A Journey Back to Self is a work of heart packed with soulular nutrition for anyone seeking support during times of Great Change. Laura Fredrickson has transformed her trials and tribulations into enriching compost that is sure to fertilize the minds and hearts of those that are ready to embark on this journey of renewal, recalibration and restoration. Her vital reminders fortify those that are feeling hopeless with hope, those that are feeling despair with inspiration, and those that are feeling powerless, with empowerment."Laura is living proof and an exemplar, of someone who has been very far into the darkness, and has come back. She is therefore a very credible person with whom to explore this new way of relating to money, prosperity, safety, security and control. She is credible in ways that most simply are not." - Barnet Bain, Author Producer, What Dreams May Come Director, Milton's Secret with Eckhart Tolle"Words have no power to describe what I felt and saw, when reading this book. This is the owner's manual that humans are looking for and is incredibly powerful energy and information, and Laura's craft is flawless. This is the knowledge that every human is looking for and should be presented at birth." - Jessie Morgan, Spiritual Teacher

This is a true story everyone should read. 100+ 4*/5* reviews! A roller coaster ride of mental health issues, travel, relationships, rape, adventures, eating disorder, abuse, drugs, alcohol. Adults only. If I told you I'd been to twenty-four Countries (twenty-one by the time I was twenty-two), that I'd worked in Japan for nine months, toured Australia for six months, enjoyed seven months in Thailand and met and campaigned for the Orangutan in Borneo, you might think that I was pretty lucky.If I told you I'd worked in the hotel industry, for a sexual health department in a hospital and with prisoners in a drug cell block of a male prison, that I'd worked as a recruitment consultant, in so many office jobs I've lost count, as well as having my own company and multiple websites, at age thirty-six, then you might think I've had an interesting life.But if I added to that a mix of child rape, mental health problems, promiscuity, drug taking, alcohol abuse, eating disorders, self-harm, violence, mood swings, obsession, jealousy, loss of self worth, being raised by a mentally ill mother, bankruptcy, thyroid and gastro problems and public masturbation in school at age nine, then I am not sure what you'd think. But this is me; Amanda Green. This is my life, my story; my journey back to me from depression, anxiety, panic attacks, OCD and Borderline Personality Disorder - mental illness which manifested during my life and came out 'to it's peak' in my thirties.I was able to use my collection of mementos, photos, diaries, journals, letters, emails and text messages of my past to finally see who I had become, and more importantly with a combination of therapy, medication and my writing, how I became that alien self and how I found the real me.One of many 5* reviews... "I would thoroughly recommend this book not just to those suffering with mental health issues, but to those who would also like a jolly good read!"The editor (Debz Hobbs-Wyatt) adds...This is the journey of a normal working class girl, trapped in a roller coaster world of disorder and excitement, love and joy, depression and anger - and her fight against stigmaWhile My Alien Self would be inspiring for any sufferer, their families or medical teams in its honest insights into living with a mental illness, it also has universal appeal. For who, at times, has not felt their life spin into chaos and wondered what is normal? This story effectively and openly highlights just how fine the line is between what is normal, and what is 'mental illness' And everyone who reads it will be able to relate to it.Contains explicit language and sexual scenesEmergence had this to say ''We very much enjoyed reading this honest and powerful account of Amanda's journey from diagnosis to recovery. We applaud such authentic and candid accounts of the devastation that can be experienced by those living with personality disorder and of the message of hope and recovery that the book conveys.'Bon Dobbs (Anything To Stop The Pain and Author of 'When hope is not enough') said 'While there are many borderline personality disorder memoirs out now (including 'The Buddha and the Borderline', 'Loud House of Myself', 'Get Me Out of Here', 'Girl in Need of a Tourniquet' and 'Poisoned Love'), My Alien Self goes a long way to providing hope to the sufferers of BPD. By publishing the steps taken to reframe certain ways thinking, through CBT worksheets and other exercises, the author has revealed that recovery from BPD is possible.'I self published this book and am very proud of that fact, because I was able to write it exactly as I wanted it to be written, with the help from my fabulous editor, Debz Hobbs-Wyatt. Whilst the massive help a publisher and agent gives, they do narrow down what is published, so I took on the journey to publish it and market it myself. There's a sequel out too, called '39'. It's quite different, but it leads on from this one :-)

Who are the Wayshowers? What is the self of my being? How did I become separated from truth? What is the True Mind? From the time of your birth into being there have been these prevailing truths: you are love and you are loved; you are complete; and you are the spark from the Divine. The guide named Mother, the true author of this book, leads you through the minefield of deception that has held you back from the truth of who you are. She takes you back to the beginning of this planet and its first inhabitants, shares ancient wisdom and insights about judgment, forgiveness, and the human mind and much, much more. There is and has only been one truth, and Mother lights this spark of truth within you with great wisdom and clarity. Come forth into the act of being and believe in the self is the cornerstone of her message. Mother speaks personally to each of you, and with expert guidance, shows how to come forth in this very important time of ascension. She speaks of the Wayshowers, the enlightened ones who have come back at this time to lead this planet through the transition from falsehood to truth and from duality into singularity. Perhaps you are one of these Wayshowers and her message will help to light your way through your Journey of the Self. He who knows others is wise; he who knows himself is enlightened. - Lao-Tzu
Everyone will agree that a story needs an ending; unless a story goes somewhere, it’s pointless. The purpose of a set-up is to lead toward a conclusion, toward a destination. A story without an ending, without a purpose, is not a story worth telling. The same is true for our lives: we need a destination. We are all part of a larger story, but we’re also writing our own individual stories. Hashem created us in this world with unlimited potential, but that was only the “set-up” ― the beginning of our story. Without a purposeful destination, a clear goal, and a deeper understanding of who we are and who we are meant to be, the set-up lacks true meaning. We need to make this a meaningful journey ― a story of growth, creativity, and contribution. This book is written to help you along your personal journey, to help you become the ultimate version of yourself. As you learn through this sefer, plant the ideas within your mind and soul, and bring them to life. Make your life a meaningful journey, an extraordinary story.
As humanity continues to struggle with their self-identity Book Two of The Human Case for Mistaken Identity Series, Self-Love: The Journey Home, continues to explore and assist us in reclaiming our authentic self-identity by returning us to a state of unconditional self-love. It guides us through the fundamentals of self-love - radical honesty, acknowledgement and self-knowledge, radical self-acceptance, self-trust, and self-forgiveness - their meaning and tangible application in our lives. It explores how our human social conditioning developed our inner child wounds and self-perceptions and how these have continued to play out in our adult lives. It further teaches us about patterns and how to use these as a teaching tool and prompt to healing. Leda leads us into understanding that we carry the wisdom of innately loving ourselves from our spiritual origin but through human ego and life we have forgotten. She walks us back home to that love as it was intended and is.
