"The moral test of government is how it treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the aged; and those in the shadows of life, the sick, the needy and the handicapped."
-- Hubert Humphry

Dance like no one is watching.

Getting Started With Kathy Seifert
I am a psychologist and I have spent my life studying violence and helping people heal from trauma. I have placed my thoughts and observations into several books, ebooks, one assessment, and relaxtion CD's and Guided Journals. My main website is http://drkathyseifert.com. There you will find articles, news reports, and my newsletter. Help yourself, they are FREE. My books and ebooks can be found under the tab "Kathy's Store."
My life's mission is to do what I can to prevent violence and abuse. I also want to help those who have expereinced violence to find their strength from within to overcome its horrible effects. To that end I have several relaxation CD's that are also available through download from Amazon, CD Baby, itunes, and MSN music. Guided Journals to help cope with stress and trauma can be found on Amazon, as well, at http://drkathyseifert.com
I lecture nationally and internationally about abuse, violence, trauma, healing, and recovery. I will be posting the conferences where I will be appearing on this site.
