Healing Your Emotional Self

A Powerful Program to Help You Raise Your Self-Esteem, Quiet Your Inner Critic, and Overcome Your Shame

By: Beverly Engel

Narrated by: Vanessa Hart

Parents act as a mirror to show a child who she or he is. Throughout childhood there will be other mirrors, but children inevitably return to the reflection in that original mirror in order to determine their goodness, importance, and self-worth. In Healing Your Emotional Self, Beverly Engle offers her highly effective Mirror Therapy program to help you reject the distorted images your parents either intentionally or unintentionally projected onto you. She explores the seven types of emotionally abusive or neglectful parents and the seven most common parental mirrors, providing specific advice and recovery strategies for each one.

Helping you raise your self-esteem and improve your self-image, this innovative step-by-step program provides you with the skills you need to:

• Create a positive self-image separate from your abusive parents' distorted picture
• Separate emotionally from your parents and provide for yourself what you missed as a child
• Discover who you really are – including your likes, dislikes, values, goals, and dreams – by creating a word self-portrait and using other Mirror Therapy techniques
• Overcome your tendency toward self-blame, self-hatred, and self-destructiveness
• Learn self-nurturing and set effective limits to help you control your tendency to overeat, drink too much, overspend, and/or overwork
• Become the person you are meant to be by being more accepting of yourself

Learn to love who you see in the mirror with the breakthrough program found in Healing Your Emotional Self.

this book blew my mind.

it was like they interviewed me and my past came back to life. wow, very eye opening.

A Must read for healing trauma

I have a diverse exposure to many healing approaches. This comprehensive guide to implicating a mirror into your healing, really ties together modern and primitive methods. For people struggling to get into therapy with a trauma certified therapist that creates a safe relationship to approach healing, I say this book can help you do the foot work. Take it slow, though, and if you have discernment to take a break from the material if you’re triggered, this is the book you’ve been looking for!

Empowering

This book is/can be life changing. The first part can be very emotional but it really flows with the rest of the book. Highly recommend. This is my second book by this author.

Excellent recovery guide for bad childhoods

The author goes into great details about the different types of abuse or issues that parents can cause us and gives useful structured guidance on recovery. Just reading this spelt out as she does is therapeutic in and of itself.

Helpful info...but NO PDF!!!

Very helpful info for those of us on a healing journey. Just know that if you want to actually do the exercises, you will have to be on the ball enough while you're listening to be ready to write the questions down as they come up, or you'll have to buy the physical book. Bummer! Narration took a little getting used to.
