Some of the best books I've ever read to help anyone move forward

[Marie]

Here are some of the books I've been reading I believe they can help anyone.


1.Dave Pelzer / My story This is a really sad account of major abuse which may cause triggers.....He gives a full detailed account & there is a sliver lining
2.Louise Hay / You can heal your life
3.Heidi Sawyer / Highly Intuitive People
4.Mindfullness finding peace in a frantic world
5.M. Scott Peck / The Road less travelled
6.Victor E, Frankl / Mans search for meaning

What i found to be very helpful was focusing on the more intense subjects like abnormal psychology which it has to be for some of us  then when we find the deeper meaning move on to the positive stuff like number2. Although, she suffered a terrible trauma also which is described in the book she focuses on getting past it instead of becoming part of it. That's what i did for years became part of it until i became aware of myself which lead to a serious wake up call.

All I can say is believe in yourself. I hope there is something here to help people

I re-read Man's Search for Meaning from time to time. Sometimes it jolts me out of a depressive and / or addictive phase. Last time I tried it didn't work though. I've got to be in a particular place for the book to reach me.

I read Man's Search for Meaning during my inpatient stay.  That was huge for me.

I am starting "I thought It Was Just Me" by Brene Brown.

The road less travelled is a great one its problem focused & solution based. The examples given are just brilliant.

I love Brene Brown so much she just has a lovely way of explaining here is one of her videos from ted but you've probably already seen it. But, if you haven't, its bit long but so worth the watch.

Has anyone else read "Its not you, it's what happened to you" by Christine A Courtois? My T recommended it when she began to suspect i have C-PTSD - like within the first month  .  It is an excellent little book that made me understand me for the first time! I was like "oh, there's a reason for the way I act..." It was truly an eye opener
