Invisible Girls: The Truth About Sexual Abuse

Invisible Girls: The Truth About Sexual Abuse, by Dr. Patti Feuereisen,‎ Caroline Pincus (Contributor) (2009)

From Amazon.com: The statistics are staggering. One in four girls will experience sexual abuse by the time she is sixteen, and 48 percent of all rapes involve a young woman under the age of eighteen. It’s not surprising then, that in a society where sexual abuse of young women is rampant, many women never share their stories. They remain hidden and invisible.

In her pioneering work with young survivors through the last thirty years, Dr. Patti Feuereisen has helped teen girls and young women to find their voices, begin healing, and become visible.

In this revised second edition, Dr. Patti’s gentle guidance and the girls’ powerful stories continue to create an encouraging message: Remarkable healing is possible if girls learn to share their stories in their teens and early twenties. With a new introduction, new chapters, and updated resources, this new edition of Invisible Girls has even more to offer girls, young women, and those who care about them.

Feeling Loved: The Science of Nurturing Meaningful Connections and Building Lasting Happiness

Feeling Loved: The Science of Nurturing Meaningful Connections and Building Lasting Happiness

By Jeanne Segal, PhD, (2015)

From Amazon.com:  In a world where fear and anxiety block the capacity for love, Feeling Loved can open your heart. Do your connections with friends, family, or romantic partners leave you feeling dissatisfied or disconnected? If you’re receptive to making changes, Emotional Intelligence pioneer, Jeanne Segal, Ph.D., shows you how to get and give loving experiences that are nurturing, fulfilling and lasting. Drawing on the latest discoveries in neuroscience and her 45 years as a therapist, she shows you how the nervous system experiences love and why the more love you feel, the less stress you experience. Feeling Loved also describes the things we do that hijack our ability to feel loved. In a style that is engaging, practical, and filled with illustrative real-life stories, you will learn new ways of thinking, feeling and acting that make you feel more loved.

In Feeling Loved you learn to:

  • Identify and overcome the challenges that keep you from experiencing love
  • Use proven techniques to quickly reduce stress and regulate out-of-control emotions
  • Communicate your needs and resolve disagreements in ways that are less stressful
  • Transform your relationships with everyone in your life

Segal’s engaging and practical approach guides readers in developing new ways of thinking, feeling, and acting, in order to make life-altering changes. Enhanced with inspiring and illustrative real-life stories, Feeling Loved is thoroughly absorbing and exceptionally well written.

Jeanne Segal, Ph.D., is a pioneer in the field of emotional intelligence and the psychology of connection. Her engaging and practical approach guides readers in developing new ways of thinking, feeling, and acting, in order to make life-altering changes. She has written five books, which have been published in 13 languages.
