About this listen
In this uniquely simple-to-understand book on family dynamics and generational healing from toxicity, James Jabaley integrates his philosophical journey of self-discovery and healing through education, recovery, therapy, and coping mechanisms.
I was an inquisitive kid and felt I needed to figure out the reasons for my depression and addiction problems, so I sought answers through an education in psychology combined with other coping mechanisms. I was a blue-collar kid in a family system of professionals.
Formal writing in psychology can be too complex for the average listener, and this book aims to make an understanding of behavior in relationships and self-care easier for the average person to understand.
After dealing with a childhood of depression and addictions, he was moved to share his thoughts in a hopeful, simple manner, so folks can understand more the effects and the scapegoat that the individual can have in a family environment, a community, and, ultimately, on society as a whole.
When I found out my disorders were a symptom of something much deeper, I went back to school to hopefully study what that deeper infection, if you will, might be, before it destroyed me and, ultimately, my family.
The disease exponentially multiplies itself, as the title suggests, through generations, so deeply it becomes virtually impossible to uncover the reality of the core problem to find solutions to living happy, healthy, productive lives.
The more he studied the illness, the clearer the situation became. Mental illness can be more deeply rooted genetically and familial; therefore, a generational healing is imperative. And generational and familial healing can only began in a journey of self-discovery.
It's not about blame. It's about learning who I am as an individual.

When you look around you, you see all these people happily in love and singing poems about the wonders of love. And then you are confused why you are not able to feel anything on those lines. All you feel is a pit in your stomach, a sense of fear and of always being on edge, but all you did was love, right? You did or are doing everything right, yet this “love” does not seem to be magical or does not seem to be healing you; rather, it appears to be destroying you by driving you crazy, and you notice that you have changed not for good.

This book covers all that you need to know about narcissistic abuse.

We have intrigued the topics of narcissism for decades, and social scientists now agree that the topic has become a new epidemic. The term narcissism started about 2000 years ago when Ovid wrote the Myth of the Narcissus, which tells the story of Narcissus, a beautiful Greek hunter who one day looks and loves his reflection in a water pool. He has his own appearance obsessed and can not leave his reflection until he dies. The concept of narcissism was first suggested by the famous psychoanalyst.

Success in work, love, and life depends on developing habits that activate the powerful prefrontal cortex when we need it most. Unfortunately, under stress, the human brain tends to revert to emotional habits we forged in toddlerhood: blame, denial, avoidance, reacting to a jerk like a jerk, and turning our connections into cold shoulders - or worse. In Soar Above, renowned relationship expert Dr. Steven Stosny offers a groundbreaking formula for building new, pressure-resistant habits.
