Breaking The Chain Of Low Self-esteem

Breaking The Chain Of Low Self-esteem by Sorensen, Marilyn. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780966431506.

Finally a book that fully illuminates the experience of low self-esteem (LSE): the fear and the anxiety, the self-doubts and self-criticism, the discouragement and depression, the self-defeating behaviors, and the insecurity in relationships and careers. If you have low self-esteem, or realize a friend, family member or spouse does, this book is about you and for you-whether you are male or female. As you read this fascinating book, you will realize that you are not alone-that others share similar struggles; you will also receive information and direction about how to change this problem--how to overcome the effects of LSE that may presently be impeding your personal growth process and causing you unhappiness. One reader recently commented that she finally understood what her husband had been fighting with for years. Though he had repeatedly told her he had low self-esteem, she was sad to realize that she had never before understood the issues involved or the degree of pain he had suffered. (A questionnaire at the end of Chapter One will enable you to assess your own degree of self-esteem. Exercises to help you begin your journey toward healing are provided at the end of each chapter.) An intriguing and powerful book, Breaking the Chain of Low Self-Esteem contains many new insights about self-esteem never before documented. As you read, you will meet and likely empathize with "Jane", a woman whose life has largely been shaped and controlled by her low self-esteem. Chapters begin with a relevant, interesting, and often emotional story from Janes life; additional examples of Janes and others battles with LSE are sprinkled throughout the book. Frequently close to tears when they read of Janes situations, readers are quick to say they identified with Jane. Many actually say, "Thats me. I am Jane." Breaking the Chain of Low Self-Esteem is an engaging, upbeat book that will empower you to face life with new courage and enthusiasm. Once you begin, you wont want to lay it down. Reading it will motivate you to alter self-defeating behaviors, challenge you to overcome your fears, teach you to value yourself, inspire you to change your thinking, and enable you to make better choices in relationships and in other areas of your life. With the insights contained here you may be able to save your present, ailing relationship or gain the awareness that its not right for you. Low self-esteem is a complex problem and difficult, though not impossible, to overcome. The author, a psychologist with over 2 decades of helping clients with this issue, strongly emphasizes that a thorough understanding of how LSE develops and impacts ones life is necessary to make lasting changes. Having seen hundreds of people do so in her practice, she knows it is possible to alter ones LSE and to achieve peace and contentment in life. She stresses, however, that simple affirmations do not work-that there is no quick fix for low self-esteem. Whether or not you suffer from LSE, you will be richly rewarded by reading this book.
