Recreating Your Self

by Nancy K. Napier

For people who were emotionally and physically wounded as children, the journey to adulthood is a constant struggle with shame, self-criticism, and fear. Napier shows these adult children how to use self-hypnosis to resolve the effects of abuse, build a healing relationship with the child within, and give back the "hand-me-downs" that are causing pain.
