Back on Your Feet – First Aid Kit – Wolfgang Spangenberger

A Kite Needs Wind to Fly: Phase 1: Survival - Your Emergency First Aid Kit

You are truly miserable in the sudden onslaught of a life crisis. The storm is intense and you might feel helpless and overwhelmed with its sudden arrival in your life. You may feel violently emotional – rage, fear, blame, loss … and you may feel no emotion at all, you feel numb, as if seeing your life fall apart from an observer’s distance.

I’m here to help.

You need relief fast. All that matters to you right now is survival.

Here’s IMMEDIATE HELP for you to re-stabilize quickly and get your wits about you.

In this workbook, I quickly lead you through the first “baby steps” you can take to gain instant and lasting relief. And just like a coach taking over a downward-spiraling basketball team to turn that team around to success, I show you how to take control of your thinking and how to stop the downward spiral easily and effectively, so that you’re winning again, too.

It's time for you to fly again.

Mastering Life Crisis

Mastering a life crises occurs in three (3) phases:

Phase I- “The Survival Mode” – You are experiencing pure stress. It’s time to focus on your basic needs and simple “to do” items that alleviate the stress, worry and strain. I call it your first aid kit. Often this phase lasts 4-6 weeks.

Phase II – “The New Normal” – Here, we answer three questions: What is bothering you? Where do you want to go? How can we, together, make your recovery happen in the easiest, least stressful way? This is where we begin to formulate goals and identify the strengths you’ve always had (It’s time to cll them up again!).

Phase III – “The Transformation” – In this phase, the life crisis can be understood and used as an opportunity. This is the phase of mastering the crisis.

Client Testimonials

“I originally adopted 6 month old twins. I am grateful to have Wolfgang Spangenberger by my side as a counselor in my happiness, but also in the challenges I often face. Humanly, as well as professionally, he has helped me to look at the behavior of my twins, as well as my behavior, from a different perspective.”

"If someone asks me about a person who combines extraordinary intelligence with an astonishing number of the most diverse talents and who by means of considerable perseverance and innovative power, sometimes makes boundaries seem relative; for whom challenges seem easy and uncouth things look elegant – I inevitably think of my old companion and friend Wolfgang."

"Wolfgang Spangenberger saved my life several times! With his expertise and dedication he brought me through serious challenges in my life. In Bermuda he performed multiple surgeries for a life threatening condition as a one man team. He denied himself days off because ‘if something should happen’ he was available for me.”

“I’m so grateful that I came across Dr. Spangenberger’s materials, especially his workbook and book, ‘When the Helpers Need Help.’ I’m personally supporting someone in a life crisis and having this material is making a difference in my family. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

“It has been worthwhile working with Dr. Wolfgang. I have enjoyed discussing, confirming or questioning the contents of his book and program from the perspective of my pastoral and counseling work. He inspires and gives reason to see the well-being of the soul without resorting directly to medications.”
