Hello again.
We’re pleased to add Dr. Charlotte Reznick’s new book to our list: The Power of Your Child's Imagination: How to Transform Stress & Anxiety into Joy & Success. This is a terrific resource for parents, teachers and anyone who spends time with kids, offering simple, accessible, well-tested advice and expert guided imagery tools to help kids with all kinds of struggles and quandaries.
Charlotte knows kids and she knows the challenges they face, and she’s
got practical, empowering, fully vetted guided imagery solutions for
them. There are techniques for everything from bed-wetting to coping
with divorce to test anxiety to managing anger…. and a lot more. And
even though her methods are simple, clear and easy to follow, make no
mistake: they’re based on a sophisticated, nuanced understanding of the
complex issues involved.
Another thing I appreciate about this book is the way it addresses all kinds of kids - rich and poor, school-smart and learning-disabled, confident and terrified. It gives parents and teachers the tools kids need to surmount most difficulties and thrive in a complicated, stressful world.
And speaking of terrific books, I must mention Healing Companions, the new book by Jane Miller, an extraordinarily compassionate and skillful social worker and a long-time expert on psychiatric service dogs. Almost all dogs deliver emotional support, but these dogs are very specially tuned into helping people struggling with phobias, debilitating anxiety, low confidence and depression. Most recently they’ve been providing strength and stability to some of our traumatized vets. The book explains what to look for in a dog and how to make the most of this awesome (and slightly miraculous) service.
OK, that’s it for now. Take care and be well.

I love dogs and have experienced, my whole life, what an incredible gift they are to us humans. I'm excited about the human-dog connection that is being explored in areas such as pairing dogs with vets; mental health workers using the presence of a dog to help a client feel safe; service dogs helping disabled people; and dogs helping children learn to read. However, in our exuberance to use dogs to help humans, let's please remember and emphasize that the welfare of those dogs that give us so much needs to be a priority, too. We need to make sure that they are protected, well cared for, and loved as they are helping us. They have needs, too.

I am one of BR's invisible heroes..a survivor of pts who has healed. About 6 mos after buying the book, reading and rereading, just as I was ready to begin the imagery work, an amazing female black lab (about 4 mos old, starving and broken--someone had kicked or stomped her so hard that a piece of her l hip was broken off and floating)--arrived at our house and into my life. Our challenge, hers and mine, was to trust humans again and my job was to teach her as I was learning...took my focus off myself and required that I pay attention to her triggers. She has earned her "wings" with me as a service dog for sure!
