SELF-HELP PSYCHOLOGY BOOKS

Here is my trilogy of self-help psychology books, all related to trauma and childhood emotional neglect. For each, you can drill down and see their table of contents, one or two select endorsements, a short excerpt, and places to purchase. All of these books can be ordered through both online and brick-and-mortar book sellers.

The Emotionally Absent Mother: How to Recognize and Heal the Invisible Effects of Childhood Emotional Neglect

“The groundbreaking guide to self-healing and getting the love you missed.”


Now in its second edition, The Emotionally Absent Mother paints a portrait of mothers who are emotionally disengaged and the impacts this can leave on their children throughout their lives. Hailed as a guide for those who are undermothered, it can help you identify what was missing, how this relates to your mother’s history and make-up, and what you can do now to fill the holes that were left by the mother who wasn’t fully there. Includes questions and exercises.

Healing From an Emotionally Absent Mother: Learn to Build Trust, Take in Nourishment and Move Past the Wounds Left by Neglect

“An indispensable hands-on guide to healing from the long-lasting effects of childhood emotional neglect from the author of the groundbreaking The Emotionally Absent Mother.”

 

This workbook adds new areas to the discussion of healing from childhood emotional neglect and over 70 all-new core exercises as well as exercises modified for groups. It can be used as a stand-alone book, or as a supplement to The Emotionally Absent Mother. The overlap of critical information will be reinforcing for previous readers, and the greater succinctness will benefit readers who want more of a designed program for doing their healing work.  It’s been 8 years since my second edition so I am writing from a different place, with 8 more years informing my views.
