Based on years of experience with patients yielding proven results, Doris Wild Helmering, psychotherapist & columnist, teaches readers how to develop their sense of awareness by understanding the emotions which engulf each one of us & by becoming an impartial observer of the self. Using exercises & strategies developed in her practice, Helmering presents critical questions each of us must resolve about our own human nature in order to unleash its highest powers. Some questions include: Am I inner-directed or outer-directed? Do I know how to love? Do I get too angry? How do I handle suffering & disappointment? Do I monitor & direct my thoughts? Am I a critical person? Am I aware of my psychological boundary lines? Am I a controlling person? Can I override genes & other influences? How envious & jealous am I? Do I suffer from anxiety or depression? Do I talk to God? Do I feel oneness? Using stories & anecdotes from people she has worked with & helped, Helmering demonstrates the many benefits of activating one's sense ability: improved relationships, peace of mind, achieving personal satisfaction & fulfillment in many areas of life.
