“When we let go of our reactions and detach from other people's moods, actions, and words, we take back our power. Instead of reactors, we become self-determined actors in our lives. We take charge of ourselves and decide how we act in that moment and every moment, skyrocketing our self-esteem”

“Anyone whose goal is 'something higher' must expect someday to suffer vertigo. What is vertigo? Fear of falling? No, Vertigo is something other than fear of falling. It is the voice of the emptiness below us which tempts and lures us, it is the desire to fall, against which, terrified, we defend ourselves.”

Thanks for the connection. Have you visited my website? Lots of hours of reading there, too. All the best, Darlene
Thank you, Darlene, for the friendship. I am new here to goodreads and am just finding my way around www.amazon.com/author/gracegayle







































The “true self,” coined by psychoanalyst David Winnicott, is the foundation for healthy maturation and expression of the individual. Sadly, for many people, including codependents, things go awry during the critical developmental period when the true self emerges. Instead, a false self predominates, while the true self recedes; sometimes, into oblivion.

I am new to the to goodreads page, well at least actively. My published books deal with healing emotional wounds. I am passionate when it comes to helping others deal with depression, abuse, anger, and childhood trauma. It is my hope to connect with others in the group who have like minds and are on a healing journey
There are nine books in the series
Facing the Darkness
God, If You Love Me, Show Me
Those Painful Emotions
Those Deep Emotions
Those Turbulent Emotions
Filling The Void
