Synopsis
Do you believe it is impossible to move past the abuse you have suffered? Do you feel responsible for the abuse or unworthy of being loved? You’re not to blame and you can move past it, as Michael Bluemling, Jr., a survivor of abuse, knows. In his new book Turning the Page: Overcoming Abuse to Reach Life’s Fulfillment, he combines a brief memoir of the abuse he suffered at his father’s hands with his road map for how to move past abuse. Because Michael did not have many support channels to cope with his past, he created a practical and effective model he could use on a day-to-day basis, and now he offers that model to his readers. Each chapter provides a seven-step plan for a different aspect of recovery, such as getting over self-blame, overcoming pain and guilt, dealing with anxiety and depression, and learning how to trust again. By reading Turning the Page, you will learn to: • realize the abuse was not your fault • change the thoughts and habits that are not serving you • live free from fear • break the cycle of abuse • not give up • trust yourself and others again • recover one step at a time • love yourself You are stronger than you think, and you only have one life to live. Beginning with this book, your life of abuse can be over and a fulfilled life can be yours. Begin now. “I believe in you, and I love you for wanting to stop the pain internally and externally. You are not alone.” — Michael Bluemling, Jr.

Today he is a Compliance Officer for the Department of Labor in Richmond, Virginia. Michael holds a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Administration from ECPI University and completed a Master of Professional Studies in Human Resources and Employment Relations from Pennsylvania State University.

Power of One is centered on meeting the needs of its customers by providing dynamic inspirational presentations that allow for personal growth and life fulfillment. A critical element of the company’s vision is to help others and give back to the local community. Michael and the company were highlighted in U.S. Veterans Magazine in November, 2013.
