Sanctuary Through the Eyes of Our Comic Book Heroes
"Who is your favorite superhero?"
Why are comic books and superheroes so popular? Rosenberg, a clinical psychologist, explains that comic book fans love superheroes and their origin stories as they show us how to be heroes, "Choosing altruism over the pursuit of wealth and power." Each hero goes through three life-altering experiences that their readers can relate to: trauma, destiny, and sheer chance.
Since the golden age (1930's) and the silver age (1950's), as well as the silver screen, comic books and superheroes have made us cry, cheer, and gnash our teeth. Its rich history provides the perfect landscape to teach trauma theory, and the Sanctuary SELF tool. This module is designed to use in Individual, Family, and Group therapy.

The Whole-Brain Child
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

No-Drama Discipline
Highlighting the fascinating link between a child’s neurological development and the way a parent reacts to misbehavior, No-Drama Discipline provides an effective, compassionate road map for dealing with tantrums, tensions, and tears—without causing a scene.
Defining the true meaning of the “d” word (to instruct, not to shout or reprimand), the authors explain how to reach your child, redirect emotions, and turn a meltdown into an opportunity for growth.
The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma
Trauma is a fact of life. Veterans and their families deal with the painful aftermath of combat; one in five Americans has been molested; one in four grew up with alcoholics; one in three couples have engaged in physical violence. Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, one of the world’s foremost experts on trauma, has spent over three decades working with survivors.
In The Body Keeps the Score, he uses recent scientific advances to show how trauma literally reshapes both body and brain, compromising sufferers’ capacities for pleasure, engagement, self-control, and trust. He explores innovative treatments—from neurofeedback and meditation to sports, drama, and yoga—that offer new paths to recovery by activating the brain’s natural neuroplasticity.
Based on Dr. van der Kolk’s own research and that of other leading specialists, The Body Keeps the Score exposes the tremendous power of our relationships both to hurt and to heal—and offers new hope for reclaiming lives.
The Developing Mind
This book goes beyond the nature and nurture divisions that traditionally have constrained much of our thinking about development, exploring the role of interpersonal relationships in forging key connections in the brain.
Daniel J. Siegel presents a groundbreaking new way of thinking about the emergence of the human mind and the process by which each of us becomes a feeling, thinking, remembering individual.
