Broken circle : the dark legacy of Indian residential schools / by Fontaine, Theodore,1941-author.; Woolford, Andrew John,1971-writer of foreword.;
"A new commemorative edition of Theodore Fontaine's powerful, groundbreaking memoir of survival and healing after years of residential school abuse. Originally published in 2010, Broken Circle: The Dark Legacy of Indian Residential Schools chronicles the impact of Theodore Fontaine's harrowing experiences at Fort Alexander and Assiniboia Indian Residential Schools, including psychological, emotional, and sexual abuse; disconnection from his language and culture; and the loss of his family and community. Told as remembrances infused with insights gained through his long healing process, Fontaine goes beyond the details of the abuse that he suffered to relate a unique understanding of why most residential school survivors have post-traumatic stress disorders and why succeeding generations of Indigenous children suffer from this dark chapter in history. With a new foreword by Andrew Woolford, professor of sociology and criminology at the University of Manitoba, this commemorative edition will continue to serve as a powerful testament to survival, self-discovery, and healing"--

The autoimmune cure : healing the trauma and other triggers that have turned your body against you / by Gottfried, Sara,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.New York Times bestselling author Dr. Sara Gottfried reveals how trauma can rewire your body to trigger autoimmune diseases and provides a comprehensive plan to reset your immune system and finally heal. Autoimmune disease affects about one in ten Americans, or twenty-four million people, with prevalence increasing worldwide. But as Dr. Gottfried explains in this eye-opening new book, autoimmune disease may be even more pervasive than we realize-and its cause may surprise you. Conventional medicine falls short when it comes to both diagnosing and treating autoimmune disease. Many people suffer from mysterious symptoms ranging from severe fatigue to digestive problems, and don't realize their immune system is at the root of their symptoms. In her precision medicine practice, Dr. Gottfried noticed a seemingly unusual pattern: many of her patients who suffer from autoimmune disease and symptoms have a history of trauma. Emerging research shows that up to 80 percent of patients with autoimmune disease experienced significant emotional distress before getting sick. With 'The Autoimmune Cure', there is hope on the horizon. Dr. Gottfried has created a powerful program designed to break the vicious cycle of autoimmune disease, reset your immune system, and restore your health. The book offers a roadmap to lasting relief from autoimmune disease by addressing the underlying cause of the condition and healing the body, mind, and spirit.
