Awakening : A Holistic Approach to Managing Personal Stress

Combining the best of what is known about self-directed learning & small group educational experiences, AWAKENING is a personalized system of instruction offering ways to explore & enrich the total person, body-mind, psyche (soul) & spirit through meeting one's human needs. Each unit contains text, study guide questions, questions to stimulate small group discussion & individual exercises. Each unit builds upon the previous one guiding the adult learner in the art of self introspection & provides suggestions for meeting one's human needs to manage personal stress. Based on Dr. Stammer's research with women recovering from addiction to alcohol & adult children who are rebuilding shattered lives, this educational approach allows individualized time for in-depth exploration integrating one's life experience with the material presented. Many who have been introduced to AWAKENING agree that it augments the 12-steps of self-help programs. AWAKENING pays particular attention to the women's spiritual process which is different from men's. Table of Contents: Preface. Unit 1: Exploring the Meaning of Stress. Unit 2: The Anatomy of Stress.
