| ADD (+) Plus , Part 1, Podcast 101609 | This is the last portion of the "Shut-Out" news letter discussion about exercising our rights as ADDers under the ADA. It's a 2 parter. In this podcast and the next "part 2," Jerry share the many other "co-morbid" conditions, disorders, and common problems that are common among our genetic slice of the general population. We may or may not experience these condition, but there are probably others in our family or extended family who do.

| 12-Steps: the Faith Roots, Part 3, Podcast 061109 | Here's the last of the 3 parts to this 12 Step presentation. It gets more serious in this one. But imagine what the faces of the preachers in the crowd looked like--I still remember some. Not at the "Shepherds..." conference but elsewhere..... I almost got beat up by a pastor once who told me to stop this "12 step stuff." He said, "Your a Christian! You don't need 12 steps. Just 1 step, "Jesus!" I respectfully disagreed and this ADD pastor had a rage attack. ALSO..... A very famous pastor in Orange County, CA w/ a large and a whole movement across the county. Has a son who was an ADDer/addict and got divorced..... while pastoring. He found recovery in the 12-Steps, and his Dad separated himself from him and refused to support his ministry. But the boy grew a wonderful church that touched thousands in a So.OC city on the beach. I used to lead a 12 steps for ADD mtg there!Go to www.ADDChurch.org make a donation or www.spiritofhopepublishing.com to download an eBook or buy hard copies and audio books.ADD, Christianity, & the Church eBook Instant Download $9.95 Email Pastor Jerry: jerryseiden@gmail.com | Get at Short URL | Download 12-Steps: the Faith Roots, Part 3, Podcast 061109 | Play in Popup.

| Update & Burnout, Podcast 042909 | Jerry and Dennis are together by phone and record this update about their lives and the ministry of Spirit of Hope. Jerry shares some insights on "burn-out"---a dark step beyond depression. He reads a self-diagnostic list from booklet/article by Dr. Archibald Hart "Burnout---A Blessing in Disguise." Burnout is different than depression. Burnout is especially common among people who care for other people in some way. Many caregivers are parents or family members or professional caregivers. But this also includes people who become emotionally enmeshed and entangled with others. his is commonly called ?codependency.? According to Dr. Archibald Hart, ?A body system exhausted by overwork, pushed beyond reasonable endurance, and depleted of resources could become burned out. In essence, extreme states of burnout will comprise most, if not all of the following:***Demoralization?the belief you are no longer effective in your life, work, or career.***Depersonalization?the treatment of yourself and others in an impersonal way.***Detachment?the withdrawal from all responsibilities.***Distancing?the avoidance of social and interpersonal contacts.***Defeatism?the feeling of being beaten and the loss of any hope that things will change or get better.Remember, neither depression or burnout is bad. It?s the mind and body?s protective programming. It provides the opportunity to change, heal, and grow. Think of it as a field trip?a learning experience. Imagine what a caterpillar must go through during the transition to butterfly!For more of the booklet/article's content and the self-diagnostic list/tool read by Jerry email: jerryseiden@gmail.com.
