Great book for self-help

I went through uni therapy, and resolved most of my religious trauma, but a topic that kept coming up was my mother's role in my emotional state. I had used up all my sessions, so I felt like I still had work to do. This book has exercises that help you work though, not just deal, with the difficult feelings, and you walk away feeling better. Would recommend.

Well-written book on mother's and childhood emotional neglect.

This is a well-written book about absentee mothers, and the long-term lasting abusive effects right through adulthood. It provides an easily read outline so the reader can easily understand the traumatic relationship of a neglectful, absent mother, during their early formative years, and how this early psychological abuse affects relationships into adult years. It is an engaging read that will emotionally and seriously impact the reader. This book should be required reading for all psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers and counselors.
