| Overcoming Traumatic Stress |
 |
| Terrible events are very hard to deal
with. Those who go through a catastrophic life experience
often feel permanently changed by the impact of what has
happened. Memories of horrifying scenes may intrude unexpectedly
during waking hours while sleep may be disturbed by vivid,
unpleasant dreams. To overcome the effects of trauma it
is necessary to change those reactions and begin to see
events in a different light. This book demonstrates, with
practical advice and tested exercises, how to find new,
effective ways of coping with, and finally overcoming
traumatic stress. |

| The Rape Recovery Handbook |
 |
| This handbook helps rape victims cope
with the reality of the experience and deal with the aftermath
of conflicting feelings. Recovery begins by establishing
a safety plan that includes what to expect from the book,
what to expect from recovery, and how victims should treat
themselves during this process. Survivors learn how to
cope with the anxiety and anger that often arise during
recovery. Sexual assault dramatically affects the victim's
life; this book shatters myths about sexual assault and
examines how the experience changes relationships. |

| Bully On Line |
 |
| Bullying is the common denominator of
harassment, discrimination, prejudice, abuse, persecution,
conflict and violence. When the bullying has a focus it
is expressed as racial prejudice or a form of harassment
or discrimination. Although bullying often lacks a focus,
bullies are deeply prejudiced but at the same time sufficiently
devious to not reveal their prejudices to the extent that
they contravene the law. Most of the information on this
site is derived from experience of dealing with bullying
in the workplace, however, much of the information also
applies to bullying in other scenarious such as in schools
and in relationships. |
