This book is for women who feel as though they are playing a role in life rather than living as their authentic selves. Most likely they were raised by emotionally immature, detached or unpredictable parents resulting in stunted development of their true identity. These women are unaware that this is the underlying cause of their distorted and limiting beliefs about their worthiness of love and attention. The first third of this book illustrates childhood emotional neglect through compelling personal and client stories. The second third illustrates the maladaptive coping strategies developed in adulthood. The last third of the book is dedicated to healing these wounds. It provides a holistic healing plan including psychological and spiritual healing practices to help women overcome these wounds so they can live and love as their true selves.
