THE STRUGGLE FOR SELF

Here I go again, making note of what book has been a helpful read to make me aware of why my life has been such a struggle.

This next book I want to share with all is entitled:
"Trapped in the Mirror
Adult Children of Narcissists in Their Struggle for Self"
by: Elan Golomb, Ph.D.

and to add some issues this book explores, here are some comments from the back of this wonderfully helpful book:

~ the nature of the paralysis & lack of motivation so many adults feel
~ stress & its role in exacerbating childhood wrongs
~ why so many of our relationships seem to be "reruns" of the past

Have you grown up with a feeling of unworthiness?? I have. And, it did continue into my marriage and even with my children. I still struggle with some personal issues, but have changed my outlook on myself. I no longer feel unworthy. And, I find myself feeling proud of myself for having the strength to continue on with my life and that I continued looking for answers to the many baffling questions of my childhood, and my life in general terms.

But, becoming aware of how you were molded as a child....of how you were manipulated in your most innocent of years, is the first step in overcoming many of the programs that were instilled into your being.

Read this book and weap. I guarantee you will. But, you'll feel much stronger a person after finishing this book.
