Trapped Inside Myself

Languages : en
Pages : 58
Book Description
Many people today live their lives trapped inside themselves. The streets became my refuge, as my home was caught up in the Jehovah's Witness dogma and became my hell. I was tried and convicted - as an adult for armed robbery and murder - at the age of sixteen and was sentenced to life in prison. While in prison, I became the leader of a group of Muslims and began teaching an extreme form of Islam called Salalfiyya. I believed in jihad and wanted to fight all infidels in order to get to heaven. Hatred burned at my core, but God's love was more powerful than anger or hate. God reached down into me and unlocked the door of my heart and freed me from myself. On my road to Damascus, Jesus spoke to me words that would change my life forever.

Trapped in My Own Mind
Author: Dale Grisso

ISBN: 9781936912612
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 114
Book Description
Alone. Helpless. Trapped. That is how I feel when waves of depression and negative feelings come over me. There seems to be no answers, and in the most intense moments, no one available to help. Do you ever feel like you are drowning in life, but that you cannot let the people in your life know about it? That is me when I feel trapped in my own mind. It is as if no one could understand my thoughts, and as if telling them would just complicate things that much more. I then find myself living one life in front of people, but another life that only I know about. Unfortunately, it took flirting with my own safety to realize how far I had progressed. One feeling had led to another. I finally realized that I was about to become one of those horrible stories people talk about. Or I could try to overcome, and use my story to help others. Opening up is one of the hardest things I have ever done. I never wanted anyone to know about my struggles! But it also was the best first step I could have taken. I decided to actually write out the frustrations going on inside me. There had to be someone else out there who also felt trapped. So maybe I could just relate to them. But I had no idea where this journey would actually take me. For the first time, I experienced release! I also heard powerful stories from others. But this was just the beginning. Personal answers and resources came to light, and this project is the result. A negative spiral was truly turned into a positive ascent, and I hope you will join in this discovery of freedom!

Trapped in the Mirror
Author: Elan Golomb, PhD
Publisher: Harper Collins
ISBN: 0062227025
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 276
Book Description
In this compelling book, Elan Golomb identifies the crux of the emotional and psychological problems of millions of adults. Simply put, the children of narcissist—offspring of parents whose interest always towered above the most basic needs of their sons and daughters—share a common belief: They believe they do not have the right to exist. The difficulties experienced by adult children of narcissists can manifest themselves in many ways: for examples, physical self-loathing that takes form of overeating, anorexia, or bulimia; a self-destructive streak that causes poor job performance and rocky personal relationships; or a struggle with the self that is perpetuated in the adult's interaction with his or her own children. These dilemmas are both common and correctable, Dr. Golomb tells us. With an empathic blend of scholarship and case studies, along with her own personal narrative of her fight for self, Dr. Golomb plumbs the depths of this problem, revealing its mysterious hold on the affairs of otherwise bright, aware, motivated, and worthy people. Trapped in the Mirror explores. the nature of the paralysis and lack of motivation so many adults feel stress and its role in exacerbating childhood wrongs why do many of our relationships seem to be "reruns" of the past how one's body image can be formed by faulty parenting how anger must be acknowledge to be overcome and, most important, how even the most traumatized self can be healed. Rooted in a profoundly humanist traditional approach, and suffused with the benefit of the latest knowledge about intrafamily relationships, Trapped in the Mirror offers more than the average self-help book; it is truly the first self-heal book for millions.

Unlocking Leadership Mindtraps
Author: Jennifer Garvey Berger
Publisher: Stanford University Press
ISBN: 1503609782
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 165
Book Description
Author and consultant Jennifer Garvey Berger has worked with all types of leaders—from top executives at Google to nonprofit directors who are trying to make a dent in social change. She hears a version of the same plea from every client in nearly every sector around the world: "I know that complexity and uncertainty are testing my instincts, but I don't know which to trust. Is there some way to know what to do when I can't know what's next?" Her newest work is an answer to this plea. Using her background in adult development, complexity theories, and leadership consultancy, Garvey Berger discerns five pernicious and pervasive "mind traps" to frame the book. These are: the desire for simple stories, our sense that we are right, our desire to get along with others in our group, our fixation with control, and our constant quest to protect and defend our egos. In addition to understanding why these natural impulses steer us wrong in a fast-moving world, leaders will get powerful questions and approaches that help them escape these patterns.
