Strengthening Your Inner Life in Challenging Times: The Simple Care of a Hopeful Heart

One of the greatest gifts you can share with others is a sense of your own peace. But you can’t share what you don’t have. Dr. Robert J. Wicks, an expert on the prevention of secondary stress—the pressures you experience in reaching out to others—offers insight into how you can live in peace and extend your warmth to others without losing your inner fire.

You will learn how to:

• offer a nonjudgmental presence;
• maintain a healthy perspective;
• avoid dangers that lead to unnecessary stress;
• develop a self-care protocol;
• Know the four “voices” we need in our circle of friends to have balance and courage in life;
• improve self-awareness;
• face inner darkness; and
• develop a richer sense of prayer.

Practical, illustrative, lively, this rich presentation will provide essential information on resilience, compassion, spirituality, and personal/professional wellbeing.
