Years of sobriety means you never quite thinking about how to grow. It means a continuous process of working through your doubts and facing your fears. True sobriety really does show up as serenity and a soundness of mind, body, spirit, and emotions. The guidance of Martial Arts teaches the disciplines necessary to become the best possible version of ourselves. Each tenet of the martial arts and the character traits which I believe are necessary for strong character development are found in this book along with words used to describe the virtues that help one practice sobriety and lead a happier, more fulfilled life. Written by a martial artist and long-time practitioner of the Twelve Steps, this book gives you strategies and ideas which will help you in your own personal journey towards sobriety and wellness. Sponsors who have themselves effectively studied and applied Steps Six and Seven of the Twelve Steps will understand the value of this book. Emotional Sobriety will guide you through this most vital phase in a sponsor's journey of personal growth and change utilizing the Twelve Steps. Substance abuse counselors, life coaches, and mentors will also find this a helpful collaborative piece when working with those in recovery from substance abuse. The goal is to help you reach a more powerful understanding of sobriety, common sense, and the life principles and practices that will help guide serenity and empower you to not only live happier and healthier, but also to lead a life that is in service to others.

Transformational Piano Teaching: Mentoring Students from All Walks of Life examines the concept of the piano teacher as someone who is more than just a teacher of a musical skill, but also someone who wields tremendous influence on the development of a young person's artistic and empathic potential, as well as their lifelong personal motivational framework. The specific attributes of today's students are explored, including family and peer influences from interpersonal relationships to social media. Additionally, students from specific circumstances are discussed, including those with special needs such as Autism Spectrum Disorders, ADHD, and Depression. Finally, motivation of a teacher's students is related to a teacher's own motivation in their work, as a cycle of positivity and achievement will be recommended as a way to keep an instructor's work fresh and exciting.

This is the eBook of the printed book and may not include any media, website access codes, or print supplements that may come packaged with the bound book. Developed by a professor who has been teaching a popular and innovative wellness counseling course for over a decade, this new text is organized into a format specifically designed to meet the needs of both counselor education graduate students and their teachers — making both teaching and learning the material easier and more intuitive. Giving a general but comprehensive overview of the subject of wellness, Wellness Counseling offers students a compelling balance of the science and research in the field, the theories that have emerged from this research, and the practical applications that we can take away from practicing these theories. Holistic, scientific, and ultimately concerned with the humanity of counseling, this text strives to be inclusive — especially of the psychological and social aspects of wellness that have gained more attention in recent years. The book is organized in three main sections. While Section One is concerned with the background of wellness as a healthcare paradigm in the United States and major theories of wellness, and historical context for wellness, Section Two contains specific information on the social, physical, emotional, and cognitive domains of wellness. The last main section of the book synthesizes the first two sections of the book to extract practical applications of wellness in behavioral healthcare intervention counseling.
