Download or read book God Wants Me Here for Now written by Kaydee Ledger and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2019-07-31 with total page 644 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GOD WANTS ME HERE -- FOR NOW -- God’s Protection through Psychiatric Medication Adverse Reactions is an account of the psychiatric medication mismanagement I have endured and that difficult journey. Though a college educated, confident and involved, married mother of three, I learned the hard way to give grave respect to psychiatric medications. My travails have taught me to do my own research when accepting prescribed medications and not to trust the advice of doctors regarding the safety of the choice, the quantity prescribed, or the method to stop. I was totally unprepared for the level of suffering from antidepressant mismanagement (which was especially complicated by Gabapentin), the disbelief of doctors, or the judgment by family and friends. I had no idea that doctor training was so inadequate regarding those drugs or of the thousands of people, like me, who report their symptoms and are daily diagnosed as somatically preoccupied or with a conversion disorder. The pain caused by inappropriately prescribed drugs affected my jobs, my children, my finances, my public perception, and my involvement in life. (I have lost precious years of life because of psychiatric drugs.) My experience has awakened me to a desperate need in the medical community. I now advocate for informed consent of consumers, better training for doctors, insurance coverage for tapering, smaller manufactured drug quantities, penalties for doctors who cold turkey or fast taper a dangerous drug, and less flippant prescribing of those drugs.

Download or read book Educating Physical Therapists written by Gail Jensen and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-06-01 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Preparation for the Professions Program by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching focused on education in five professions (clergy, law, engineering, nursing, and medicine), but its influence has been felt throughout higher education and has inspired other professions to turn a critical eye to their own pedagogy. Modeled after the Carnegie Foundation’s example, Drs. Gail Jensen, Elizabeth Mostrom, Laurita Hack, Terrence Nordstrom, and Jan Gwyer began an examination of the state of physical therapist education in the United States in their study, Physical Therapist Education for the Twenty First Century (PTE-21): Innovation and Excellence in Physical Therapist Academic and Clinical Education. With the same team of authors, Educating Physical Therapists documents this examination, detailing the key findings of the study and expanding on its implications. The text begins by looking at the current state of physical therapist education across the continuum, from professional education through residency, then continues by describing exemplars of excellence and best practices that were observed in academic and clinical settings. Through this survey of the profession, a conceptual model of excellence in physical therapist education is derived and presented with practical recommendations. Areas addressed: Elements that promote a culture of excellence Critical needs for advancing learning and the learning sciences Academic and clinical organizational imperatives The critical need for system-based reform Finally, after looking at the current state of physical therapy education, Educating Physical Therapists looks to the future, providing a reimagined vision for what professional education and the profession could be. These recommendations for growth come with commentary by international experts in physical therapy education, providing a wide range of perspectives. After an intensive examination of physical therapist education, Educating Physical Therapists is designed to change the way educators and administrators across academic and clinical settings prepare physical therapists for the future. From the Foreword... "The authors of this volume have much to teach us, and they have taught us well. We can accept their recommendations, or we can argue with them. To ignore them is impossible." - Lee S. Shulman, PhD, President Emeritus, The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching

Download or read book Strength of This Woman written by Jannelle Charlemagne and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011-11 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When we're afraid, that fear robs us of being content. Fear robs us from living a comfortable life; that fear also robs & rules a lot of people that feel stuck due to their fear. We will never be free from fear until we stop making excuses about situations in our lives. We can't punish ourselves & everyone else for what one person or others did & have done to cause the situation or for what has happened in our lives. We need to change the way we think & live in the now--present tense. Let the past be the past & let it stay in past tense. A person can't change what has happened, but can look forward to the future. Looking forward can reveal the possibilities that lie ahead and lead to change. As women & men, we need to find ways to stand up for ourselves & break free from our silence to get rid of fear & shame....We need to take steps to help ourselves become stronger & smarter. Honoring the process with patience, I'm taking the time to notice what I have rather than what I don't. I also continually practice shifting my focus to what's positive; that focus keeps me going along with me not giving up on myself even when at times I do feel and have been discouraged. It's hard but there's always hope! Despite my setbacks, pain, loss, hurt and struggles, I'm still making the best of a bad situation. Also I hope that even one person, and hopefully many more, can gain strength from my story.

Download or read book Victory in Every Fall written by Kurt Warner and published by Kallisti Publishing. This book was released on 2024-10-10 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if your greatest challenges could become your greatest strengths? Life has a way of knocking us down — sometimes lightly, sometimes with a force so brutal we wonder if we’ll ever rise again. But what if the very falls that leave us broken also contain the seeds of our greatest transformation? In Victory in Every Fall, Kurt Warner, LMSW, draws inspiration from the Greek myth of Antaeus — a giant who gained strength each time he touched the earth. Like Antaeus, Warner shows us that every time life knocks us down, we have the opportunity to rise even stronger. Through five deeply personal and life-altering experiences — a traumatic brain injury, severe OCD, bipolar disorder, profound grief, and chronic back pain — Warner reveals how each “fall” was not an end, but the beginning of something powerful. With raw honesty and vivid storytelling, Warner demonstrates how adversity can become the source of unforeseen strength. He shares how, by embracing the struggles that seemed to overwhelm him, he found resilience, empowerment, and ultimately, triumph. His story is a testament to the Antaeus approach: when we hit rock bottom, we can find new strength by grounding ourselves in the struggle and using it as a foundation for growth. This is more than a memoir of survival — it’s a guide to overcoming even the most overwhelming obstacles. Whether you're battling illness, mental health challenges, or personal loss, Victory in Every Fall offers more than hope — it offers a roadmap for transforming pain into power and weakness into wisdom. Falling is inevitable. But what comes after is up to you. Will you stay down? Or will you rise, like Antaeus, stronger than ever before?
