Book Description
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. "I used to drink," writes John Bradshaw,"to solve the problems caused by drinking. The more I drank to relieve my shame-based loneliness and hurt, the more I felt ashamed." 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars
More stars, please,
By A Customer
This review is from: Healing the Shame That Binds You (Paperback)
I love Bradshaw. He's really only a handful of people who tell it like it is and I credit him with changing my life for the better. As a man now in his forties, having grown up in the south, I know all too well about shame and what it does to the mind and body. Before I knew better, I would see movies and read books about individuals who had gone through difficult things, movies and books such as "Sybil" and "The Bark of the Dogwood," and think, "yeah? So?" only to realize years later that my point of reference was so far off that I couldn't determine what was "normal." Now, many years after therapy and working on myself, I can honestly recommend this wonderful book. If you're suffering and feel soul-sick, this is the book for you. Let the healing begin.

Not an easy book to read,
By A Customer
This review is from: Healing the Shame That Binds You (Paperback)
If any part of your childhood (or adult life) was or is dysfunctional, this is a must-read book. I wish I could tell everyone how important it is to get a book like this and read it until everything in your past and present begins to make sense. It took me a while to "get it," but now I see how important it is to understand that everyone in the family has to play certain roles to keep the dysfunctional family dysfunctionally functioning. When you read this book you'll understand why everything happened in your family the way it did. Thanks, John Bradshaw, for explaining the dysfunctional family so clearly - and showing how to change your life forever by healing the shame that binds you.

retrieve your soul from hell,
By Orva Schrock "Author of "Worthless Boy"" (goshen, in United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Healing the Shame That Binds You (Paperback)
it is no exaggeration to say this was the most helpful self-help book i've ever encountered. for a long time i was always a seeker but could never get to the bottom of the "soul sickness" i felt within my deepest sense of self. i was operating under the general theory my soul had been stolen from me in my early childhood. i could never feel right about who and what i was as a person. this book truly opened my inner eye and gave me the insights and tools to take that mythical inner journey into my own "underworld" and find and retrieve my soul. after many years of depression, divorces, alcoholism, feeling absolutely defective as a human being, this wonderful book brought tears to my eyes, light to my mind, and true healing to my heart. i feel now i am a completely differant person than i was during those years of toxic shame hell. while the growth is still ongoing, the light and growth of self esteem i've found are sure and precious treasures "the universe" , [ God? ] has blessed me with. if your life seems depressing and out of control and sad; please read and reread this masterful work of self exploration. it can save you from much shame and pain. if you are as toxically shame based as i was, this book could very well save your life and engender a new feeling in your heart and soul: peace and happiness!
