No matter how difficult it might seem, change is always positive.
Life Matters: Stories of Transition, Healing, and Hope, by
psychiatrist and interfaith minister Abigail Brenner tackles the
transitions in our lives and shows how they can empower us. Brenner
moves through all cycles of life, letting the people going through
these transitions tell their own stories. A young parent adjusts to
life with a newborn. A young adult, ready to move out and make a
new life, finds her own voice. From the stress of moving from a
familiar place to an unfamiliar one, to finding the job that feeds
your soul as well as your wallet, Life Matters shows you how you
can get through these changes and come out on the other side a
better person. Learn to chart your feelings, advises Brenner.
Assert yourself and get the support you need. For true healing to
occur, she states, you must become an active participant and
advocate of your own wellness. The key lies in the pursuit of
balance within the self: taking care of your body, having an
optimistic attitude about yourself and life, and connecting to a
source of spiritual belief. A physical crisis has the enormous
potential of becoming a healing moment. " Do not shy away from your
own light," says Brenner. Life is all about change and this warm
and inspirational book can help you make the most of all your
transitions.
From the foreword by Bernie Siegel, MD: "When something happens
to alter our life or we learn something new, we have to begin a new
life if we are to survive...It is not an accident that the
universal therapeutic theme is for all of us to be born again and
the changes and transitions of life become the labor pains of
self-birth and worth the experience, since they create a new you."

Praise for Life Matters---
" Most people live their lives according to Mark Twain's comment,
'I'm all for progress; it's change I don't like.' In Life Matters:
Stories of Transition, Healing, and Hope, Dr. Abigail Brenner shows
how embracing life's passages can lead to transformation and
fulfillment, and how we can summon the courage to live life more
fully." Larry Dossey, MD Author: Healing Words and The Power of
Premonitions
" To be alive is to go through one phase after another, some large
and some small. This insightful book will help you change
thoughtfully. It will help you to be changed and not just go
through the motions and the struggles. It will help you be vital
and engaged in all areas of life. The transitions are the tough
spots. Keep this book handy for them." Thomas Moore Author: Care of
the Soul and A Life at Work
Throughout their lives, women go through big changes, but what
makes some women embrace these moments while others feel as if they
are about to fall apart? Psychiatrist Abigail Brenner believes that
the answer lies in how we consciously mark these changes and allow
them to change us. Full of personal stories and case histories,
Transitions explores the passages that are meaningful to
contemporary women and then supplies the tools, creative projects,
and rituals to honor these occurrences. Full of provocative
discussions, inspiring personal stories and anecdotes from Brenner,
Transitions is dedicated to helping women identify, respond to, and
celebrate their times of growth.
Life is all about change. We may be afraid of it. We may try to
avoid it. But no matter how we view it, change is going to come our
way. SHIFT: How to Deal When Life Changes, by Abigail Brenner,
M.D., is a practical, user-friendly manual for anyone who seeks to
understand the nature, the stages, and the emotions of change and
transition, and wants to make the most of the changes he or she
experiences. Whether change comes unexpectedly or through our own
actions, SHIFT reveals and demonstrates how change presents our
greatest opportunities for self-transformation.In easy-to-grasp
language, SHIFT explores brainwave research, the vital role of the
subconscious, and the predictability of the patterns of
change---which assure us that life does unfold in ways that can be
understood and managed. At the core of SHIFT, however, are
thought-provoking and soul-searching questions and exercises that
lay the groundwork for successfully mastering change.Can we learn
to grow from change? We can, if we know how to SHIFT.
