At The Speed Of Life: A New Approach To Personal Change Through Body-Centered Therapy
Through more than twenty years of helping people get in touch with their feelings and reawaken their lives, renowned psychotherapists Gay and Kathlyn Hendricks have developed a new approach that is as revolutionary as the work of Carl Rogers, Fritz Perls, or Abraham Maslow a generation ago. The Hendricks method of Bodymind Integration offers a powerful alternative to traditional talk therapies--a faster, more far-reaching route to personal change.

This book explains the process of what I would call "letting go" better than any others. Before this book by the Hendricks, I read books on Focusing (Gendlin, Cornell) and the book Letting Go by David Hawkins. These just didn't communicate how to 'feel' and use the focus on feelings and sensations for transformation and letting go.
At the Speed of Life, however, makes it easy to learn how to let go and transform your life. It can seem a little bit verbose at time, especially with the transcripts of sessions with clients, but these actually help to understand how to apply the techniques for different people and different circumstances. If you read through these, you might get a light bulb moment that leads to new insights...or at leas helps you apply the techniques more efficiently.
I highly recommend this book.

One if the BEST self helper ever. Deeply touching real life account of people making major breakthroughs, including the author. I love this book, too bad I lent it out and never got it back. Must have been KARMA!
