Book Overview
In this eagerly awaited book, two pioneers in the therapeutic movement challenge today's "tell-all" psychotherapy programs. Their plan: learn to discern confessions that liberate from those that damage privacy and individuality. Citing authentic case histories drawn from professional experience, the authors show how to achieve an inner sense of balance, peace, and pleasure. Important secrets should be revealed only in safe environments, which they call "sacred space." Applying this concept of appropriate telling -- and keeping -- of secrets empowers you to realize your potential for creativity, love, and joyous self-expression. Learn how to:
-- confront your shame and start talking
-- build stronger friendships and more intimate relationships
-- make optimal use of the therapeutic process
-- explore and understand powerful secrets
-- develop healthy boundaries in relating to lover, spouse, family, friends.
-- confront your shame and start talking

Very helpful and feeling-provoking
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I'd say thought provoking, but the point of the book is feelings. I am finding this book very helpful, very practical. I raced through it the first time, hoping to prove to myself that I was NOT stuck in Step 5 (stuck in the telling). That tactic worked about as well as you'd expect. After I accepted the fact that of course I was at times stuck in step 5 and that I bounce around between all the steps at times (okay, I'm not sure I'm hitting step 7 too often!), I started reading from the beginning with an open heart and found it really helpful in understanding myself and getting beyond myself. Read it and enjoy. Don't get stuck like I did in the 'I am not stuck in step 5' stage!
