Empowerment Solutions With Dr. Friedemann

Whether you were the victim of emotional, physical or sexual abuse, whether you were molested as a child or tormented as an adult, the emotional and psychological wounds that have been inflicted on you, may have become a constant reminder of the traumas you went through. Despite your efforts to move beyond the past, the abuse may have become your identity, as you see yourself either as a victim or a survivor of the tribble things that were done to you.

But what if the pain others caused you could help you to remember your truth - and teach you how to love and appreciate yourself more?

Listen to Empowerment Radio this Thursday, October 3 at 9AM PT/Noon ET and learn how to de-identify from trauma and abuse and reclaim your wholeness within.

Whether you are dealing with pressure at work, challenges with your kids or worry about your finances, you probably have your fair share of stress on a daily basis. And while everybody tells you that you should exercise, meditate or take up yoga to destress, you can t find the time or motivation to put another item onto your chore list. But what if there is a way to manage your stress the moment it comes up, not by fighting it, but by welcoming it? What if you could learn how to understand the intention of your stress and utilize its information and energy to even upgrade your life?

When you watch the rain-forest fires, children of immigrants separated from their parents, glaciers in Greenland disappearing or politicians acting selfishly, do you also feel sometimes so overwhelmed by emotions that it is hard for you to shake them off and focus on what was right in front of you?

You may have struggled with your emotions for a long time, and often wondered, how you could finally turn them off. Wouldn t your life be much better if you could run it by logic and reason? The truth is, you need your emotions, as they provide you with important information about your likes and dislikes, your strengths and weaknesses, and the value of your actions and choices. Every day, emotions have a significantly larger impact on the choices you make and how you experience your world than facts and reasoning. The question just is, how you can feel your emotions, without getting overpowered by them?

Tune into Empowerment Radio this Thursday, September 5th at 9AM PT/12PM ET and learn how to control your emotions by transforming them into catalysts of healing, growth and self-empowerment.

If you have suffered heartbreak, are troubled by anxiety, depression, loss, grief, if you question your self-worth, or are caught up in addiction or obsessive/compulsive behavior - all of these struggles share a common theme: They reflect a broken relationship to the core of your being, your own 'healing heart, sacred heart.' But how do you reconnect to the innate wisdom and truth of your heart, when all you can feel is pain? My special guest on Empowerment Radio this Thursday, August 15th is Lee McCormick, co-author of The Heart Reconnection Guidebook. Learn how through guided self-exploration you can move toward clarity, emotional freedom and self-acceptance; and how through refocusing on the truth of what the heart reveals, you can leave behind the chaos of the mind. Tune in at 9AM PT / 12PM ET. If you have questions in advance, please feel free to reach out on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.

We are living in a world that has many challenges to deal with climate change, energy and water shortages, inequality of wealth, racism and other prejudices, etc. Without being overly judgmental, the fact is that all of these problems arose under the command of the patriarchy. But rather than bringing the world back into balance by empowering women as equals and seeking their advice and leadership, men continue to abuse, control and suppress the feminine power. Yet, the me-too movement, the midterm election and the number of female presidential candidates demonstrates that women are no longer willing to be pushed to the sidelines.
