Produktbeschreibung

"There is great tension that so many of us feel within our private, inner spaces. I am deeply worried by our tendency to repress our emotional struggles and then unleash them into the environment with our behaviour, affecting the lives of those around us. I have committed my childhood, my education and my study to what I care about most: the behaviours and the fallout that come from our tendency to want a better life for ourselves, to want a better world to live in, yet be unable to let go of our pain to make it possible.

For eleven years I lived and studied the phenomenon that is the construction of self-loathing. I have learnt that we humans are inordinately powerful. Everything we are filled with-in our heads and our hearts-drives our actions, and all that we do in the world helps to shape a world we all share. Your mind is strong, resourceful, astonishing and magnificent. It is, in part, who you are, and it does matter what you decide to do with it." Krista Fuller.

The Outsider's Inn calls us to break out of the socially constructed myth that we are not powerful enough to influence or impact upon our world. It is a mental health and suicide prevention early intervention effort that can build resilience, promote good mental health, create public awareness, provide information, encourage help-seeking, increase identification of people at risk and improve community strength and capacity around self-love and self-worth. This is a resource for young adults to explore deeply important and often taboo subjects. It is an insight of great value for parents into the psychology and structure of the mind, and of the societies these minds create. It is a resource for general practitioners and counsellors to better understand and help their patients in emotional and psychological pain.

"Krista is a brave and insightful writer who draws on her own personal story that makes her book a powerful resource for her reader. I believe her heartfelt words will help many individuals, couples, families and those working in the field of emotional health and wellbeing look at these complex life issues from a refreshingly new perspective. Congratulations Krista, your book is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the wonderful resilience of the human spirit, even in the most seemingly dire of consequences." - Cynthia Morton, Author, Australian of the Year, Prime Minister's Award for Excellence, Pride of Australia Medal

Autorenporträt

What I wake up for every day is to participate in a full force, back stage, groupie-fest on life. What's it all about? Who's got their hands on the wheel? Who's nodding off in the back seat? Who's writing the rule book? Who approved the edits and has the author been given the heads up that someone is tinkering with the facts?! Which really goes to the heart of it all. What are the facts? What is truth? What is real? What can be trusted? Who and why are we? Without knowing the answers to these question we're at the mercy of others to decide our fate. Ever felt like a piece of wet toast on the chopping block of life? The fallout is evident at almost every turn. I have been cutting my teeth on these ponderings for more than three decades, starting with poetry at 16, which I have never stopped writing. I hit the University of Queensland to do a B.A. in Psychology and Philosophy in my 30s because in my 20s I was very busy being a disco singer who toured the East Coast of Australia in a pink convertible Volkswagen Beetle. After teaching English in Japan and then finishing my psychology & philosophy degree, I spent eight years researching and writing my book on a social response to suicide prevention. I have done over a decade of therapy using Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) and also threw in the completion of a three year mentorship with a Shamanic teacher during that time. I have an obsessive passion for dismantling the abuse of power, undermining manipulative marketing, ending the rein of personal disempowerment, flattening the curve on inter-generational trauma and taking the Yellow Brick Road all the way up to the Emerald Castle to find out who we really are. I live to pull back the veil and look behind the scenes to strengthen ourselves against the twists and turns of life, while singing, dancing, laughing and swearing at every opportunity along the way. In simple terms...Find the Vibe to Thrive.
