The Truth Will Set You Free: Overcoming Emotional Blindness and Finding Your True Adult Self8 reviews
Alice Miller, Andrew Jenkins

Basic Books, 2002

This book will break down your internal walls of silence

+ Great focus on underlying causes, but not as practical as I hoped.

I read this book carefully & slowly. I will not be the same again, in that I will no longer go through life, with my eyes closed. Emotionally, this book has freed me to a great extent. I believe then, that it can do so for anyone who is honest & open.
