The Awakening Storm: A Rousing Journey through Life's Tempests and Disasters

In every storm, there is a call to awaken.\nEvery day, people bemoan the serious problems plaguing our country and wonder, "What can I possibly do about them?" This introspective book by Anne Redelfs, MD answers that question. The first in a new series, The Awakening Storm is a must-read for anyone who wishes to understand why we think, feel, and behave as we do -- and most importantly, how we can make vital changes.\nAs we follow Redelf's urgent evacuation from New Orleans as Hurricane Katrina approaches, we become aware that we all psychologically evacuate from aspects of our humanity to avoid trauma. Her experiences with Levee Disaster survivors reveal how severe abuse and neglect can overwhelm our developing psyches.\nProfessional yet personal, The Awakening Storm is invaluable for all of us wanting to reach our full human potential. We gain a clear picture of the psychological causes of our personal, family, community and national problems, as well as their solutions.
