    <![CDATA[In an emotionally revealing way John Bradshaw shows us how toxic shame is the core problem in our compulsions, co-dependencies, addictions and the drive to super-achieve.  The result is a breakdown in the family system and our inability to go forward with our lives.  We are bound by our shame.  Drawing from his 22 years of experience as a counselor, Bradshaw offers us the techniques to heal this shame.  Using affirmations, visualizations, &quot;inner voice&quot; and &quot;feeling&quot; work plus guided meditations and other useful healing techniques, he realeases the shame that binds us to the past.  This important book breaks new ground in the core issues of societal and personal breakdown, offering techniques of recovery vital to all of us.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[A fascinating book, especially for those who grew up in a culture of shame.  Bradshaw lays it on the line and exposes family dynamics that many of us have kept buried.   He, unlike many authors of this genre, actually gives a way out.  A difficult book...]]></body>

    <![CDATA[<p>This classic book, written 17 years ago but still selling more than 13,000 copies every year, has been completely updated and expanded by the author.</p>  <p>&quot;I used to drink,&quot; writes John Bradshaw,&quot;to solve the problems caused by drinking. The more I drank to relieve my shame-based loneliness and hurt, the more I felt ashamed.&quot;</p>  <p>Shame is the motivator behind our toxic behaviors: the compulsion, co-dependency, addiction and drive to superachieve that breaks down the family and destroys personal lives. This book has helped millions identify their personal shame, understand the underlying reasons for it, address these root causes and release themselves from the shame that binds them to their past failures.</p>]]>
