Synopsis

Transformation for Life addresses the difficulties shared by the more than 28 million adult children of alcoholics in America. It is solution-based and uses an easy-to-read style to deliver a variety of techniques intended to help the reader heal from the past and move forward to a new and more joy-filled life. The book s chapters are separated into six main categories: Self-awareness, healing, self-love, relationship-building, spirituality and goal achievement/success/joyfulness. Each chapter is filled with personal, insightful examples, simple yet effective skill-building activities, and action plans for success and growth. Life-changing healing, growth and skill development can free adult children (who never learned key life lessons or are missing certain skills due to parental dysfunction) from emotional chains constructed in the past. Based on scores of successful workshops and research, the content of the chapters serve as building blocks that comprise an overall program. It is intended to assist the reader in learning how to stop reacting to triggers or acting out the wounds of childhood. The program touches many areas and illustrates how to heal, identify needs, increase self-esteem, become self-empowered, construct life's direction, and develop intimate, loving and balanced relationships.
