I have THAT book, and it's my bible !! What a coincidence !! WOW I always felt any woman should give this book to their daughters before venturing out into the world. It's such a smart book and gives very wise information. It helped me believe in gut instinct.

This book is no longer in print, I believe. I listened to the author on a book tape, then had to buy the book. When it was on the book shelves, I used to buy this book and give it to women I knew would help them.

Interesting that you brought this up Going !!

Just so you know, I had a very beneficial visit with my new therapist today. She has alot of training and expertise in the areas I need help. Today, we went back into my history and it's her feeling since I never actually was able to talk about my childhood trauma issues with any therapist, I am still carrying alot of that with me now which is causing soo much disruption in my life. Where I only wanted to start today going forward finding a life worth living, I kept telling her (first visit) to stop as I needed to practice grounding skills before we went forward. That gave her a clue that she needs to go back and look at some of my early trauma before I can go forward. I only wish she could use EMDR, but she is not trained in that. She used to run groups for women with my issues thru the county and state. She has opened my eyes to alot in only two sessions.


Tomorrow I travel to the new psych doc, fingers crossed that will go well and then I will be set for awhile.


Thank you for keeping up with me Going !!!

I forgot to mention this in my previous post. Have you ever read The Gift of Fear by Gavin De Becker? It is a very informative book that I believe you might find helpful. The author is a world widely know expert on violence and protection. He runs an enormous security agency and has also provided his expertise to police departments, the CIA, and other government officials.

Here is a video of him giving a talk to college students:
