This startling exposé shares the truth behind the transgender indoctrination movement targeting our children. WARNING: Contains adult content, which can't be avoided when talking about sexuality, genital surgery, and more in the trans lifestyle."It's cool to be trans!" Shockingly, that's what our children are being led to believe by not only the media and the transgender community, but also by some school employees, other adults in their lives, their peers, social media, and even politicians! If you have a child in school, a child about to enter school, or an adult child heading to college, after seeing the headlines in the news, you are likely concerned about what your child may be exposed to. And, you should be! Some bad actors are seeking to indoctrinate our children into the transgender community. After all, the more members they have, the stronger they are, and the more legislation they can push. But, what if a child who is not trans thinks he or she is based on these brainwashing techniques? How can we, as parents, protect our children from being emotionally and possibly physically mutilated based on this indoctrination? Here's the good news! Many children and teens are claiming to be trans to get attention. Everybody wants to be part of the "in crowd" and, unfortunately, trans is the cool thing to be now. With the correct intervention, parents and/or therapists can stop this behavior. Most children who do actually have "gender dysphoria" outgrow it with no medical intervention. With the correct therapy, children and young adults CAN recover from "gender dysphoria!"Transgender Mindbender, the second in a series of "anti-woke" books by this author, will help children recognize when they are being manipulated to the advantage of groups that do not have Christian morals, and do not care about your child's mental or physical health.Our children are being used as pawns in social and political experiments and it is time that we, as parents, put a stop to it. The only way to do that is to teach our children the right way to live, and how to recognize when someone is trying to indoctrinate them into a particular mindset that can wreak a lifetime of emotional and physical trauma. Through this series of books by Clout Publishing, we aim to help parents do just that.

Although the practices in this book originated in ancient China, these exercises are meant to benefit all people. The system as a whole is known as "Qigong."

Each day of practice will bring greater and greater benefits, gradually refining your health and vitality-your fundamental nature-as one would refine ore into gold. As the founder of Morning Crane Healing Arts Center in San Jose and Los Angeles, California, Chris believes in self-empowerment, teaching that no matter your life circumstances, you can take control of your health in order to enjoy life, free from pain.

Many times in life, the unexpected happens to us, or to someone else, and many times it is a tragic incident. In 2017 our youngest son took his own life. It was unexpected. It was a complete surprise. To us, he seemed to be living a full, God-honoring life. How do you explain such a tragedy? How do you explain that unexpected tragedy in your life? There is a reason for that, which is explained in the Bible. This book will help you make sense out of things, which ordinarily, in your human understanding, makes no sense. Using the Bible as our guide, we will pull back the curtain of the unexpected and find not only answers, but hope that will help you to cope with your shock and grief. This book contains answers to questions about life's incidents and tragedies we can't explain in human terms. We will draw the curtain back on God's perspective and plan, and the spiritual warfare that is at play in all our lives. We cannot always see behind the scenes when events happen, but this book will give you hope and healing in knowing that God is in control and has a plan in it all.

This open access book explores epistemic justice in mental healthcare, bringing together perspectives from psychologists, psychiatrists, philosophers, activists, and lived experience researchers. Through eight chapters, authors identify threats to the agency of people who hear voices, experience depression, have psychotic symptoms, live with dementia, are diagnosed with personality disorders, and face serious mental health issues while receiving palliative care. Considering the power asymmetries in clinical interactions, where patients are vulnerable and healthcare professionals are uniquely placed to offer support, this book reaffirms the importance of recognizing patients as agents and collaborators. Topics covered include trust in the therapeutic relationship, dignity at the end of life, the social dimension of health, stigma in an acute ward, the harm caused by biases and stereotypes, the role of clinical communication, and the promise of digital health. Students, academic researchers, practitioners, as well as mental health charities will benefit from this timely collection.

The mind is like the stomach: Anything not digested may come back and repeat on you. Much like this afternoon’s egg salad, you can still taste it, at least until it’s satisfactorily digested. Food in the stomach can only stay undigested for eight to ten hours, though, whereas the mind can hold onto unprocessed material forever. You are in no danger of re-experiencing the piping hot pepperoni pizza that you devoured in third grade, but, if that same pizza was hurled in your face by the class bully, you might still be experiencing that event tonight, tomorrow, maybe for the rest of your life.If any such traumas are repeating on you, Dr. Chris Cortman has good news. It’s treatable (curable) immediately. He has used the guided imagery technique successfully after rape, incest, abduction, fatal car accidents, natural disasters like hurricanes, and even attempted cult sacrifice. Dr. Cortman has used guided imagery to help patients say goodbye to suicided family members, abandoning fathers, smoking cessation, pornography consumption, and adult children who died by drug overdose. This book will feature the origins of guided imagery, the legendary founder of Gestalt therapy, Fritz Perls. The Guided Imagery Cure will also present case studies of all kinds and share how one guided imagery session transformed these patients’ lives and alleviated their suffering. This technique can help you too: let Dr. Cortman show you how in The Guided Imagery Cure.

Got endometriosis? You should have a baby!Painful post-birth prolapse? Well, you had a baby. Let down by doctors? Try our wellness candle!Episiotomy scar? Why not trim your labia too?It's a stitch-up. And we demand better. As Emma was being sewn up following the birth of her second child, the midwife paused, looked up and said the worst thing anyone has ever said to her: 'Your vagina's fallen out.'After receiving a vague diagnosis of 'prolapse', she spent the next two years being shunted between specialists. The solutions on offer ranged from kegels to hysterectomy and even labia trimming. Some doctors simply shrugged and said there was nothing they could do. Women around her spoke of similar experiences: mothers told that pain was the price of parenthood; trans women blamed for 'wanting a vagina in the first place'; Black women disbelieved and dismissed; intersex people lied to by their doctors. The mesh scandal that injured thousands. The 'love doctor' who performed nonconsensual vaginal surgeries. Over and over again, Emma heard stories of women in pain, bleeding, dying, failed by the professionals who were supposed to help them. Medical misogyny kills, and leaves many more in agony, unable to live full lives. The Stitch-Up tells their stories, and calls for better research, healthcare options, language and treatment, arguing that being female should never be a death sentence.
