Synopsis

For anyone stuck in a bad relationship, for anyone trapped in a job that's unfulfilling, for anyone who drinks too much or uses food as a drug, for anyone whose lifelong dreams have fallen by the wayside-here's help.

Renowned psychiatrist Dr. Keith Ablow offers surprising and effective new strategies for turning the pain of the past into the power of the future. Drawing on more than 15 years of clinical experience, he presents case studies that reveal how ignoring painful memories can negatively affect every aspect of our lives. Acknowledging that examining the past can be daunting, he presents ideas and exercises that are as comforting and rewarding as they are redemptive. Through Ablow's storytelling skills, empathetic voice, and straight-up advice, the experience of reading this book becomes the first step to a brilliant life.

From AudioFile:

The author is a kind and genuine promoter of the belief that satisfaction in life must begin with an honest look at who we are and how we became who we are. A psychotherapy advocate, Ablow shows how facing old injuries can remove blocks to happiness and free up creative energy. Hes especially articulate about the ways people avoid their issues by numbing themselves with denial, repression, alcohol, irresponsible spending, or avoidance of intimacy with others. In a pleasant baritone, Ablow manages the mood and tempo of his reading like a pro yet never wavers from sounding empathetic toward his listeners. A printable worksheet will help listeners understand their coping mechanisms and aid them in reworking problem areas. T.W. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
