By utilizing emotionally healing tools, including experiential exercises, affirmations, visualization, inner voice work, feeling work, guided meditations and other healing techniques, John Bradshaw helps us move from the source and manifestation of toxic shame to the release of the shame that binds us to our past and onward to a newly awakened spirituality.HEALING THE SHAME THAT BINDS YOU with John Bradshaw, is recommended for personal, academic and public libraries and those searching for revolutionary ways to get through the toxic shame of our past to awaken the spiritual and emotional health in our being
