 Rating:  - Profoundly helpfulThis is difficult work. The reviewers who bash this book can be understood -- it's absolutely petrifying to go into such painful memory. This is because it's not just your mind that stuffs away all the "child rearing" but it's stored in your body. I'm doing this work with a therapist. It's scary, difficult, but absolutely life-altering. I am starting to see where I act like a child and where I'm back in my adult self again. It's unbelievable how many stimuli out there actually cause one to ... Read More Rating:  - Not helpfulI'd love to know what book these other reviewers read - I got nothing out of this book.

Author Miller reveals the truth and leaves us in want and hopelessness, Reclaiming Your Life is the answer. The withheld half point was due to the following very RELEVANT point, not mentioned in this book. How can this highly relevant point not even be mentioned in a book such as this? The point I want to make is we, as kids ... Read More Rating: - absolutely terrificI think we could usefully back away from the word "abuse" in a lot of instances....let us just say that parents do a LOT of things that injure their children on emotional and even deeper levels, injuries that continue to cause pain and dysfunction all their lives unless the children can figure out how to repair the damage. Setting aside the overuse of the A-word, this book does four things very well: first, it defines and gives examples of the major categories of things that parents ... Read More
