Customer Reviews

A "Therapeutic" Read!
This short work offers a sort of therapy course to those ailing from secret pains, particularly, those pains resulting from parent-child separation. Very systematically written, the book not only examines the effects of childhood hurts on adult behaviors but provides some very concrete strategies for letting go and for finding peace as adults. Taken as a whole, the reader is left with an enhanced understanding of human behavior, whether personal or otherwise.
