Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. When we opened the call for Vice Noir, I wrote: "The protagonist I am looking for in Vice Noir is a little different than the standard noir central character. Your standard noir detective knows the abyss and has armoured himself against it. He fights monsters, because someone has to, and his moral code demands that someone stand in the breach. His moral code is more externally focused: 'Someone has to do it.' The Vice Noir protagonist, on the other hand, has looked into the abyss . and the abyss winked. He lives in the bright sunshine, among pretty people - because the night, the alleys, and the adrenaline are way too attractive, too addictive, too comfortable . and he knows it. He is Sonny Crockett, living on a yacht with a gator named Elvis; he is Fiddler, in his beach cottage, with his lime tree, and his koi; both of them trying to build up the antibodies before the abyss whispers, and they leap headlong. Again."Of the forty stories I received, I had to pick ten that conveyed the spirit I was looking for; and I'm not going to lie - it was damned difficult doing so.I hope this selection hits the right notes. If it does, that's all on the authors. If not, that's all on me.Buckle up, gentle readers. Grab your Ray-Bans, fire up your 1980s pop hits, and get ready to smile back when the teeth come out.I give you: Vice Noir. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Why do some adults find profound comfort in pacifiers, plush toys, or children's cartoons? Why does stress sometimes make us feel smaller, younger, more vulnerable? And why is this experience so widely misunderstood?When the Mind Goes Small is the first comprehensive, evidence-based guide to understanding age regression as an adaptive stress regulation strategy. Written for people who experience regression, their supporters, and mental health professionals, this book replaces stigma with science and judgment with practical frameworks.What You'll Learn: - The neuroscience behind why childhood-coded comfort objects remain effective across the lifespan- How classical and operant conditioning create associations your nervous system recognizes decades later- Why stress narrows cognitive capacity and pulls you toward simpler, younger-feeling states- The difference between voluntary small-state (planned, restorative) and involuntary regression (overwhelm-driven)- When childhood-coded tools help versus harm, and how to prevent avoidance patterns- Practical protocols for oral comfort, soft anchors, bedtime rituals, and low-demand activities- Public-friendly stand-ins and containment strategies for school, work, and social settings- How to build sustainable routines with clear entry, exit, and aftercare plans- Evidence-based support guidance for parents, partners, therapists, teachers, and friendsWho This Book Is For: - Teens and adults who experience age regression, whether voluntary or involuntary- People who use childhood-coded comfort tools and want to understand why they help- Parents of teens or adult children who regress and need accurate information- Partners and friends seeking to support without pathologizing- Mental health professionals looking for evidence-based frameworks- Educators who work with students who occasionally present as younger than their chronological ageThe Science-Over-Stigma Approach: This book does not pathologize age regression. It offers a clear-eyed look at how the nervous system learns comfort, why early associations remain powerful, and how to use that knowledge intentionally. Research-backed explanations sit alongside practical protocols, safety considerations, and dignity-preserving language.What Makes This Book Different: - First comprehensive book to treat age regression as legitimate stress regulation- Integrates neuroscience, conditioning theory, attachment research, and sensory processing- Practical worksheets and safety protocols in every practical chapter- Addresses both voluntary use and involuntary regression- Public-friendly micro-tools for contexts where full props aren't accessible- Accessible language without sacrificing scientific accuracy- Six dedicated support chapters-practical guidance without condescensionIf you've ever felt too big for your body during stress, or too small for the world's expectations-if you've hidden comfort practices out of shame-this book is for you. Understanding replaces judgment. Science replaces stigma. Practical tools replace guesswork.You are not broken. Your nervous system is doing exactly what it learned to do.
