In this book Mario C. Salvador intends to illustrate the long journey that takes us from our essentially kind and pure nature to build our egoic identity related to the experiences we live, the environments in which we develop and educate ourselves and the influences to which we are subjected throughout the period of our lives. He exposes how we are giving shape to our ideas of the self in order to, in the best of cases, return to become reacquainted with our core Self, or the essence of our identity; that which calls out from deep within each one of us to be released, to find our own individual meaning of life. Throughout the book the author explains both, the process of constructing the ideas of the self and the way to heal the wounds attached to our sense of self, to clarify the vision of our genuine identity accurately and more intrinsically, and to reach a core self. From this point, we can manage our existence and see our experiences as the water that reflects our essential nature, and also employ the device of the self as a useful tool to direct our lives. For Mario, healing our pain and overcoming our difficulties is the way to recognize the compassionate nature that belongs to us as humans, so we can awake to a more vital and peaceful perception of life. "In this book, clinical psychologist Mario C. Salvador has really made an ambitious project. In essence, it presents us with the evolution, the current and future state of the art of psychotherapy. Mario considers in this book both the science and the art of the healing relationship. Embracing the uncertainty principle, he recognizes that ultimately the brain-body-self healing will always be an elusive mystery that challenges clinicians.This book is a fundamental contribution offering the basic principles that underlie each therapy approach and each therapeutic relationship." --David Grand, PhD, Developer and trainer of Brainspotting "The examples and clarity of presenting BSP should have this book required reading for all trainings I am surprised how rich and clear it is. Nothing else is out there at this time showing people what the in and out of BSP is. Thank you so much. I love how you come at it from a teaching and explaining what you are thinkng". Cynthia Schwartzberg, LCSW, Certified Brainspotting Therapist/Consultant/Trainer Founder and Advisory Board Member Southeast Brainspotting Institute David Grand: "This book should be in the library of every Brainspotting therapist!"
Overcoming Emotional Trauma: Life Beyond Survival Mode is a balance of personal stories and perspective that is interwoven, and it works! Travis humanizes how trauma can play out in an individual for a deeper understanding. This book will help you look at other factors, besides just behaviors and symptoms. Overcoming Emotional Trauma is not only for professionals working with those who have experienced trauma, but for those who have experienced trauma themselves. The information included in this book can also have a wide spread application for the many systems we navigate in our daily lives, and for anyone who is interested in self-awareness and growth. Travis' story encapsulates what many of those operating in "survival mode" are actively living, which is sometimes difficult to put into words or describe. ~Alyssa Shepard, LMSW, Children and Family Therapist -Iowa
Although Communication with All Life is about animal communication, it isn't just a how-to book, but a guide that will help you discern how much you're already exchanging feelings, words, and pictures with your pet. Woven throughout the book are many stories to illustrate and support the theory that animal communication isn't something that you do or need to learn . . . it just is. By tuning in telepathically, Joan Ranquet has helped thousands of people and animals deepen their connections with each other, resolve behavioral problems, assist in the process of death and dying, and examine issues surrounding illness and accidents. Many of the situations that are dealt with throughout the book are actually people-perception problems rather than stories of an ill-behaved dog, cat, horse, bird, or other pet. Communication with All Life illustrates how to move past the emotional patterns that create unwanted behavior and ultimately demonstrates that animal companions give humans the opportunity to enact leadership and responsibility in their thoughts and feelings to ensure harmony at home.

Foreword by Gwyneth Paltrow Integrative medical practitioner to the stars and Goop contributor Vicky Vlachonis offers a groundbreaking program to eliminate pain and look and feel your best every day. In The Body Doesn’t Lie: The Three-Step Program to End Chronic Pain and Become Positively Radiant, Vicky Vlachonis focuses on pain release instead of on pain relief. Back problems, nightly headaches, tight shoulders, achy feet-all of us have nagging, daily pains that seem to get worse when our lives get most busy. While the immediate reaction to pain is to take short-term measures to make it go away, this does nothing to address the underlying cause. Vlachonis shows us how to locate the source of our pain, understand its origin and manifestation in the body, and then let it go for good, using a holistic approach that includes easy-to-implement approaches to diet, exercise, and emotional well-being. Vlachonis’ proven and successful pain eradication program was developed over years working with a wide range of clients, from celebrities and CEOs to overworked ballerinas and working moms. The book includes a detailed meal plan with recipes, body maps to identify areas of pain and healing touch points, and step-by-step remedies for specific issues including fatigue, digestive problems, and depression. This groundbreaking approach uses pain as a tool—not the undefeatable enemy—to help you look and feel better immediately, and release your body from physical and emotional pain for good.
