Disowned Self

About this book

Have you ever not known what you were feeling? Have you ever thought you should be angry upset or even joyous about something but all you felt was numb? Nathaniel Branden bestselling author of The Six Pillars of Self-Esteem tackles the frightening problem some people face when they find themselves disconnected from their own emotions. In The Disowned Self Branden explores the different ways in which people avoid or repress certain aspects of themselves for example intellectualizing experiences instead of fully living them and shows the unnecessary loss in self-esteem that can result. Through powerful and effective self-exploration exercises Nathaniel Branden reveals how you can liberate your repressed or disowned self and fully integrate your thoughts feelings and actions to realize your true potential.
