People who have suffered childhood trauma will face many problems in adulthood, such as excessive self-criticism, neglect of their own needs, gambling, alcoholism, drug abuse, sexual misconduct, chaotic interpersonal relationships, and behaviors that endanger their own lives and the lives of others.
In fact, this is all caused by shame. Shame is a natural response to abuse and is at the heart of all forms of abuse, deeply embedded in the victim's perceptions and behaviors.
"It's Not Your Fault" delves into the specific manifestations of shame caused by childhood trauma and its impact on victims. With the support of theory and practice, Beverly Engel, who has been dedicated to treating victims of childhood trauma, created the Compassionate Self-Healing Project.
This is a highly practical self-healing manual. If you are suffering from shame caused by childhood trauma, this book will take you on a journey to gradually overcome shame and teach you to see the world with a different pair of eyes - a pair of eyes that is not blinded by the concept of "I am inferior, incomplete, worthless, and unworthy of love."
Reader comments
As the book says, "Among all the symptoms of psychosis, the one that is most likely to cause extreme fear in patients is the sense of being penetrated." I have friends who have experienced such pain. The methods provided in this book are very practical, like a self-healing manual, which can help traumatized people come out of the shadow. I think everyone can read it and understand themselves and others better.
It's very useful. I like this kind of book that teaches you how to do it best. It doesn't feel like talking on paper, but practical, follow it, and apply it in your life. It's very useful. It's worth reading.
Good for CPTSD, Childhood Abuser Healing Trauma
The abuser has a look of contempt, a blurt of suppression, sarcasm, sarcasm, and calculation, but the victim needs years, decades, or even a lifetime to redeem himself. It is too difficult.
Nothing is always smooth sailing as a human being, but we can learn from every failure.
Really see your own pain and helplessness instead of suppressing it.
Very good read and very helpful
The book of life, cry bitterly.
