About the Author
A warm, personable lecturer, author/educator Mark Linden O'Meara relates his knowledge and life experience in transitions, letting go, and healing in a thought provoking, nurturing and personal manner. In completing his Masters Degree in Education (Counseling Psychology) Mark is near the completion of a powerful transition that stemmed from challenging life experiences that resulted in the creation of the book "Here I Am: Finding Oneself through Healing and Letting Go" - a comprehensive guide to working through emotions, rediscovering oneself, developing healthier relationships and experiencing a healthier lifestyle.
After completing his Bachelor of Management Science in Information Systems, Mark began working as a consultant. At the same time Mark experienced a number of losses that, as one mentor noted, fundamentally changed his outlook and sense of self. This trying period resulted in the recollection of painful childhood memories as well as the need to heal from these and other events. Through the use of self-expression, emotional catharsis, and challenging his beliefs about himself and others, he has experience a reconnection with joy and a deepening of his friendships.
As a result of these changes Mark has experienced significant personal growth and satisfaction. Mark has been thoroughly enjoying his teaching experience at the community college level for over 5 years, has presented at professional conferences, and has been featured on radio and TV.

Fantastic self help book explaining"how to"spiritually heal!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Here I Am: Finding Oneself through Healing and Letting Go (Paperback)
I wish I had this book when I was 21yr old! I had to do my own research to get my answers on emotionional healing. It's easy to say just "let go" but how do we really do this? Mark's book explains this in proper sequence and all walks of life can understand his writing style, which has a lot of humour in it! He explains the importance of laughter in our lives to be able to heal. I would recommend this book to anyone that would like to learn everything about healing your soul, from how your body reacts to unsolved issues to staying spiritually healthy. Bravo to Mark for doing the research for us!

This book is a real how-to of letting go,
By A Customer
This review is from: Here I Am: Finding Oneself through Healing and Letting Go (Paperback)
This book has been so helpful! I've read so many books that say "you have to let go" yet none of them told me how! Till, now! This book is a real good "how to" of working through issues and actually healing. I have always been an emotional person, and now I feel I have better tools to work through my feelings. I particularly like this book because as the author says, each person's healing process is unique and he respects that. Its not preachy like alot of self help books -and the author has been through it himself. I really liked the practical suggestions, such as writing, journalling, music and art to help heal. I highly recommend this book!
