Description

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.

This book also provides techniques — such as a method for learning how to understand your body’s messages and a “Life-Enhancement” grid — to help you make appropriate daily choices about self-disclosures so that you can make peace with the secrets of the past…and move on to a more fulfilling future.
