This effective and life-changing process of inner connection is the culmination of over fifty-three years of Dr. Margaret's personal work with clients. Now you can recover from the vicious cycle of shame and self-denial that leads to anxiety, depression, addiction, loneliness, and relationship failure. Now you can discover how to love yourself and connect with your own spiritual guidance through this book, which will teach you how to:

• Quickly recover from false ideas about yourself, others, and spiritual guidance
• Overcome feelings of guilt, shame, emptiness, and loneliness
• Replace self-criticism with self-compassion
• Address everything that holds you back
• Heal relationship conflicts and achieve the emotional closeness you've always longed for

If you didn't grow up in an environment where people showed love to themselves, others, and you, you may not have learned how to deal with your painful emotions, and you may be navigating your life through a wounded self controlled by fear and negative thoughts. Self-denial fosters a fear of rejection, abandonment, loneliness, failure, or dependence on others, and may also contribute to illness. The process of internalization will help you love and value yourself.
Your wounded self may take over your life in a very unhealthy way, to the point where you suppress, ignore, or escape your wounds through addictions and compulsive behaviors, such as:

Addiction to drugs, food, nicotine, alcohol, relationships, work, television, or games; unhealthy attachment (emotional dependency); trying to control others through anger, violence, guilt, or submission, and making them responsible for your sense of security and worth; living in your head instead of being in your body and emotions; self-flagellation, self-blame, and self-humiliation; obsessive thinking, rumination, and chronic anxiety; resisting yourself, others, and your spirit, and preventing yourself from lovingly caring for yourself.
