chocolate, shopping, sex, drugs and, rock 'n roll. in a questing frenzy for Why! I'd racked up 20+ years sobriety as a 12 step black belt who introduced herself as an AHOLIC. I was hell-bent to prove "them" all wrong! I was not broken. By 16, I'd become a ward of the Court and, therapy was a mandate. and she had already made that an active and ongoing threat! I was terrified. Starting approximately 60 years ago, when I was 7, it was strongly suggested my Mother get me some help! Certainly far from helpful, my Mother choose a hypnotist (he had scrapbooks in the waiting room with newspaper clippings and, I could read!) My Mother was looking for truth. he revealed enough of his personal experience for me to "feel" his honesty! Gotta say, in all my varied therapy. I'm not sure what good it will do and, I have enough of the glossary to know how arduous the journey might be but, I am undaunted! Pete Walker did the absolute best for ME. It offers solutions.Īt 67, I 'm overjoyed to find a "feels right" explanation after searching for 60+ years to find ways to fix myself. It is not a long set of chapters letting you know you have a problem. It will give you happiness you never believed possible. YOU REALLY owe it to yourself to get this book.
It gave me hope and my relationships with healthy people are better than I ever imagined and I broke free from the toxic people. I have PTSD because of the home I grew up in. It made me feel understood and validated. I felt shame saying I had PTSD because I never saw what they did. I felt shame because I have never been to battle and felt that soldiers who saw war and suffered PTSD had the "right" to have PTSD. I have also been to therapists and tried several medications over the last 35 years. Most just get you to realize you need help. I love Audible because you can return books and I have returned some that were just "stories" and not helpful. I saw how many stars it had and wanted to try it. I literally tried everything to overcome my sadness, shame, depression and low self esteem. I have prayed and tried several religions. I am a compulsive overeater, workaholic, busyaholic and a binge drinker. WOW! I am not exaggerating when I say that I have purchased or read hundreds of books trying to get help for my mental health.
