Synopsis
These are poems and stories of recovery, forgiveness, healing and reconciliation.
“Bill, in A Gift To Self, has an incredible ability to touch the deeper threads, the soul, of life through his words. He reminds us that only through all the twists and turns of living does one truly find themselves.” – Timothy Welch of Recovery Reflections
It has taken over 8 years to create and compile the poems and stories that make up this book. Many of these stories and poems were inspired by work that was done with a client who was struggling with a life-threatening illness, a difficult loss, a destructive and seemingly impossible behavior in their lives that needed changing, or an issue of abuse or trauma. Thus, many of these poems and stories address the issue of being in recovery. However, all of the poems and stories have a spiritual element.
There are also poems and stories that speak to those who struggle with belief, trust, faith and hope. How does one find wholeness again? How does one learn to celebrate again? These and other existential questions are addressed throughout the book.
From the author: "This is clearly more than a book of poetry. My intention was to develop a book of material that would offer hope and inspiration to those who struggle with issues that keep them from knowing their best self."

À propos de l'auteur
Dr. William Stephenson recently retired from the mental health field where he served in a variety of areas, including counseling those struggling with a life-threatening illness, people with complicated grief, as well as with the homeless and those with a chronic mental illness. His success in counseling was his commitment to the whole person and including or developing a support system for the client to better succeed. In addition to his private practice, Bill has also worked in the public sector and most recently for a large health insurance company, traveling all over the United States to bring a higher quality of mental health and recovery services to their constituents. Bill is married to Carol and together they are active in a local church. Many of his poems reflect his strong commitment to a faith-based way of life. Bill continues to speak and lecture on mental health and recovery which is also prevalent in his poems. Bill is writing a new book entitled, Conversations With My Soul: Uncommon Psalms. It will be published in 2016.
