Launching A) Radio Show/Blog and B) New Book of Resiliency Poetry and Shrink Rap ™: Fierce Longing…Fiery Loss


Hi,

It’s been a creative busy week:  Launching A) Radio Show/Blog and B) New Book of Resiliency Poetry and Shrink Rap ™:  Fierce Longing…Fiery Loss:  Relearning to Let Go, Laugh & Love

A)  Radio/Audio Blog

First, Emily Livelsberger, a Communications Strategist/Coach and I launched a radio show/audio blog this past week.  The inaugural program was on “Jumpstarting the New Year.”  We took a look at the “Dark side of resolutions: Procrastination.” The title of the radio show is "Partnerships that Drive Performance."

A pre-final edit show description:

Dueling yet collaborative mind-behavior-interaction strategy experts blur the lines of conventional wisdom in their quest to pull back the curtain on communication, creativity, and collaboration -- that is, on "Partnerships the Drive Performance."

Show #2 is tomorrow, Tues. night at 8:30; the topic is “Performance Anxiety – from the Boardroom to the Bedroom.”  (When Emily’s kids are snugly tucked in bed.  Her husband, Joel, is our studio engineer.)


In case you didn't catch us live, you can listen at your convenience:
FYI, the Stress Doc and the Communication Strategist have launched a radio show/audio blog.  Catch us tonight at 8:30 EST. Tune in and listen live, or check it out later at http://tobtr.com/s/8222797. Dial-ins welcome!  All feedback much appreciated.  Mark and Emily

I. Overview of Benefits and Features

A.  AI3 Poetry & Self-Discovery Platform:  Benefits

Fierce Longing…Fiery Loss:  Relearning to Let Go, Laugh & Love is an AI3 Poetry & Self-Discovery Platform:  On this personal and shared mind, heart, and soul journey, interact with and discover AI3 Passion Power ™ through the collection’s:

Ø  Accessibility & Intensity
Ø  Analogy & Insight
Ø  Authenticity & Intimacy

In our TNT – Time-Numbers-Technology – Driven and Distracted Web-World, more than ever we need real time and space to transform pain and pressure into healing and hope, into learning and love; we need to embrace Fierce Longing…Fiery Loss:

  • Bathe in luminous lyrics, and humorous “Shrink Raps” – from dysfunction and dependence to the “Resiliency Poetry” of mindful and “out of mind” transcendence

  • Encounter vivid and visual ideas and images, insightful and inspiring analogies and strategies for once again “letting go, laughing, and loving”

  • Enjoy the paradoxical and ironical, mirthful musings and mental meanderings of the one-of-a-kind Stress Doc ™, “Shrink Rapper” ™, and “Psychohumorist” ™

  • Appreciate the Stress Doc’s “New KISS” technique:  Keep It Short & Smart!

  • Yet also recognize a dangerous “3-D” Worldview:  Denial, Delusion, and Dysfunction

  • Be purposefully and provocatively aroused:  grapple with and consciously mute demeaning inner voices; work through meaningful relationship anger

  • Internalize the difference between “feeling sorry for yourself and feeling your sorrow”

  • Discover the psychological power and passion as well as compassion in and even “mystical fashion” of grieving and “letting go”

  • Be motivated to embark on your own self-inventory and voyage of self-discovery

  • Engage with the distinctive three-part structure of Fierce Longing…Fiery Loss – Creative Context, Poetic Piece, and Discussion Questions

  • Each poem, rap, and lyric is snugly sandwiched between: 1) a mostly concise contextual essay highlighting the genesis or personal slant or significance of the verse and 2) head-and heart-provoking “Discussion Questions” to deepen, expand, and focus your “R & R” – Reading & Reflection – experience

  • Use Resiliency Poetry & Shrink Rap ™ as a learning-discussion tool in a variety of classroom/learning settings as well as psychoeducational support, study, and book groups

If a picture is worth a thousand words then, by Gorkinian psycho-meta-metrics, a thought-inspiring, heart-jolting, or side-splitting metaphor or poetic visual is worth at least one hundred psychological perceptions, deep-seated projections, and untamed associations!

B.  Dynamic Dozen:  A Sample of Features

Absorbing yourself in Fierce Longing…Fiery Loss:  Relearning to Let Go, Laugh & Love is its own reward.  You will:

Ø  Savor the mind-provoking comparisons and compelling archetypal auras of powerful female-types (and some male projections) – as explored in Cool Moon Cats and Momma Lions, Kindred Eyes and The Electrifying Lady

Ø  Play hide-and-seek with a child while singing engaging words to the tune of “Frere Jacques” or serenade a child with a variation on “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star”

Ø  Experience the rollercoaster of emotions as family life slides from the joyful to the dark and dysfunctional…yet with an enduring, albeit small, voice and spark of hope!

Ø  Encounter a little Moon-Boy’s poignantly elusive and daring search for his burnt-out Father-Sun and their ultimate dynamic-cosmic connection and destiny

Ø  Reflect on the exquisite beauty of inner child love and the excruciating pain and sadness when it is abruptly terminated

Ø  Achieve “good enough” yet affirming peace when you cannot “forgive and forget”

Ø  Witness the poignant psychological impact of war on soldiers, family, and friends

Ø  Ponder an inspiring ode to “Cowardice or Choice” and an “in your head and heart” poetic questionnaire on creative sensibility

Ø  Laugh at the outrageously double-edged, creative sides of depression

Ø  Discover the adventurous and risk-taking parallels between climbing a mountain and building an intimate relationship

Ø  Assess whether one can rest on an ironical “single and singular” laurel or is this more a defensive ploy and, perhaps, a “commitment-phobe” omen?

Ø  Explore “Grief Journaling” – The Growing Pains Intersection of Passion & Purpose, Prose & Poetry – to work through pain, anger, and loss…and to keep the inner-eternal soul flame alive!
