SCD "cured" my U. Colitis.......2007-09-14

R e a d t h e b o o k !
T r y S C D!
It is specific healthy whole foods. It can not harm you.
When you go on the SCD diet you can see for yourself intelligently from your first hand experience if it works for you. I was eating this way for over six years and it was not that hard to eat healthy when it made me feel great and stop all my symptoms..

Elimination diet is much better choice.......2007-07-20

The SCD diet has a very high percentage of success and there is a good reason for this.
It completely eliminates refined sugar, artificial sweeteners and flavorings, white flour, any food high in trans fat and of course any junk food, which is bad for everyone.
This diet takes care of: bacteria overgrowth, gluten intolerance (very common in IBD patients), allergies for wheat and oats and allergy for soy.
Eliminating milk from an adults' diet helps with digestion for everyone, with or without lactose intolerance or milk allergy.
The downside of this diet is that it is unnecessarily restrictive, hard to follow and extremely expensive .
There is no need to eliminate all the grains for ones with gluten intolerance or wheat allergy and of course for ones whose problematic food is milk. Maybe white rice really is not good, but brown rice has very high nutrition value and should be allowed. Quinoa and amaranth are very good sources of protein, iron and calcium.
Maybe at the time that the book was written there were no available high quality commercial yogurts, but now one can find lots of them in any health food store.
This is definitely not a diet for ones with allergies for nuts, fructose intolerance and who has difficulties to digest animal protein.
The difference between SCD and elimination diet is that SCD eliminates foods just 'in case', because they could be a problem, while elimination diet is designed to identify the food allergies and/or sensitivities for every individual person and remove only that foods, which are problematic for that person.
Also, elimination diet does not sell books for $22.

Best of its kind.......2007-07-07

I have Crohn's disease, and lately I've read several books about nutrition for people with IBD, gluten intolerance etc. This is the only one I'm keeping

Diet and nutrition are complicated, and there is little agreement beyond the basics. The thesis in this book is that many people, especially those with IBD, have difficulty digesting complex carbohydrates, found in grains, milk and sugar. This is bad not only because of reduced absorption, but also because those carbohydrates remain in your gut longer than they should, and become food for harmful bacteria.
By avoiding complex carbohydrates, and getting your carbs from fruit, you help starve the harmful bacteria.

I've been following the book's thesis, and am feeling better than I have in a quite while. But the main reason I recommend the book is that it's well reasoned, sensible, and optimistic. So many books have doomsday scenarios. This one even suggests you can leave the diet once you're healed.
Along the way there are tons of pieces of information backed by references to real articles on real journals.
If you're suffering from IBD or gasses, cramps etc., give this book a serious try.

Eye opening and practical.......2007-07-03

This book made a huge difference for my husband who was suffering from a bad case of ulcerative colitis. Her approach is so sensible and based in science, it's a mind bender why doctors are not utilizing her knowledge. Within a few days of following the diet suggested, my husband had a great improvement in his symptoms. I'm recommending this book to all my friends who have "stomach problems" and those who have lactose intolerance.

For Everyone.......2007-06-27

This is a book for people suffering from intestinal destress. It works wonderfully in that capacity. In addition my wife who has no problem started the diet and started losing weight--a pound or so a week. She is delighted.
One proviso, the author says that diet soda is acceptable. My experience is aspertame is toxic in any form and should be avoided.
With that stated I am recommending the book to my friends.

This book wasn't quite what I was expecting, but it was a GREAT read. It gives some really good situations and stories of abuse.

Could have been better!.......2007-06-24

I gave this book 3 stars. I am a really big fan of zane and her work but I just couldnt get into this one. The story lines were all over the place and it seemed like it was just missing something!

I'm glad ZANE put this one together!.......2007-03-19

I plan on choosing this book for next month's meeting of Tell Me A Story Book Club. We don't normally do short story collections, but since we made one exception this year already, I thought maybe we will try it out for 2007! It is a book that has a very good message. The stories are sad and touching, and each one is different and unique.

I am proud of ZANE for putting this project together because they were stories that needed to be told. We all like sex and erotic stories, but sometimes you have to take a break to see the reality of life. Not a feel good book, by any means, but who cares? Not all books will be, and I am glad for that! I will let you know how the meeting goes!

Couldn't Get Into It.......2007-03-04

This book disappointed me due to all the jumping around in topics. the subject matter was good, but if she would've told one story and stuck with that storyline, I could've stayed focused. Unfortunately i was only able to finish half the book.

True To Life Stories.......2007-02-03

Let me start by saying I'm not a big Zane fan but, this was a good read. They were touching stories but kept my attention. Your heart will go out to the character's in this book, every story has its on message. These stories are tragic but powerful and need to be read.

Book Description

Twenty-eight million people in the United States suffer from chronic, recurrent, often disabling headaches-half of them forgoing medical attention in favor of analgesics that do nothing to prevent the next one. In Breaking the Headache Cycle, the authors-migraine sufferers themselves-present the integrated Headache Reduction Program (HARP) they developed at the Princeton Headache Clinic. Based on the central insights that the predisposition to headaches is a sign of an unusually sensitive nervous system and that drugs are only one component of the most successful treatment plans, this remarkable program instructs readers in a range of techniques, including - how to relieve the pain of migraines - how to detect and ward off oncoming headaches - how to prevent migraines from even threatening The innovative solutions detailed in Breaking the Headache Cycle range from simple breathing exercises and dietary changes to support groups and the latest medications. In this thorough and accessible guide, the authors promise new relief for those already being treated for recurring headaches and for those who currently suffer in silence.

Headache help.......2007-09-17

I have read about 4 books on headaches and lots of magazine articles and websites. This was probably the best because it was the most informative. It let me know what things I was taking that may help with my headache but usually caused "rebound" headaches. It also helped with what foods that help and what foods to stay away from. It was about as helpful as a book can be but I still suffer with lots of headaches. Now I am more inclined to suffer through them. I don't want the rebound effects of what most drugs cause.

A relief for migraine sufferers.......2007-09-08

This book has been a godsend. I have suffered from migraines since I was a teenager. Nothing worked to relieve my pain - I would just have to suffer through them until they were over.

After reading reviews of this book on Amazon, I decided to give it a try. What an amazing difference! I will not tell you that I don't get migraines anymore, which I do. But this book tells you ways to prevent them and to lessen the pain during a migraine. Its fantastic!

I went from having at least one migraine a week to one a month. They used to last me for days, but using the exercises in the book, I just take 5 minutes and it lessens up the pain enough for me to function or even breaks it all together.

Wonderful book! A must-read for migraine sufferers. I even plan to buy my mother a copy for Christmas.

Not the Best Headache Book - Little Practical Advice ..........2007-07-17

The better book is Bucholz's Heal Your Headache which is the most no-nonsense, practical book out there. Breaking the Headache Cycle is mostly philosophical rambling about stress reduction and breathing with little useful advice. The chapter on the pros and cons of current medications is the only useful part of the book. The rest is fluff. If you check out the Bucholz book, you'll see what I'm talking about.

This book changed my life!.......2007-05-17

Since I have suffered from headaches all my life, I have eagerly read any book I can get my hands on that may lead to some relief. This is the first book that I can truly say has SOLVED my problem! For many years, I have had almost-daily headaches and even as recent as Feb 2007, I had 2 to 3 headaches a day (a total of 46 headaches that month alone)! I took Zomig to get relief. It's effective and very expensive but I also knew I was taking WAY too much medicine. This book is full of great information about the hows and whys of migraine headaches and also many, many suggestions of options to break the pattern and get relief. It's very practical, easy to read with stories of other peoples headache histories. As I read it, it seemed they were writing about ME and my headache history. Two very powerful suggestions from that book that changed my life: the deep breathing exercises when I am feeling stress and a low dose of amitriptyline, as prescribed by my doctor. Because of this book, I can truly say - I NO LONGER GET HEADACHES!
If you have recurring headaches - you MUST read this book!

one of the better headache books.......2007-05-07

second most effective book. the information in the book is right on. The best book is "Heal Your Headaches".

This book proved to be very useful and insightful.

Issues and things that otherwise they would be very difficult to explain, recognize or even catalog. Read slowly and meditate a lot on it, and it will prove very helpful. Hope you are able to get it.

My family is Free at Last.......2007-03-16

I can't believe that this revelation has not been preached and taught in my church. After reading this book, I gave my daughter the free CD and asked her to listen to it. I told her that if she got anything out of it to call and we would talk. She called the next day and we talked long and hard about generatinal curses in our life together and how it has already started to taint her life with her daughter. We prayed and bound the emeny. We claimed the blessings bought for us by our Lord. How amazing to feel the true freedom that only being a blood-bought Christian of authority can feel. Praise you Larry for sharing this with my family.

Book Description

Gary Renard—best-selling author of The Disappearance of the Universe—is fast gaining recognition and popularity as a teacher who can grasp and transmit the teachings of A Course in Miracles. Today he offers The End of Reincarnation, a 2-CD learning set based on his sold-out workshops that glean the core principles into a program that is accessible to new and returning students alike. "The world you see is an illusion of a world," A Course in Miracles teaches. "When you really wake up, what appeared to be real before is now recognized as the idle dream it is." Gary Renard, who is the author of one of the most popular books ever written about the Course, guides listeners through its scriptural verses, and delivers them to a place where the need to reincarnate no longer exists. "I understand now that reincarnation is only something that appears to happen," Renard explains.

"It is just a continuation of the dream of birth and death." Distilled for people who have been curious about A Course in Miracles—as well as for continuing students who would like to deepen their studies—The End of Reincarnation offers listeners access to the essence of these teachings. Gary Renard's invaluable contribution is his ability to illuminate the peace available when we awaken from the dream, and to catalyze our experience of oneness with all of creation.

The End of Reincarnation.......2007-10-05

This 2 CD set is excellent. Gary has a very down to earth style in relating his own personal experiences in seeking spiritual enlightenment. Whether you believe in reincarnation or not, he gives very practical advice in how to forgive one self and others which ultimately will lead to peace in one's life. I truly believe that world peace will be achieved one person at a time, and it begins with me. Thank you, Gary.

I am loving this CD set. It reinforces what I've been learning in the "Course of Miracles." Gary Renard has presented the materials in a very easy to understand and entertaining fashion. When I have doubts I just listen to him and get encouraged to continue. Thank you Gary!!

Left with some questions.......2007-09-06

Please see my FOLLOW-UP EDIT, after the following original review:
I am about 3/4 the way through this audio set, and maybe that's why I still have some questions. First of all, I do (logically) understand the nature of duality, with duality being 'hell', and pure non-duality being 'heaven'.
And apparently, the key to pure non-duality is getting rid of unconscious guilt, through forgiveness of ourselves (& others). I love the forgiveness part, but I won't get in to that right now. I'll preface my question with some background: #1. According to the information in the book, our duality is a result of a "mad idea", which was over almost as soon as it happened (A bleep in time). Before the "mad idea", we were all one, and there was no duality.
#2. God did not create this illusion we call life, he did not create the earth, or anything associated with our physical, separate lives that are our pseudo reality. We created this illusion as a result of the "mad idea". The mad idea was that we thought we could do pretty good venturing out on our own.
Ok, here's where it doesn't make sense to me: If there was no duality before the mad idea, who had the mad idea? Did God have the mad idea, and if so, you could say he had a part in creating duality. If God did not have the mad idea, then we must have had it, and if so, there must have been duality before the mad idea.
As I said, I'm only 3/4 through these cd's, so I hope Gary explains a little more about this mad idea theory. Everything else I've heard so far makes perfect sense, but the conflict I'm having with this one question makes me question the validity of the rest of the info.

FOLLOW-UP EDIT: OK, I have finished this two cd set, Gary did discuss my question about the "mad idea" a little more. It seems that this is the most frequently asked question. His answer on the cd's still did not totally satisfy me, but apparently there is not an answer that we can totally understand. I have done a little more research on the internet in regards to this question, and everyone says the same thing, they give a small explanation, and follow up by saying that we will not hear an answer that satisfies us because there are no words to explain in a way we will understand. But....There is light at the end of the tunnel!!! I am about a quarter of the way through Gary's previous book, "The Disappearance of the Universe", and my question was discussed on pages 122-125! I was pleasantly surprised at just how well the issue was explained by Gary's ascended friends, Arten & Pursah. So if any of you are having the same trouble with the mad idea explanation of our creation 'illusion', just get the book I mentioned and pay special attention to pages 122-125! It's the best explanation I've heard so far! And by the way, for the cd's I'd change my rating from 4 stars to five if I could!

Gary Renard's Teachings from A Course In Miracles are SUPER!.......2007-03-09

For a changing energy on the planet today, moving away from fear and fighting, into peace and harmony...Gary's books and CDs are critical. They should be taught in every school in the world. A Course in Miracles can be a little daunting and mysterious. Gary's teachers take those lessons and make them crystal clear. His loving spirit is open to be a transmitter of those teachings, in a sweet, caring, easy to understand way. How did I ever get along without Gary Renard?

Book Description

The statistics are powerful and alarming: Perhaps as many as 6 million Americans suffer from night eating syndrome, or NES—a newly identified eating disorder which describes behavior patterns in which an individual obsessively consumes more than half of his or her daily caloric intake after eight o'clock in the evening. More significant is the further finding that more than 33 percent of morbidly obese individuals—persons who are 100 or more pounds overweight—are affected by this disorder. Experts agree that NES shares characteristic of not only eating disorders but also sleep and mood disorders. Sufferers tend to exhibit symptoms such as feelings of anxiety and guilt, insomnia or interrupted sleep. Typical NES behaviors include absent appetite during the day, a consistent pattern of eating more food after dinner than during the meal itself, and recurrent episodes of waking and eating throughout the night. This book, the first written specifically to people struggling with NES, offers a step-by-step strategy for managing and overcoming this disorder.

Readers will first learn to identify the signs of NES, and then use journaling exercises to discover what automatic thoughts surround their night eating. Having identified the problematic behaviors, the reader learns how to break the patterns with healthier food choices, more structured mealtimes, and a series of relaxation and visualization techniques.

not alone.......2006-09-09

I have struggled with night eating for many years. When I would speak to my doctor about this he was very unaware of this type of eating. I am very pleased that this has been researched. I believe that most people were unaware that we were not the only ones eating at night. The book was a huge help to me.
Thank you,

Simple Book About Understanding And Overcoming NES.......2006-08-06

****
This is a simple, but thorough book about Night Eating Syndrome, a quick read (only 167 pages), but full of information. It starts out with assistance in evaluating if you have NES...however, I think that this book would be helpful to anyone who overeats at night, whether or not they fit all of the criteria for NES.

It includes chapters on how to rule out other eating disorders and physical disorders, the biology and psychology behind night eating, hormonal involvement in night eating, types of night and eating and suggestions/plans for overcoming each. The interventions are pretty predictable, but still helpful, including journaling, imagery, relaxation, and other behavioral interventions. Support, medications, perseverance, and Internet resources are also discussed.

All in all I thought it was a fine, easy to understand book about a little-discussed disorder just now coming to public attention.
****

Thought I was alone with this........2006-07-31

This book was amazing to me. With just the intro and first chapter read, I was able to adjust my behavior enough to minimize eating long into the nite and early A.M. And that was just a beginning. It took me 40+ years to find out this is not just my problem. If you know someone or if that someone is you, come out of hiding and get control over your life. This effects all aspects of life. To find this, was overwhelming and freeing.

Great Book!.......2006-07-11

I found this book to be very informative and helpful. It was nice to know that I am not alone and to learn ways to handle my night eating.

OVERCOMING NIGHT EATING SYNDROME: MY REVIEW.......2005-08-13

Easy read but only somewhat more informative than the plethora of webpages on the topic. As I read through the book I found out a lot about symptoms and that I wasn't very unique in this problem. However, I didn't find any major insights by the way of a solution to the problem. The disorder is too recently recognized to have a lot of useful information about it. I just lock up the food at night.

Book Description

From the earliest years of his marriage, Paul Hegstrom handled his problems and frustrations the only way he knew how: with fists and fury. Talking about the problem only intensified his rage. Going into the Christian ministry didn’t help either, the guilt merely magnified his despair. Facing a charge of attempted murder and a prison term, Hegstrom got the wake-up call he needed. With professional help and an intense struggle with spiritual issues, he began the lengthy process of healing and recovery. Through a fascinating, yet thorough examination of the psychological components of various types of abuse, along with true examples from his own life and others, Hegstrom points the way back to wholeness and freedom. An invaluable aid for the man who batters, the woman who feels trapped, and the pastor, counselor, or friend who desperately wants to help them both, Angry Men and the Women Who Love Them offers straight answers for those willing to overcome the cycle of violence. The revised and updated edition includes a new chapter that discusses the physiological and psychological changes in the brain when abuse occurs.

It was Dr. Paul Hegstrom's teaching that changed our lives forever. In 1994, we were struggling in a ten year marriage that had lots of problems including abuse and adultery.

Dr. Hegstrom's teachings began the miracle that we needed in our life and marriage. The next ten years of our marriage were so wonderful that in 2004, we wrote our first book on marriage, "The Man of Her Dreams/The Woman of His!" Dr. Hegstrom wrote the Preface to the book.

These books are full of help from a real couple who overcame adultery and abuse to experience an outrageously happy marriage utilizing the principles of Life Skills International which was founded by Dr. Hegstrom.

the view of an angry man.......2007-01-12

An excellent book to help couples having anger issues. I was suprised to learn that I was angry (by definition) and that it is controllable (never thought so). It turned me round, made me face myself, in a similar way to an alcoholic.

Angry Men and the Women who love them.......2007-01-11

The psychology in the book was excellent. I especially appreciated that it discussed both sides of the relationship. What I didn't like were the Christian references. It was very annoying and there were many pages that I completely skipped over because of the Christianity. If you can overlook Christian references then this book was very insightful and helpful to me.

A Must Read for Anyone Dealing With Angry People, Including Yourself!!.......2006-06-27

While in the bookstore at church earlier this year, my fiance at the time held up the book, Angry Men and the Women Who Love Them, and said, "Look at this." My response was, "I want that book. Please buy it for me!" which he did. I had been seeing a pattern of anger and rage in him, and it scared me.

This book absolutely opened my eyes to the root causes of anger, which is a secondary emotion. I grew up with an angry father and so did my fiance, who was incredibly wounded physically, emotionally, and sexually while growing up. What I found so helpful about this book is the discussion of the brain and what happens physiologically when we are physically, emotionally, mentally, and/or sexually wounded before the age of thirteen. The exciting news: It's fixable!!

A month after reading the book I signed up for a Life Skills class and committed to attending once a week for seven months. (The Life Skills organization was started by Paul Hegstrom when he found that typical anger management classes did not work for him and the rage he was dealing with in his own life.) I discovered that I have sought out angry men to date my whole life and did not realize I was doing it. I am a little more than half way through the class now and I can honestly say it is the hardest and yet the most rewarding thing I have ever done in my life. I am learning about myself, working through the pain of my childhood wounds, and seeing incredible hope for my future. Next to becoming a Christian, reading the book and taking the class are the best things I have ever done.

The book gave me the information I needed, and the class is giving me the support and the tools I need to experience healthy relationships with others and most importantly with myself. I find I have a lot more compassion for angry people, but I am also becoming a lot wiser and more discerning about how I interact with them. I highly recommend the book (a very interesting and easy read) and the Life Skills class.

Paul Hegstrom provides priceless insight..........2004-06-01

When we feel trapped in an abusive home / marriage, we feel afraid, isolated, and scared of knowledge. Knowledge calls us to take well thought out action and to make choices. This book shares the knowledge that both women and men need to break the cycle of abuse in the home. Mr Hegstrom provides priceless insight as to why we behave the way we do, how to change, how to build a proper emotional and physical bond as well as information on where to get help. If you read this book and are encouraged to grow, I recommend finding a Life Skills support group or another program so that you can begin your journey to a healthier lifestyle. This book is an important tool for married and single individuals both.Many women have shared with me that they wish they had received this pain preventative information before they were married. No matter where you are in life, there is hope and you CAN feel peace and joy again. I highly recommend this book and the Life Skills Program.

Book Description

These bestselling doctors walk you through their ten proven stages to recovery from codependency that results from external circustances. Humans are susceptible to codependency because of our sinful tendency to use defense mechanisms to fool ourselves. In codependent relationships, deceitful games are played, and important Christian principles are often taken out of context and abused. God wants us to have healthy relationships with a balance between being dependent and independent. The doctors describe how the most effective means of overcoming codependent relationships is to establish or deepen a relationship with Christ Himself. They describe the causes of codependency, pointing out the factors that perpetuate it, and lead readers through their ten stages of recovery.

Why I keep doing It to myself.......2007-01-10

Want to transcend your own culture? A path to removing all the roadblocks to becoming what you were intended to be.

Growth through Hard Work.......2007-01-09

Awesome workbook! Hard work and difficult things to look at in your past and in your life, but very helpful in dealing with codependency and boundary issues. I highly recommend this for those wanting to work on codependency issues.....probably best to work through with a counselor or fellow struggler.

Love Is a Choice Workbook.......2006-03-10

This workbook can help you work through issues and bring you closer to the person you want to be.

Love Is A Choice.......2003-11-22

No matter where you are in your walk in life, no matter what your relationships with others is like, you will derive value in reading this book. A few pages may be challenging, but don't stop reading. The book is a good foundation for starting, repairing or building relationships at home, at work or wherever you interact with people. It is introspective, uplifing and perfect for a quiet weekend alone.

Don't be fooled by the children.......2003-01-08

who threw a tantrum because this book included Christian principles and therefore gave it only one star. It's very easy to read and makes VERY CLEAR points. You can not read this book and fail to understand codependency (which most of us suffer to some small degree) and the solutions. If you don't agree with a few small points, don't whine and just skip them. Excellent, excellent book.

one of my most cherished books.......2007-03-18

I have never reviewed a book here on amazon before, but I feel compelled to write a short review for "Beyond Negative Thinking" because it helped me tremendously. It taught me real skills I use on a daily basis to be more productive and energetic (and thus happier), and I consider it to be the real thing as far as self-help books go. I couldn't recommend this book higher.

This book does a great job of explaining the basic ideas of cognitive-behavioral therapy, and has several excellent chapters that discuss different types of thinking patterns -- are you a masochistic thinker, an anxious thinker, an obsessive thinker, depressive, narcissistic, or combination of several?

It taught me that feeling down begins with negative thoughts that quickly turn more and more negative, and that then create heavy, painful feelings of loneliness or feeling overwhelmed, etc., and that the best way of combating this is through ACTIONS that break these thinking patterns.

The key to this book is actions. This book does not allow you to dwell in your mind, or find excuses for your feelings in your past, your parents, or your situation. It is an empowering book and it holds you responsible for your own life. It has helped me for many years now and I hope it helps you too!

One of the best of an otherwise uninspiring genre.......2007-01-01

This book uses proven cogntive techniques and touching vignettes that keep you reading. It delivers on it's promise which is what a self-help book should do!

Watch Your Thoughts!.......2006-04-20

I found this book to be not only extremely helpful in breaking depressing and negative thoughts, but fascinating as well. Many of us go through our days not realizing how we sabotage ourselves just by the way we choose to think. Thinking becomes habit and pretty soon we are caught in a web of our own making.

The book gives five basic techniques:
1. Listen in - Listen to your own thoughts.
2. Underlining. - finding the depressing, negative words
in your thoughts.
3. Stopping. -stop that thought!
4. Switching -change the content of your inner speech
5. Reorienting - direct your thinking to a different goal.

Of course, all of these techniques are a lot easier said than done and that is where the work comes in. This is not a book you just read and finish and forget about. It is something that a person must work on everyday and the authors are quick to point out that it does require lots of work to change bad habits and replace them with good ones.

Though this book was written in 1989, it is timeless in it's message. I highly recommend it to anyone who is really serious about changing the way in which they think.

Book Description

"A beacon of hope for women and men who fear that they will pass the abuse they have suffered on to their children, partners, or employees. Humane and compassionate but also clear and down to earth, this is a wonderful contribution to the literature on healing."
—Lundy Bancroft, author of When Dad Hurts Mom and Why Does He Do That?

"In this remarkably powerful, wise, and compassionate book, Beverly Engel leads readers step by step through a program that will help survivors of emotional, physical, or sexual abuse in childhood to heal from their wounds so they don't need to re-enact their abusive pasts. She offers expert advice and strategies to help parents and would-be parents avoid doing to their children what was done to them and helps both abusers and victims in emotionally and physically abusive relationships make vitally important changes in their relationships."
—Susan Forward, Ph.D., author of Toxic Parents and Emotional Blackmail

If you were emotionally, physically, or sexually abused as a child or adolescent, or if you experienced neglect or abandonment, it isn't a question of whether you will continue the cycle of abuse but rather a question of how—whether you will become an abuser or continue to be a victim. In this breakthrough book, Beverly Engel, a leading expert on emotional and sexual abuse, explains how to stop the cycle of abuse once and for all. Her step-by-step program provides the necessary skills for gaining control over emotions, changing negative attitudes, learning healthy ways of communicating, healing the damage from prior abuse, and seeking out support.

Throughout, Engel shares many dramatic personal stories including her own experiences with abusive behavior. Breaking the Cycle of Abuse gives you the power to shatter abusive patterns for good and offers a legacy of hope and healing for you and your family.

Customer Reviews:

a must read for anyone who was abused.......2007-09-09

This book very thoroughly explains what constitues abuse, the effects and what to do about it once you are an adult. Beverly Engel has a way of presenting the truth without glossing it over but without leaving the reader feeling like he or she is powerless to change the future. This book explains how the cycle of abuse continues from generation to generation and gives concrete things that you can do to get off the victim/aggressor merry-go-round. Extremely insightful and thorough.

Intergenerational Abuse.......2007-08-14

Even at age 60 I continue to learn about the impact of intergenerational abuse infecting my family. Engel, a survivor of abuse herself, describes the various abuses and abusers, the impact on the victim, and suggests methods to counter the negative. Abusers are all around us, even the US Missile Defense Department. My unfortunate newphew's father describes him as a "bum who did nothing and emotionally abused her (girlfriend)" and is mystified by the adult child's behavior. The book unveils the secrets that perpetuate this behavior and how it goes unchecked.
