Are you worried about your son? Your grandson? Your young male clients? Our boys and young men have been crying out to us for help, but their cries are in the form of nature's alarms signaling their distress: Behavioral, learning, and emotional problems; behavioral and chemical addictions; failure-to-launch; gender dysphoria; apathy; violence and criminal behavior; and suicide.This book will bring you on a bewildering, breathtaking journey through the traumatic primal wounds suffered by our Millennial and Generation Z sons and the socio-political, digital, neuro-chemical, and endocrine dangers hijacking their holistic wellbeing. This journey takes mothers and fathers by the hand through step-by-step principles, actions, advocacy, and treatments that will actually help their sons heal.Nurturing and Empowering Our Sons provides the puzzle pieces, insights, and solutions missing from other books about boys. It shifts the focus from the problem being within the boy to our society being out of alignment with nature's intent for the boy's optimal development. It boldly tackles tough topics like male body shaming, male victims of sexual assault, circumcision, psychiatric drugging, sexism against males, the male suicide epidemic, and many more.This book covers historical, anthropological, scientific, socio-political, and current topics pertaining to our sons. It is written in a sensitive, conversational format, interwoven with graphics, lists, and resources. It also features insights and final interviews from Laurie's adoptive son, Brycen, an extreme child trauma victim who succumbed to suicide at age 23. Nurturing and Empowering Our Sons is a deep-dive into Laurie A. Couture's "nature's intent" philosophy. It offers hope and is packed with guidance on neuro-somatic trauma healing, attachment repair, unschooling, alternative education, holistic health practices, adjunct therapies, direct advocacy, opportunities for family fun and community involvement, and so much more! It covers boys ages pre-birth to mid-20s with mild, moderate, severe, and extreme behavioral healthcare needs and includes a special chapter for guiding the behavior of special needs sons without using behavioral modification techniques.NAEOS EndorsementsNurturing and Empowering Our Sons is a magnum opus on male health spanning 34 comprehensive and insightful chapters... and not holding back by tackling controversial and often underappreciated topics in boys and young men's lives such as male sexual abuse, male genital mutilation, and misandry.-James E.

At her mother's funeral, Gabrielle had a spiritual experience that left her reeling and set her on a heroine's journey to learn about both the scientific and mystical explanations of human consciousness. Gabrielle studied a dozen healing practices, from alternative medicine to yoga, including travel immersions in Europe, Asia and Africa. Over the next 10 years, her complex PTSD symptoms persisted. Little by little, Gabrielle's childhood experiences of domestic violence, and her parents' mental illnesses and addictions are revealed. At age 30, still grieving the loss of her mother and disgusted with the fact that she can't overcome her anxiety and depression, Gabrielle attempted to take her own life. Luckily, she survived and continued on her journey of healing and trauma recovery, earning a Ph.D. and becoming a professor of Holistic Medicine, with a dissertation on Women Healers. In this deeply personal and vulnerable account, Gabrielle reveals how childhood trauma impacts our physical and mental health - as well as our adult relationships. She explores how you are only as sick as your secrets and telling your story is the medicine that can save your life. All This Healing is Killing Me is a brave narrative that reckons with the hold of the past over the present, the mind over the body and celebrates one woman's ability to write herself a happy ending.
