Healing your emotional and psychological wounds

Childhood neglect and emotional abuse are the cause of some of the most serious problems people suffer from today. This is not a new revelation to most professionals or to many of those who suffer from its effects. However, despite this knowledge, there is not enough help for survivors of these types of abuse. Relatively few books have given readers a complete understanding of how this type of child abuse affects people, ways to heal the damage, and how to resolve relationships with parents. This is the first book to offer a comprehensive healing program specifically for the types of messages (mirrors) that emotionally abusive and neglectful parents give their children and how this type of abuse affects the child‘s self-image. If you are a victim of emotional abuse or neglect, Healing Your Emotional and Psychological Wounds will show you exactly what you need to do to heal the damage to your self-image and self-esteem. It will take you by the hand, step by step, through an innovative and psychologically sound program; innovative because it uses the mirror as a metaphor and a healing tool, and psychologically sound because it uses the mirror as a tool for healing. Because it combines years of experience in treating people who have been emotionally abused with respected psychological concepts, this book presents a unique mirror therapy program that has proven highly effective in treatment. This program is highly innovative, describing and treating people who were emotionally abused or neglected as children using concepts from developmental psychology, object relationships, self-psychology, body therapies, cognitive behavioral therapy, and art therapy. Many of the ideas presented in the book form a unique program specifically ed to treat those who have been emotionally abused or neglected.
