Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"BirthQuake by Tammie Fowles is the most satisfying reading I have yet seen in the field of psychotherapy. When you think of BirthQuake, think of an earthquake. Dr. Fowles uses the term to describe what happens to people when they come face to face with what they believe is unfaceable. The anecdotes in the book will bring tears of joy, grief, and spiritual confirmation to your eyes. " -- Earl H. Roberts, Tale WIns
"The author of this fascinating new book suggests that the stresses and contradictions of our culture have brought us individually and collectively to a turning point. From her own experiences and those of others, Tammie Fowles creates a roadmap for understanding both our personal crises and their significance. She shows how they can become catalysts to infuse our lives and perhaps, our culture, with meaning and wholeness." -- Alan Wagener, Greensense
"There are so many books which boast help for those going through a divorce, the emotional upheaval after the loss of parents, the victims of crimes, the disenchanted, the depressed, the loveless, and the dispirited. Birthquake is a working book which guides you through your crisis, whether you are coming out, going in, or just living the results of the crisis.

Birthquake is a working book which guides you through your crisis, whether you are coming out, going in, or just living the results of the crisis.
Well documented with the research and work of the most notable psychologists, Fowles applies her science to life experience (her own and others') The result is help of the most useful kind in dealing with change, whether it is change we have chosen or change that was forced upon us.
I would highly recommend the book to a study group or to almost any individual." -- Gale Marrs, Audiobook Review

Affirmation for life 's journey,
By Jeanne C Zuzel (Norwich, CT) - See all my reviews
This review is from: BirthQuake: A Journey To Wholeness (Paperback)
Incredible! Dr. Fowles has achieved the ultimate balance of compassion, empathy,guidance, direction, and support for the "quaking" adult. "Birthquake" A Journey to Wholeness is the necessary companion for anyone facing the inevitable"quakes" on life's journey. She offers practical insight in readable language that can be easily applied to one's own life experiences. I personally refer to it often, utilize the principals in my own practice, and recommend it highly to the clients I serve. "Birthquake" leaves the reader with a renewed and real sense of strength, courage,hope, and wholeness. This is truly THE SELF-HELP RESOURCE to usher in the new millenium.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A wonderful surprise,
By Debbie J (Charlotte, NC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: BirthQuake: A Journey To Wholeness (Paperback)
I discovered this book on a friends bookshelf, having never heard of the author I had few expectations. I very quickly found myself caught up in Fowles stories, frequently finding traces of my own. This book ultimatley had a profound impact and has prompted me to think about the significance of the choices I've made and the vast possibilities that still await me. This book is filled with compassion, thought provoking commentary, useful and well researched information, wonderful quotes, and inspiration. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in personal and cultural growth and transformation who appreciate books that are clear and to the point. I particularly appreciated the author's observations on spirituality, nature, crisis, and meaning.
