| why is everyone always picking on me: Developing a Narrative Approach to Healthcare Research Viv Martin, 2016-07-06 Patients' perspectives on their experiences of illness and treatment are increasingly valued by the medical profession as a source of information to enhance professional development, peer support and the quality of care provided. This book explores the development of an in-depth, relational and reflexive approach to narrative inquiry, drawing on counselling and arts-based approaches to researching accounts of illness. The significance of patient stories is explored through narrative research conversations with people whose personal accounts of a range of conditions provide powerful insights into the impact of illness on identity, life stories and the experience of patienthood. It offers suggestions for using narrative methods in medical education and practice to help professionals to both attend to patients' narratives and reflect on their own stories. Developing a Narrative Approach to Healthcare Research will be of interest to educators, practitioners, students and researchers in healthcare and the social sciences. 'I will recommend this book to my students; I hope other healthcare professionals will do the same and that some, like me, will go on to explore how narrative and story can be harnessed to both explore experience and to teach within healthcare.' - from the Foreword by Karen Forbes 'I would recommend this book to everybody who is involved in caring for people who suffer serious illness - whether they are professionals, family or friends. I also recommend it to social scientists and health professionals who want to conduct research in ways that capture the richness of peoples' lived experience.' - Kim Etherington, Professor of Narrative and Life Story Research, University of Bristol, UK. |

| why is everyone always picking on me: Holy Sexuality Becky R. Patton, 2010-11 What in the world does sexuality have to do with spirituality? Most of us treat these two topics like oil and water. Couple that with the fact that sexuality tends to be a taboo subject, and we’re left with incredible misinformation about this intimate and powerful aspect of our lives and our identity. This book addresses a “Top 5” list of questions that many of us carry: 1. What does sexuality have to do with spirituality? 2. Are men and women really that different and why does it matter? 3. What does healthy sexuality look like for singles? 4. If everyone’s doing it, why save sex for marriage? 5. Is masturbation a sin? If you’ve struggled with any or all of these real-life questions, this book is for you. Fresh truth from scripture and amazing new revelations in brain science and biology are converging to provide a wealth of insight and a holy invitation: Can we recognize our sexuality as good by God’s design?

| why is everyone always picking on me: Forgiveness Iyanla Vanzant, 2013-11-05 The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Peace from Broken Pieces Liberate yourself and embrace the future, with the 21-Day Forgiveness Plan. Too many of us feel trapped in stagnant romantic, family, or workplace relationships. Weighed down by toxic thoughts and emotions, we might be quick to judge and slow to pardon, and self-righteous about our feelings as we dwell on memories of what we or others did (or failed to do). Iyanla Vanzant challenges us to liberate ourselves from the wounds of the past and to embrace the new power of forgiveness. With Iyanla’s 21-Day Forgiveness Plan, you’ll explore relationship dynamics with your parents, children, friends, partners, co-workers, bosses, yourself, and even God. With journaling work and Emotional Freedom Techniques (also known as tapping), you’ll learn to live with more love; gain new clarity on your life, lessons, and blessings; and discover a new level of personal freedom, peace, and well-being. Forgiveness doesn’t mean agreeing with, condoning, or even liking what has happened. Forgiveness means letting go and knowing that—regardless of how challenging, frightening, or difficult an experience may seem—everything is just as it needs to be in order for you to grow and learn. When you focus on how things should be, you deny the presence and power of love. Accept the events of the past, while being willing to change your perspective on them. As Iyanla says, Only forgiveness can liberate minds and hearts once held captive by anger, bitterness, resentment, and fear. Forgiveness is a true path to freedom that can renew faith, build trust, and nourish the soul. |
