    Alice in Wonderland Syndrome: Experiencing Complex PTSD, Trauma, Anxiety, Depersonalization, Derealization, and Migraines: Transcend Mediocrity, Book 101 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 27min
    Many people have heard of trauma and PTSD. But when we think of PTSD, many of us think of nightmares and flashbacks that are related to one traumatic incident or event that has been experienced by the sufferer. There is another form of PTSD that's related to being exposed to repetitive trauma. It is called Complex PTSD, coined by a woman named Judith Herman. In this audiobook, we will first explain Complex PTSD and trauma as it relates to Alice in Wonderland Syndrome (AIWS). We will also discuss how AIWS relates to migraines, stress, and food intolerances. We will then touch base on who exactly is prone to experience Alice in Wonderland Syndrome, what the symptoms are, and how one can seek relief from this mysterious brain disturbance. What is Complex PTSD? How does it relate to Alice in Wonderland Syndrome? Complex PTSD is a disorder which alters a person's cognitive state, personality, and emotional states due to repeated exposure to events in which the person feels incapable or helpless. These events can be an abusive romantic relationship or childhood physical abuse. Traumatic events can include a death, an infidelity, a complicated birth, a medical or mental illness, a job loss, and many other events. Events that cause people stress and dysfunction can also include natural disasters, school bullying, rape, theft, mugging, automobile accidents, and physical injury. PTSD or Complex PTSD can be caused by nearly any event in which a person feels an overall lack of control in reference to what is occurring. They feel hopeless, helpless, weak, or powerless during the event because of circumstances or actions that may be out of their control. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Carl Moore.

    The Raven Affair , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 546min
    It's about a hunt for a real life mass murderer. Anton has been on the run for 20 years, one step ahead of Interpol. Italy, Spain, Ireland, and now America. The Interpol agents chasing him would never suspect that one of their trusted number is Raven, a ruthless, high-priced assassin. Romance, betrayal, and murder are intertwined so tightly that no one can detect the invisible web of circumstances that connects the innocent people to the vicious criminals. It's only a matter of time until everything comes apart... Excerpt Dancer from The Crazy Horse Cabaret found shot to death. Early Saturday morning, about four a.m., the body of a young woman was discovered by police officer Jacque Prevot on Avenue Victor Hugo, while on his nightly patrol duty. She'd been shot once in the head and was found on the pavement next to her car. The police identified the woman as the 24 year old dancer-performer, Mlle Ricky Bower. Formerly from Medellin, Columbia, she has been residing in an apartment on Avenue Victor Hugo for the past year. The motive for the murder is presently unknown. Her handbag contained all her documents and 5,000 francs in cash, as well as the keys to her 1971 red Porsche Carrera. The possibility of a mugging has been eliminated. None of her relatives are known to reside in France. She had no known male friends. Her latest employment contract was with the famed Crazy Horse cabaret. The management of the cabaret spoke highly of her talents and beauty. They agreed that this is a great loss for the Paris nightlife scene. According to her co-workers, Mlle Bower was well liked by patrons and employees alike, and she was extremely popular among the cabaret clientele. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gregg A.

    My Time Will Come: A Memoir of Crime, Punishment, Hope, and Redemption
    The inspiring story of activist and poet Ian Manuel, who at the age of fourteen was sentenced to life in prison. He survived eighteen years in solitary confinement-through his own determination and dedication to art-until he was freed as part of an incredible crusade by the Equal Justice Initiative. "Ian is magic. His story is difficult and heartbreaking, but he takes us places we need to go to understand why we must do better. He survives by relying on a poetic spirit, an unrelenting desire to succeed, to recover, and to love. Ian's story says something hopeful about our future." -Bryan Stevenson, author of Just Mercy The United States is the only country in the world that sentences thirteen- and fourteen-year-old offenders, mostly youth of color, to life in prison without parole. In 1991, Ian Manuel, then fourteen, was sentenced to life without parole for a non-homicide crime. In a botched mugging attempt with some older boys, he shot a young white mother of two in the face. But as Bryan Stevenson, attorney and executive director of the Equal Justice Initiative, has insisted, none of us should be judged by only the worst thing we have ever done. Capturing the fullness of his humanity, here is Manuel's powerful testimony of growing up homeless in a neighborhood riddled with poverty, gang violence, and drug abuse-and of his efforts to rise above his circumstances, only to find himself, partly through his own actions, imprisoned for two-thirds of his life, eighteen years of which were spent in solitary confinement. Here is the story of how he endured the savagery of the United States prison system, and how his victim, an extraordinary woman, forgave him and bravely advocated for his freedom, which was achieved by an Equal Justice Initiative push to address the barbarism of our judicial system and bring about "just mercy." Full of unexpected twists and turns as it describes a struggle for redemption, My Time Will Come is a paean to the capacity of the human will to transcend adversity through determination and art-in Ian Manuel's case, through his dedication to writing poetry.

    American Legends: The Life of Josephine Baker , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 91min
    I have walked into the palaces of kings and queens and into the houses of presidents. And much more. But I could not walk into a hotel in America and get a cup of coffee, and that made me mad. - Josephine Baker "Surely the day will come when color means nothing more than the skin tone, when religion is seen uniquely as a way to speak one's soul, when birth places have the weight of a throw of the dice and all men are born free, when understanding breeds love and brotherhood." - Josephine Baker From a young girl growing up in the slums of Missouri who hired herself out as a maid at 12 to provide for her younger siblings to the lead dancer in the Folies Bergere idolized by Parisians, Josephine Baker danced to the beat of her own drum. Undeniably she possessed an innate charisma, but she also went out of her way to make an audience notice her. As a chorus girl in Harlem, she might have remained a bit player, but Josephine would break out of the line, crossing her eyes and mugging funny faces, all the while ignoring the other girls' synced steps, to dance in her own wild and unique style. She faced injustice and discrimination at many junctures of her life, but Josephine Baker, rather than succumbing to these setbacks, determinedly fought against them. During World War II, she enlisted as a member of the Resistance, mysteriously turning up in Morocco when many thought she had died. She also joined the fight for Civil Rights in the US, becoming such an instrumental figure that soon after Martin Luther King's assassination, his widow asked her to return to the US and serve as the new leader of the movement. Josephine fought oppression, but she never lost her gaiety or joie de vivre. She was devoted to her career, but she was equally devoted to the 12 children of various ethnicities she adopted, dubbed the "Rainbow Tribe". In the 1960s, Josephine suffered illnesses and setbacks that left in dire financial straits, and in 1968, the wo ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bambi Lynn Augustin.
