When Hope Can Kill

This book has saved my soul. My only regret is that it was not there 5,10,15 years ago when I needed it most. The book is easy to read, direct, helpful and explains in the simplest terms why we do as we do, why and how we were programmed to accept certain behavior as normal and how to climb out of the abyss. Following the guides for recovery helped me to identify my core issues and after three days with the book, I felt as if I had been to a therapy retreat, drained but healthier and wiser. I particularly like the way it is written with no blame placed on parents who after all did the best they could as we have done with our own children. It also does not blame the romantic partner we have chosen, but instead places all of the challenge of recovery on our own wise selves within. Thankyou.

Let Go of Hope and Regain Your Soul back

We have been told most of our life that it is important to always have hope. However, there are times when holding hope can be more destructive then constructive. Lucy Papillon shows how you can regain yourself back when involved in a soul mugging relationship regardless of whether you are living with that person or have ended the relationship. She has given over 200 questions to help you to come to an understanding as to why you have allowed someone to take your precious soul. The questions sometimes are difficult to answer because of the truth you must face. Lucy Papillon guides you through the questions one step at a time. She increases the probing of your inner issues slowly. She gives you tools to help you to know how to become the person you know you were meant to be. It may take some time to get through this probing and self discovering book but in the end you will find a strong, secure and happy person who knows exactly who they are and where they need to go to find peace in their life.
