Publisher's summary
Shed your shame. Renew your hope. Rediscover the parent you know you can be.
Is your parenting journey turning out differently than you imagined? You had so much love to give, but now you feel ashamed and bewildered by your lack of compassion. You may be experiencing blocked care—a self-protective mechanism in your nervous system that makes it difficult to connect with your child and maintain compassion. When it happens, it’s like your heart seems to have left the relationship. But the good news is you are not a bad parent. You can heal from blocked care, and compassion can be rekindled in your heart.
Written by two adoptive parents who have overcome blocked care, Reclaim Compassion answers the questions, “How did this happen?” and “Will it ever get better?” You’ll recognize yourself in the honest stories from the authors and other parents and come to realize that you are not alone. Rooted in faith and backed by neuroscience, this practical and powerful guide offers a simple step-by-step process for reclaiming compassion for your child and yourself.

The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

Words. We use them all the time, every day, mostly without giving them much thought at all. We take for granted that they’re here at our disposal whenever we need them. But if you’ve ever wished you could communicate more effectively, words are the place to start. It’s incumbent upon you to choose the best words to accomplish your goals, because how you choose to communicate influences—well, everything! The power of communication shapes our professional goals, our relationships, and our lives—so the words we choose to use carry a great deal of power.

Story
Spring, summer, winter, fall. Marriages are perpetually in a state of transition, continually moving from one season to another—perhaps not annually, as in nature, but just as certainly and consistently. The seasons of marriage come and go. Each one holds the potential for emotional health and happiness, and each one has its challenges. The purpose of this book is to describe these recurring seasons of marriage, help you and your spouse identify which season your marriage is in, and show you how to enhance your marriage in all four seasons.

Story
The adoption business was founded on secrecy and lies. American Baby lays out how a lucrative and exploitative industry removed children from their birth mothers and placed them with hopeful families, fabricating stories about infants' origins and destinations, then closing the door firmly between the parties forever. Adoption agencies and other organizations that purported to help pregnant women struck unethical deals with doctors and researchers for pseudoscientific "assessments," and shamed millions of women into surrendering their children.

Chika Jeune was born three days before the devastating earthquake that decimated Haiti in 2010. She spent her infancy in a landscape of extreme poverty, and when her mother died giving birth to a baby brother, Chika was brought to The Have Faith Haiti Orphanage that Albom operates in Port Au Prince. With no children of their own, the 40-plus children who live, play, and go to school at the orphanage have become family to Mitch and his wife, Janine. But at age five, Chika is suddenly diagnosed with something a doctor there says "no one in Haiti can help you with."

A Gentle Step by Step Path to Get My Life Back
Lisa and Melissa understand what it is like to be in blocked care, And, they have designed a gentle step by step path to overcome it; a path that helps us reclaim compassion for ourselves and for our kiddos.
I"m a TBRI Practitioner, but blocked care robbed me of my capacity to parent in a way that promotes healing in my children. In this book, Melissa and Lisa teach us how to "TBRI" ourselves. It is wonderful to hear their compassionate voices, giving us an understanding of Blocked Care and then leading us to see and meet our own needs so that we can see and meet the needs of our children.
Not every adoptive or foster parent falls into blocked care, but for those of us who do, Reclaim Compassion is a way out of the dark and back into life.

Adoption Parenting - Expectation vs Reality
The personal experiences of Lisa and Melissa paired with their knowledge create trust between their voices and the listener. They had my attention early in the book when they said, "We know that the gap between your expectations and reality can cause feelings of shame, fear or resentment." This book gives the experiences of many adoptive parents a name - blocked care - and helps us to feel less alone while reclaiming compassion (or understanding) for ourselves and our children.

Life changing book!
This book has been absolutely everything I needed in this season. After years of struggling through a very difficult adoption I don’t feel alone and have been given practical steps on what I can do to improve our situation. So thankful for the opportunity to listen to this book.

Every Foster/Adoptive Parent needs this book!
I read Reclaim Compassion when it was released in hard copy format, but listening through it again is such a great and needed refresher. It feels like sitting and having a cup of coffee with mentors. The overwhelming need to release shame as an adoptive mom was so needed. Listen to this book if you struggle to like your kid even though you love them. Listen to this book if you feel like no one understands your situation…because Lisa and Melissa have walked through this journey and have so much wisdom to share!
