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 !!!

Wow! That is kewwl that you find the book to be very helpful to you. And that is very nice of you to be buying it for people that you care about.
I find that if I apply his knowledge even to other areas of my life, I understand things better. Many times I refused to believe something because it was an unbearable thought. I didn't want to believe that a so-called friend of mine for 37 years had been gaslighting me. But, I suspected it within that last 2 years. Have you read his other books? I am waiting for them to come to the library, so I can read them without having to buy them.
She sounds like a very, very skilled therapist. I hope she will let you use your grounding techniques more.
That is awesome that you got a new psychiatrist! That happened so fast! Yes, I will keep my fingers crossed for you that he will be great too. Good luck with the new psychiatrist! Please let me know how it goes.
Thank you for following up. I really appreciate it.
