Finding Wisdom to Know the Difference - Re-writing Life Scripts Promises Success in Living
Austin, TX (PRWEB) August 18, 2008 -- A girl who is stifled, not allowed to play with friends, and made to believe she is worthless becomes a therapist, author and successful businesswoman in this inspirational tale of hardship and courage. Irene Watson tells how she succeeded in "The Sitting Swing: Finding Wisdom to Know the Difference" (ISBN 9781932690675, Loving Healing Press, 2008).
When Irene Watson visits the Avalon recovery center, she has no idea what a difference it will make in her life. As a practicing therapist, she believes her visit will help her better serve her clients. But to discover a video camera in her room and counselors who are hostile to her are not what she bargained for. Yet the experiences make her analyze how her background still influences her present. Irene begins to rethink her dreams and personality and finds the courage to change into who she wants to become.
The title of "The Sitting Swing" refers to a swing the author could barely use as a child because the rosebushes around it made it impossible to move very far. Irene's over-protective mother watched the swing through the window. Irene's older brother, Alexander, had died and her mother blamed herself. She would not let anything happen to her second child. Only as an adult would Irene understand and forgive her mother's irrational fears and overcome the limited world she knew as a child.
Irene's story is one of conflicts with her parents, physical and sexual abuse at the hands of other children, growing up in a Russian/ Ukrainian immigrant family in Canada, and attending a school where English was spoken when she only knew Ukrainian. In her teen years, she contemplates turning to a life of crime to relieve her frustrations until her one true friend saves her. "The Sitting Swing" is also the story of a middle-aged woman reviewing her life and marriage and finding that the past cannot be changed, but the present and future can.
Written in a down-to earth tone, this revised edition of "The Sitting Swing" includes a new Afterword about Irene's continued success and her response to her father's passing. Resources are provided to those inspired to begin the journey of recovery and address their core addicitons. No one will close "The Sitting Swing: Finding the Wisdom to Know the Difference" without believing we are all capable of changing our life scripts. This inspirational story will linger long and become a heroic example of what anyone can achieve who finds the courage to change.
