Empowerment Solutions With Dr. Friedemann

While grief and loss are normal parts of life, most of us feel overwhelmed and powerless when facing the death of anyone who has brought meaning to our lives. Yet, for many people who lose their pets, the grief is even deeper than it is for the death of a relative or friend. The pet represents complete and unconditional love, unlike many human relationships that may carry hidden agendas or old res...

The lack of confidence is one of the most common obstacles that prevent us from having success, fulfilling relationships and a general sense of joy and purpose in life.

And even if we become...

Most of us struggle at some point with the fact that our lives may be already half over. All of the sudden, we notice how gravity seems to have got a hold of our body, our energy seems to no longer be at our beck and call, and our memory has become a bit more porous.

Have you ever noticed that the holiday season doesn t necessarily bring out the best in us? Besides the fact the we are mostly overeating, overdoing and overgiving, many people feel that being around family and old friends make them revert backwards from a mature adult to a cranky teenager or a needy five-year old. So rather than buying more stuff for people, who already have everything, how about...

Do you struggle with organized religion? Are you turned off by the scandals surrounding the Catholic Church or how some religions, which are supposed to stand for love and compassion, become increasingly intolerant and prejudiced?

We all have dreams, goals and aspirations. And we probably have all encountered on our pursuits to success and happiness the biggest obstacle, which are two simple words: I can t.
