Free from Lies: Discovering your true needs by Alice Miller

$15.00 AUD

Category: Psychology

An astoundingly moving and perceptive work on how adults can finally overcome the traumas of their childhood, Free From Lies is the culmination of a life devoted to healing others. Since The Drama of the Gifted Child, no one has been more influential than Alice Miller in empowering adults whose live s were maimed emotionally and physically as children. Now she goes further, presenting theories that enhance communication and enable adults to express emotions that have been trapped for years. Practical and perceptive, Miller's work explains what can be expected from therapy, how to identify the causes of pain and why subconscious pain, unaddressed for decades, manifests itself later as depression, self-mutilation, primal inadequacy and chronic loneliness. Free from Lies contains excerpts in which a mother learns how to communicate honestly, as well as a trove of Miller's answers to her thousands of readers. ...Show more

Female Brain by Louann Brizendine

$13.50 AUD

Category: Psychology

In this groundbreaking book, Dr Louann Brizendine describes the uniquely flexible structure of the female brain and its constant, dynamic state of change - the key difference that separates it from that of the male - and reveals how women think, what they value, how they communicate, and whom they'll lo ve. She also reveals the neurological explanations behind why: a woman remembers fights that a man insists never happened; thoughts about sex enter a woman's brain perhaps once every couple of days, but may enter a man's brain up to once every minute; a woman's brain goes on high alert during pregnancy - and stays that way long after giving birth; a woman over 50 is more likely to initiate divorce than a man; women tend to know what people are feeling, while men can't spot an emotion unless someone cries or threatens them with bodily harm! Accessible, fun and compelling, and based on more than three decades of research, "The Female Brain" will help women to better understand themselves - and the men in their lives. ...Show more
