically for PTSD and substance abuse. For persons with this dual diagnosis, the most urgent clinical need is to establish safety - to work toward discontinuing substance use, letting go of dangerous relationships, and gaining control over such extreme symptoms as dissociation and self-harm. The manual is divided into 25 topics, each of which forms the basis for one or more sessions. Covering a range of cognitive, behavioral, and interpersonal issues, topics include practical tools and techniques to engage patients in treatment; teach "safe coping skills" that apply to both disorders; and restore respect, care, protection, and healing. Sessions can be conducted in any order and in a range of settings. Includes reproducible handouts and forms.
