The Desire of the Soul – Love Between Soul Mates By Katerina Pitzner Published September 2017 195 pages
To the public Katerina Pitzner is a renowned diamond trader. In The Desire of the Soul she reveals for the first time how the spiritual world has always been part of her life. The book consists of Katerina’s own story about the love between soul mates that is sometimes strenuous – the overshadowing love and why it is often so complicated. How come this love is on the one hand the most beautiful but on the other a most painful meeting? And why does one fall for the wrong person at the worst possible time in one’s life? Based on her own life and the experiences of her clients, Katerina lets us in on her own love- as well as soul mates, her ups and downs, and why we meet the people we do, fall in love and stay in relationships that cause so much hardship and pain. And what this has all taught her.

From Shame to Strength By Louise Ariesen Rams 184 pages Published August 2017
In From Shame to Strength, Louise Ariesen Rams focuses on the notion of shame. Through the journey of understanding shame within herself as well as in others, Louise explores how shame is expressed and how to pay attention to and react appropriately to the feeling of shame – referring to the field of sociology and psychology, to everyday instances, numerous cultural phenomena and a theological approach to shame in our Western society today. Even though the feeling of shame is inevitable as well as universal, it is different what triggers shame in each of us – whether we are children, adolescents, men or women. As soon as we understand the underlying pain in shame we are able to show the world our light.

Sensitive Children By Athina Delskov and Lene Sonne 342 pages Published Sep. 2014
To be sensitive means that a person tackles sensory input with more nuances and greater depth than others, and up to 20% of all children can be characterized as sensitive. Sensitivity is not a diagnosis, but a temperament. Sensitive people are often very talented in many fields, but also more vulnerable. Many problems can therefore be avoided if one understands the sensitive sides better.
Sensitive Children is the first Danish book on the subject. The book contains, among other things, a questionnaire to determine whether or not your child is sensitive. The book gives solid advice, and answers questions, about how to support a sensitive child.
The book is based on a string of Danish cases about sensitive children and their parents, along with interviews with nurses, kindergarten teachers, teachers and psychologists, who all have worked with sensitivity. Sensitive Children is the first book in a series about sensitive people. Introduction to Sensitive Children, a compact and introductory version of the book will be published in April 2015. ∙ For more information contact siri@forlagetaronsen.dk ∙ www.forlagetaronsen.dk ∙ facebook.com/forlagetaronsen
