Spit was sprayed on her face as he shouted at her shoving her against the wall, his hand around her throat forcing her on her tiptoes. "Kill me then" she said, in a quiet voice. It was the last act of defiance, daring him to do it, so that this would all be over. There could be no more violence, or trepidation. Perhaps peace would finally find its way into her life.She was 15. Surely life wasn't meant to be like this was it?Poignant, shocking, heartfelt, and yet, at times, funny, this story describes Michelle's journey from a (as she would describe it) 'less than ideal start' (abuse as we know it), to a successful career in the military and, later on, as a consultant and business owner. Unknowingly, those experiences in her formative years were to create the perfect storm for what was to come.For each one of us who have experienced some kind of trauma, we are probably oblivious as to what patterns can be created from our early childhood experiences. This book details not only how the effects of those can be incredibly devastating, leaving an indelible mark on the map of life, impacting how we see and interact with the world and those living in it, but also how even the things we think are helping us can, sometimes, end up being our Achilles heel.Certain coping strategies helped (sometimes), her determination helped (sometimes) and her sense of humour kept her going (always). This book is more than just an explanation of her life; it focuses on the possibility for all of us, to overcome our demons once we know what is driving them.

In July 1798, a Cambridge student set out on a botanical tour and wrote the first guidebook to North Wales. Wearing spectacles and carrying a rucksack, Yorkshire-born William Bingley made notes, sketched and looked for rare plants. He befriended a Welshman with whom he made the first recorded rock climb in Britain on the north flank of Snowdon. Three years later they climbed the iconic mountain Tryfan. Bingley also helped establish the legend of the faithful hound Gelert.In retracing Bingley's steps through the historic counties of Flint, Denbigh, Caernarvon, Anglesey, Merioneth and Montgomery (as well as the town of Oswestry), the reader will discover a landscape and people of over two hundred years ago. They will clamber with Bingley up waterfalls, ride in a waggon into a candle-lit copper mine, sail on a cutter to Ynys Enlli, suffer the fleas at an inn in Beddgelert, ponder the necessity of taking a pint of rum up Snowdon, or blissfully rest in the shade of Montgomery Castle during harvest. Perhaps also, like Bingley, they will be fired by the Last Bard's curse on Edward I, while gazing across the water at sunset towards the isle of the Druids.This first edition since 1839 includes a newly researched biography, and background on the Picturesque, the Sublime, slate quarries and pickled puffins.

The New Psychological Approach to Unlocking the Baby in You This Conceiving Conception Workbook offers infertility therapy to those who are either suffering with unexplained infertility, miscarriage, IVF failures or are in need of IVF support.Infertility affects as many as 1 in 7 couples worldwide. Increasingly, solutions are sought in nutrition, reducing stress, eliminating harmful toxins, charting ovulation and, for many couples, artificial reproductive techniques like IVF and hormone treatments. But if the effects of infertility are deeply psychological and emotional, couldn't the causes be, too?Psychologist Dr Louise Goddard-Crawley has spent her career counselling women and couples experiencing unexplained infertility, and she has found that most solutions neglect one of the most powerful parts of the body: the mind. From past beliefs that it's 'wrong' to get pregnant to trauma from your own childhood and undiscovered anxieties surrounding childbirth and parenthood, she advocates a radical, therapy-based solution to fertility problems that delves into the subconscious. This workbook looks at what might be holding you back from getting the very thing you desire the most.... a baby, and helps you change the deeply subconscious attitudes you have towards conception. Warm, supportive, and without blame; just like a personal counselling session, this workbook provides you with real-world therapeutic techniques tailored to you - just like having a therapist with you.
