"Like Virginia Satir herself -- who successor she ultimately became -- Maria Gomori firmly believes and teaches her students that unselfish, loving relationships with good and wise persons can heal and transform us more effectively than anything else in life." -- John Rossner, Ph.D., D. Little, President, International Institute of Integral Human Sciences. Although her life has been dangerous, dramatic, and tragic at times, Maria does not carry her history as a burden....She relates it in a deeply personal way that fosters enrichment and inspiration for those who hear it. -- Linda Lee Nicholls, Friend and colleague. This book is compelling. It will truly amaze and inspire you. You will not be able to put it down. -- Manuel Matas, M.D., Psychiatrist.

by Yetta Bernhard Yetta Bernhard, who is in her 90's, has given Avanta as a gift her new edited book on self-care. This book has Yetta's wisdom and several "self exploration practical exercises" that you can use for yourself, clients and workshops. The book is printed in a workbook format that will make it easy to use. With the permission of Yetta and Avanta you can reproduce any page for professional use. As Yetta wrote I cannot emphasize enough the task of taking self care seriously. This means, first of all, to become acquainted with yourself -- to acknowledge weaknesses as part of your humanity--not as an insult to it--and cherish and build on your strengths--not as an indulgence in vanity but an act of self-respect. To really act as if you respect yourself is not an easy job. There is no easy way to get from one emotional state to another. I insist you be worth the pain of any necessary change. Can you say the same? If not--act as if you are. The ability to change and learn is a lifetime process. It is very difficult to ask for what you want since we have been conditioned to do for others and not for oneself. I am suggesting an about face in order to do better for others on a sounder basis. There is a mine of creativity potential in every human being. Prod conscientiously to find your own mine of resources. S9609 $35.00 Not in Stock. SPECIAL ORDER |
