From Anger to Peace of Mind -  “Dr. Deepak Chopra once told me that he thought the single most common and direct cause of illness was anger. If this is true, Dr. Brenda Shoshanna has got to be a great healer. In her book and program, The Anger Diet, not only does she present the most complete and compelling description of the many forms of anger, but she also tells you how to treat each one of them. If you suffer from any form of anger, and who among us does not, then you must read The Anger Diet. It’s a life-changing experience.” R. Winn Henderson, M.D. Host of the International Radio Talk Show, Share Your Mission,

From Anger to Peace of Mind provides a clear understanding of what anger is, how it works, why and when it appears and how it camouflages itself and takes hold of our life.     

In this program we see how anger is a choice we make and why it is so toxic. We explore the 24 forms of anger, the lies anger tells us, the addiction to anger, what to do when you’re the subject of anger and the emergency technique. We find out what the anger diet actually is, how to give up one form of anger a day and replace it with a healthy, constructive, life giving antidote, which dissolves anger on the spot.              

This powerful program can not only change your life, but build your immune system, lower your blood pressure and make you feel and look younger on the spot.

Transforming Your Relationships: A New Look at Love - Contrary to popular opinion, real love never hurts. It’s only the confused expectations and illusions we have about it that cause difficulty. We would not dream of building a house without an architect’s plan. Yet we enter into relationships without knowing how to create a structure that will keep our relationships strong. But falling in love doesn’t mean being blind or entering into fantasy. It means waking up out of dreams to finally see the beauty that surrounds us. In this program, we learn the difference between real and counterfeit love, discover relationship balancing and explore the steps which allow us to fall in love not only with a person, but with all of life                         

In this program you will learn a completely different way of looking at relationships and we will learn a new means of coping with the usual trouble spots in relationships, from miscommunication, insecurity, boredom to jealousy, infidelity, lies and rejection. Through simple, enjoyable exercises, we become able to suspend judgment, become vulnerable, allow ourselves to explore, play, laugh, cry, and embrace the world as full of endless possibilities.     

Some of the topics covered include:   a)Becoming available – b)Releasing control –c)Being There for Others –d) Letting go of Inappropriate Expectations, e)The Process of Acknowledgment, f)Respect for Self and Others, g) Building Trust – h)Dealing with Blows.  

The Perfect Person: Who and Where Are They - We are all searching for the perfect person, whether in business, relationships, family or as friends. Not only that, we demand that perfection from ourselves as well and often feel like a failure, no matter what. Needless to say, this search for perfection goes on forever. Sometimes we feel we have found the perfect person, only to be disappointed again.

This program explores the way this search affects our lives and how to put it to an end. We look at what it truly means to be perfect and replace it with steps to becoming a true friend. As we learn to become our own best friend, we can then naturally become a friend to others as well. As we see who we truly are behind the masks we wear, we get a taste of what is of true value. Then it becomes a simple matter to find perfection in everyone who comes along. The talk will show you how.

This wonderful program is a sure fire antidote to depression, anxiety, feelings of hopelessness, despair and problems of all kinds.
