Healing the Shame That Binds You is the most enduring work of family relationship expert and New York Times best-selling author John Bradshaw. In it, he shows how unhealthy toxic shame, often learned young and maintained into adulthood, is the core component in our compulsions, co-dependencies, addictions and drive to superachieve.
This is a self-help book for people who don't usually buy self-help books. Instead of offering cognitive-behavioral techniques for dealing with anger, or affirming strategies to boost self-esteem, this self-help book adapts the basic methods of psychodynamic psychotherapy to a guided course in self-exploration, highlighting the universal role of defense mechanisms in warding off emotional pain.
Explaining that an impaired capacity for connection to self and to others underlies most psychological and many physiological problems, clinicians Laurence Heller, PhD, and Aline LaPierre, PsyD, introduce the NeuroAffective Relational Model™ (NARM), a unified approach to developmental, attachment, and shock trauma that emphasizes working in the present moment. NARM is a somatically based psychotherapy that helps bring into awareness the parts of self that are disorganized and dysfunctional.
Alcoholism, drug abuse, and similar destructive practices can render families dysfunctional. When the children of these families become adults, they sometimes develop self-defeating survival tactics, such as low self-esteem or an obsession with controlling another person's behavior. To help those stuck in codependent cycles identify and eliminate such troubling issues from their relationships, Beattie shares wisdom gained from years of experience.
This was a process level - how to - book about the inner child healing approach discovered by Robert Burney in his recovery from codependency. It is a follow up to his book Codependence: The Dance of Wounded Souls which has been described as one of the most transformational books of our times - and as taking inner child healing to a new level. This compilation of writings from his website is about healing.
"Having empathy means our heart goes out to another person in joy or pain," says Dr. Judith Orloff. "But for empaths, it goes much further. We actually feel others' emotions, energy, and physical symptoms in our own bodies, without the usual defenses that most people have." The Empath's Survival Guide is an invaluable resource for empaths who want to develop coping skills in a high-stimulus world while embracing their gifts of intuition, compassion, creativity, and spiritual connection.

Waking the Tiger offers a new and hopeful vision of trauma. It views the human animal as a unique being, endowed with an instinctual capacity. It asks and answers an intriguing question: Why are animals in the wild, though threatened routinely, rarely traumatized? By understanding the dynamics that make wild animals virtually immune to traumatic symptoms, the mystery of human trauma is revealed.
Best-selling author Karen Casey shares the insights and tools she's discovered in her own decades of sobriety and in talking with other codependents. Her unique treatment of this much talked about, but not clearly understood, syndrome focuses not on the cause, but on the individual's own power to detach from a bad situation and make a choice for recovery. Casey takes readers through the steps of detaching-admitting our attachment, surrendering outcome, forgiving, focusing our attention on what works.
Letting Go describes a simple and effective means by which to let go of the obstacles to enlightenment and become free of negativity. During the many decades of the author's clinical psychiatric practice, the primary aim was to seek the most effective ways to relieve human suffering in all of its many forms. The inner mechanism of surrender was found to be of great practical benefit and is described in this book.
As a pioneer in the field of inherited family trauma, Mark Wolynn has worked with individuals and groups on a therapeutic level for over 20 years. It Didn't Start with You offers a pragmatic and prescriptive guide to his method, the Core Language Approach. Diagnostic self-inventories provide a way to uncover the fears and anxieties conveyed through everyday words, behaviors, and physical symptoms.
Have you ever heard of your inner child? Well, this is the classic book that started it all. In 1987, Charlie Whitfield's breakthrough concept of the child within - that part of us which is truly alive, energetic, creative. and fulfilled - launched the inner child movement. Healing the Child Within describes how the inner child is lost to trauma and loss, and how by recovering it, we can heal the fear, confusion and unhappiness of adult life.
Do you sometimes feel as if you're just going through the motions in life? Are you good at looking and acting as if you're fine, but secretly feel lonely and disconnected? If so, you are not alone. The world is full of people who have an innate sense that something is wrong with them - who feel they live on the outside looking in, but have no explanation for this feeling and no way to put it into words.
Was your mother too busy, too tired, or too checked out to provide you with the nurturing you needed as a child? Men and women who were "undermothered" as children often struggle with intimate relationships, in part because of their unmet need for maternal care.
How much love do you have for yourself? Not the narcissistic "aren't I wonderful?" kind of love but the essential regard for self that empowers you and helps you navigate through life. The type of love that enables you to feel safe and secure in who you are and inspires you to make choices that are good for your authentic self. When scientist David Hamilton realized that his own lack of self-love was sabotaging him in hundreds of subtle ways and more than a handful of major ways, he devised an experiment using himself as the guinea pig.
In Healing Your Emotional Self, Beverly Engle offers her highly effective Mirror Therapy program to help you reject the distorted images your parents either intentionally or unintentionally projected onto you. She explores the seven types of emotionally abusive or neglectful parents and the seven most common parental mirrors, providing specific advice and recovery strategies for each one.
"So many of us hold a deep belief that we were born unworthy," reflects Adyashanti, "inadequate, unlovable, and alone." But what if, in truth, we weren't put here to pay penance, change our karma, or "fix" ourselves? What if we chose to be here because we so loved the world that we poured ourselves into it - to make it whole again, to restore "the hidden divinity amid the disaster"? With Healing the Core Wound of Unworthiness, we're invited to entertain that possibility.
Why does it feel so natural to be compassionate and kind to those we care about - yet so hard to treat ourselves the same way? "Our culture teaches us to use self-criticism for motivation and to build self-esteem by constantly measuring ourselves against everyone else," says Dr. Kristin Neff. "We need to re-learn the essential skill of being genuinely nurturing and supportive toward ourselves."
'True belonging doesn't require us to change who we are. It requires us to be who we are.' Social scientist Brené Brown, PhD, LMSW has sparked a global conversation about the experiences that bring meaning to our lives - experiences of courage, vulnerability, love, belonging, shame and empathy. In Braving the Wilderness, Brown redefines what it means to truly belong in an age of increased polarisation.
This is an unabridged recording of a joyously inspirational book. Codependence: The Dance of Wounded Souls has been called "one of the truly transformational works of our time." Author Robert Burney has been referred to as "a metaphysical Stephen Hawking" - and his work has been compared to John Bradshaw's "except much more spiritual" and described as "taking inner child healing to a new level."
In Codependence: The Dance of Wounded Souls he combines Twelve Step recovery principles, ancient (and New Age) metaphysical truth, and Native American spirituality with quantum physics and molecular biology in sharing a perspective on the human experience that can lead to a life-changing Spiritual Awakening by reminding you of who you truly are, and why you are here ina human body at this very special time in human history.
Where does Codependence: The Dance of Wounded Souls rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
One of the best I have listened to - several new very helpful thoughts.
What did you like best about this story?
About the grieving process, taking care of my inner child, emotional unhealed buttons
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
For me, to take the advantage of the content of the audiobook, I needed to make pauses.
Any additional comments?
Although I was troubled by the author's expressions about my religion - I decided to take what was helpful to me and leave out the rest. I think that I would like to listen to the other audiobook of the author.

Nail on the head. A great dose of soothing empathy and inner truth right to the core of the wound like an itch no one else has been able to quite get to before.
Love how it was able to tie the inner child to the adult now to help reprogram current reality. Has been a hard process to understand but the book in particular really helped progress this.
This book is as close to perfection as possible. I've listened to book after book on shame, self-improvement, and discovering worthiness. Welcome to my mid-life crisis! This book really spoke to me and gave me a self-awareness I've never experienced before. Thank you for this book and the perfect narration.

What made the experience of listening to Codependence: The Dance of Wounded Souls the most enjoyable?
This was an interesting book, but it really did take time to catch the listeners interest. From my perspective, that is.
There are gems is you can just wade through the first 2 chapters, I think it was, then it pays dividends

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
This is a very insightful, well-written book. The wisdom Robert Burney imparts is life changing. I love how he describes the way the events of our childhood lead to co-dependence and what we need to do to heal. I also love how he discusses viewing the difficulties of life from a spiritual perspective. I highly recommend this book for anyone who struggles with addiction in any form, or continues to attract the same type of toxic relationships, or feels overall they are unworthy of anything or anyone that is good.

This book was hard to follow. At times he spoke as if he was coming from a spiritual viewpoint, but then flipped to an atheist point of view. The book does make some good points, but was unclear to me on his stance. So his message was lost to me.
Loved it. I didn't realize that there is a book so amazing. Perfect timing! Im so glad I had a chance to hear it.
I'm grateful to this author for sharing this book. I will be relistening agsin soon!
I loved the idea about connecting to the eternal source and healing based on being connected to something greater than me. The narrators voice is hard to listen to for a long period of time.
As a Christian I understand why the Author doesn't believe that in God's Word, and it's okay, at one point I didn't either. I just loved the insight, and you have to overlook the rest. Good book, and narrated very well, easy to listen to.
