Editorial Review / Publisher's Information:
Product Description
Kenna Stephenson MD provides a selection of nearly sixty case studies from her current and prior practice that demonstrate how girls, adolescents, and women facing physical or emotional challenges have overcome them. Dr. Stephenson details Bioidentical hormones, stress reduction, and the mind/body connection with yoga and Bio-Touch, cinematherapy, bibliotherapy, dreamwork and much more. Readers will appreciate her detailed and extensive references on all of these subjects as well. Dr. Stephenson, a family medicine physician and researcher, wife, and mother of two, brings compassion and insight into the challenges faced by modern day life. *Even our most traumatic experiences do not sentence us to a life of misery and failure,* Dr. Stephenson says. *The power to change and overcome is within us all.* Those who read this book will certainly agree. Awakening Athena is a book about achieving balance in life. It is based on the Golden Mean (balance in living) advocated by Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom, war, and healing, and on the work of Dr. Carl Jung, which teaches that we can transform ourselves to our benefit by improving our health and well-being. Many women today live a life filled with deadlines and demands that leave little time for self-care. In Awakening Athena, author Kenna Stephenson, MD, shows us that to succeed at home and at work, we must first nurture and care for ourselves physically and emotionally. She then provides practical, affordable suggestions that women of any age, profession, or economic status can use to do so. Readers will appreciate the simple and effective recommendations for achieving a more balanced lifestyle, safeguarding health, and including self-nurturing care in even the most hectic schedule.

• Review, Revelation And Resolve
09 March, 2006
Dr. Stephenson's historical review of hormone replacement therapy was a revelation for me. Being a pharmacist, I wanted to become better informed on this topic, especially given the recent controversy, and this book provided me with this. Her well referenced, easy to read writing style would appeal to anyone whether one has or hasn't a medical background. Many of the patients in the case studies had the same problems as the people in my life, which made me reflect and realize that women have it much harder than men. At least this book can help. So, all women should read this book then give it to their doctors to read; it's in your best interest.

• Athena ... The Goddess To Learn From
24 December, 2006
Athena was the ancient Greek Goddess of Justice, Wisdom, and Strategy. As an archetype she is represented by Margaret Thatcher, Indira Gandhi, Oprah Winfrey, Golda Meir, and any woman who uses the fortitiude of her social and intellectual intelligence to navigate the world and claim a leadership position. The Athena archetype is the cool-heade woman, whose ability to nail the true character of a person requires objectivity and higher reason that paves the way for keen intuitive impressions. I LOVE this book's message. Athena in the psyche is activated when a woman's vulnerability and life circumstances requires a strength play. Athena removes the hijacks of emotional negative patterns and creates a laser like focus to accomplish necessary objectives. A woman's greatest gift is her intuition. In order to access high wisdom through the intuitive faculties, it is imperative to have Athena working on your behalf, when you are cool and logic is your intuitive ally ... the truth is obvious and your gut instinct will tell you how to operate in the world. Athena was the original Girl Power Goddess.

• An Essential Tool For Patients And Doctors
14 September, 2008
I have had the pleasure of sharing the podium with Dr Kenna several times at various symposiums on hormone therapy, and thus have gotten to know what a terrific family doctor she is. Dr Kenna provides wonderful insight into the problems of women and then offers meaningful solutions - not just meds and hormones, but tapping into their feminine strengths to reach new heights of awareness and self-actualization. Thus, this book offers not only help to women, but also to physicians (especially Neandrethral docs such as myself) who need a little help understanding the female experience of life, yet are duly trying to help them through some of their dificult life changes and "tuff" times.
