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

In pursuit of higher earnings, Key spreads his ring of prostitutes and thieves across the country. When tragedy strikes his camp in New Orleans, he gains some unwanted attention from the US Justice Department.

As federal agents begin to close in on him and two of his closest associates, their case appears to be airtight while the charges continue to pile up.

The Marshmallow Test: Mastering Self-Control

Renowned psychologist Walter Mischel, designer of the famous Marshmallow Test, explains what self-control is and how to master it.

A child is presented with a marshmallow and given a choice: Eat this one now, or wait and enjoy two later. What will she do? And what are the implications for her behavior later in life?

The world’s leading expert on self-control, Walter Mischel has proven that the ability to delay gratification is critical for a successful life, predicting higher SAT scores, better social and cognitive functioning, a healthier lifestyle and a greater sense of self-worth. But is willpower prewired, or can it be taught?

In The Marshmallow Test, Mischel explains how self-control can be mastered and applied to challenges in everyday life—from weight control to quitting smoking, overcoming heartbreak, making major decisions, and planning for retirement. With profound implications for the choices we make in parenting, education, public policy and self-care, The Marshmallow Test will change the way you think about who we are and what we can be.
