Bøger af Dawn Bennett

A Discovered Life alerts the reader to missed opportunities and reasons to say yes, rather than no. Finding your own best path is often about releasing what you were taught. Many families have wonderful traditions and celebrations, but hidden prejudices may be powerful and difficult to face without terrible emotional wounding. The divisions in our current world are demanding to be explored, and we may be too afraid of alienation in order to do so. Self-love often requires a brave stance when we are finding our true identity. Dawn Bennett wants us to know and reveal ourselves in ways that may be aggravating to others, and we find ways to question more, and react less. Her model for self-disclosure can bring closeness and intimacy, as well as the questioning of beliefs and habits. This book is a private exploration of relationship successes and failures, as Dawn also delves into religion and explores what beliefs she rejected and why.

We need touch to thrive individually and communally, but it's not simple in a culture where the topic has become triggering, confusing, and even taboo.Having grown up in an era when it was okay to give hugs to teachers and where touch warnings were only about getting into trouble sexually, Dawn Bennett intuitively knew the healing power of touch and pursued a career in massage and the healing arts. After eleven years of serving touch-deprived and -traumatized clients, and building an award-winning practice in a touch-focused industry, Dawn suffered a painful touch incident of her own. In The Touch Crisis, Dawn shares her personal journey to healing, the startling research she found along the way, and the abundant tools she has collected to give readers a new pathway to personal and collective healing in their families, workplaces, and communities. By the end of this book, you will have the opportunity to: -Uncover the roots of your touch experience and needs -Strategize ways to add healthy touch into your daily life -Develop boundaries to honor your wants and needs and help you heal old touch wounds -Practice consent and communication with loved ones in a playful and positive way -Increase levels of trust, collaboration, and even productivity in your personal and professional relationships. If you are craving healthy touch, or looking for "that missing piece" in your attempt to improve relationships and results with your loved ones, peers, or clients, this book will answer questions you don't know you have and empower you to catalyze deeper connections with everyone whose life you touch. "No-Touch" policies are not the answer. Together, we can use the power of touch to heal and change the experience from taboo to transformational.
