Empowerment Through Mastering Anxiety & Finding Your Assertive Voice

Praise For: Empowerment Through Mastering Anxiety & Finding Your Assertive Voice Read it, breathe it, imagine it, do it. This book will guide you on a new trajectory, one where you are the agent of change in spite of the past and no matter the fear. In a clear concise format, Dr. Welburn has created a masterful approach, based on extensive and integrated experience with the anxious and suffering mind. I have witnessed firsthand the value of this work as patients gain knowledge and power to embrace and grow from that which frightens. I highly recommend this book to both colleagues and patients alike. Dr. Joie Zegliniski, MD, FRCP Clinical Psychiatrist Reading this book has been life-changing for me. It’s a reference book on my shelf because I use it all the time in my own life and in my work as a pastoral care minister. Dr. Welburn uses straightforward, accessible language to describe the nature of anxiety and offers practical techniques for gaining a sense of empowerment in our lives. When he makes the connection between anxiety and the way we deal with people, a light bulb goes on. His description of passive and aggressive voices helps us to understand why some conversations can be so disheartening and problematic. I found it helpful to get practical tools on how to be assertive and respectful in everyday situations so that I am truthful to myself and others. I can attest to the sense of wholeness and confidence that comes when you tune into your own needs and wants and find a respectful way to express them to others. I won’t lend out my own copy so I have another just in case I want to share it with others. Rev. Dr. Christine Johnson This book is like The Human Beings Owners Manual. It is a good reminder for me to live from the inside out, with intention. The writing is clear, precise and has a natural flow to it; prose that reduces writing to its essential elements. Hemingway would have approved. Dr. Welburn’s book is science based, well laid out, informative and practical. It answers the questions ‘why’ and ‘how’ of trauma and recovery, a rare literary feat. John MacPhee, Teacher, ECL and Special Education Teacher

Empowerment Evaluation: Knowledge and Tools for Self-Assessment and Accountability

This outstanding group of evaluators from academia, government, nonprofits, and foundations explores empowerment evaluation, a method for using evaluation concepts, techniques, and findings to foster improvement and self-determination.

Empowerment Evaluation begins with an in-depth examination of this type of evaluation as it has been adopted in academic and foundation settings. The book then focuses on the various contexts in which empowerment evaluation is conducted, ranging from resistant environments (in which significant effort is required to move from passive-compliance orientations) to responsive environments (that already have a tradition of self-determination and community organizing). Interesting highlights concerning the role empowerment evaluation has played in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ substance abuse prevention programs are detailed throughout the book. The contributors also provide down-to-earth tools and technical assistance needed to conduct empowerment evaluation. This volume concludes with themes that emerge from the chapters and recommendations concerning next steps. This serves to strengthen the links between empowerment evaluation and community capacity building.

Prejudice is not easy to comprehend and having worked with young women for years, I know from experience, almost each one of them yearns for a better support system but are let down, time and again, sometimes even by their own families who fail to understand their needs or provide the much needed emotional support during their formative years,” says Rev. Dr. Edonna Alexandria, the author of the book. “The early years are the times when young women go through a myriad of emotions, making them vulnerable and liable to make mistakes they might later regret.

Dr. Edonna Alexandria is expected to emerge as a must-read for African girls throughout the Diaspora looking to build a meaningful foundation for a successful and happy life even if they are born with a dark complexioned skin. “What surprises me is so many dark-skinned young women are plagued by these issues and it saddens me to note, most of them are uninformed, either by their well meaning but inexperienced friends or family. This book, is very dear to my heart, and aimed to assist these youngsters through difficult times by helping them allay their fears and relieving their stress. As an author, I have taken a little liberty of weaving in some situations and circumstances which have been inspired by experiences of my own to make the narrative more engaging and realistic.

From Panic To Empowerment: How to stop pain and disease from taking over your life by connecting spirit, mind and body

How many times are you going to be duped by the hype, language and broken promises of our current medical model? At some point, you must realize that real healing is a personal experience that cannot be obtained by sitting in a doctors’ office waiting for another prescription and dreading a new diagnosis. You deserve health and the pursuit of happiness like the rest of us. But somehow your experience of having health and vitality is just something other people seem to have and not you. It’s not completely your fault that you are stuck in this rut of just surviving and not thriving. But it is your responsibility to get your life in order before it’s too late. The 3Rs Approach To Healing Dr. Stephanie shows you how to take your life back! She has a unique way of conveying the message that healing is a spirit, mind, and body experience. By creating a system called the 3 Rs Approach to Healing; she sets the record straight about why you are not well and how you can be. The 3 Rs Approach to Healing is a life hack tool based on the premise of connecting your spirit, mind, and body for healing by using a system that weaves a unique concept of Reflect, Reframe, Renew. Establishing ground rules for how you can take control of your health by learning to reflect, reframe and renew is the key to moving you from panic to empowerment. This concept may seem redundantly familiar if you have read other self-help books. But I assure you, this time, is the charm. Why do you panic? You panic because you feel like there is no hope. Neglecting your spirit, rehearsing old stories and bear hugging old belief systems is what leads to illness; that is the problem. You can fix that cycle of dysfunction by acknowledging you have a spirit, get a hold of your thoughts and old beliefs so your body can relax long enough to heal. Establish A Connection With Yourself Dr. Stephanie enthusiastically teaches you how to develop a relationship with yourself by inserting humorous stories and real client case studies as examples of the human condition. She recounts the death of her daughter and her sister, sharing insights on how her personal birth story led to the discovery of the 3Rs. Through her life dramas, Dr. Stephanie has discovered that her journey was to give hope. That is what’s conveyed in this book. Once you realize that your spiritual and mental blocks are what’s preventing physical healing, you have hope! That is why this book is different. You have an author that has walked in your shoes and suffered just like you. She has found peace of mind and is now sharing how she got it so that you can get it! In the pages of this book, you have a friend speaking with you candidly and openly about how life can be awesomely amazing if you just learn to settle your spirit and calm your mind so your body can heal. This work is so authentically in tune with your current reality. You needed someone who understood the struggle and had risen above it. Dr. Stephanie may have, an ND and Ph.D. in Natural Healing, a Master’s in Gerontology and a license to practice massage; but her relevance is about her ability to connect with you for healing and wholeness. A degree can’t offer that, but a genuine spirit can. Dr. Stephanie shares with you enthusiastically about what works in practice, not just what sounds good in theory. If it’s in this book; it is because the work has been done, and her insights changed people’s live.
