Osvaldo,

That's very odd. The Kindle version was there when I added the shortened URL to my post referring to it.

Maybe knows what's happened or can find out.

Cheers,

Stan

a little about me: I'm the mother of a fantastic 11 year old girl and the partner of the love of my life, Steve. We live in a coastal fishing village in northern New South Wales, Australia.

If you want, you can learn a bit more about my life by going to www.youtube. com and putting s Head For the Hills in the searchbar. It's an 8 minute 'award winning' film (I love putting 'award winning'! and it's true!)

I've been working with an ACT therapist for a couple of years now. I combine it with swapping 'listening time' with two other people twice a week on the phone, which really helps. My biggest difficulty is with defusion but I'm getting there lately. I really enjoyed the book, My Stroke of Insight by Jill Bolte-, the neurosurgeon who had a stroke and recovered. She showed me that our right brain is where our connection to the universe resides (I'm sure it's not the only place, I've heard some people put their attention on the left side of their body) but for me the brain's the thing and I am putting up little pictures of brains around the house to remind me (mindfulness) and defuse me from left brain chatter.

I carry the labels at the moment of ptsd and complex ptsd. About a year ago I went on the disability pension, which I found validated my current life experience as a result of my childhood experience. I don't plan to be on it forever but it's useful at the moment.

that's all for now.

Great to know you're all out there, or in here, or whatever

Cheers

, that is an awesome video; no wonder it won an award.  You are brave to share your story so openly.  I love the artistry that various people created using the same background template. I loved the music, too, and found the artist and CD on Amazon.com.  It's the kind of music that would lift your spirits when you feel you are all alone in the world, or just to keep on as a soothing background while reading, etc.

 

Can you say a little more about swapping " listening time " and how that works?  I'd love to be involved with something like that.

 

Thanks,

Helena

thank you Bill. At the website, www.mystrokeofinsig ht.com, I've noticed a forum where people are posting their own ways of accessing the right brain (mindfulness activities), which I've found useful to read through.

cheers
