Healing the Shame That Binds You is the most enduring work of family relationship expert and New York Times best-selling author John Bradshaw. In it, he shows how unhealthy toxic shame, often learned young and maintained into adulthood, is the core component in our compulsions, co-dependencies, addictions and drive to superachieve. While positive shame empowers us and sustains the fabric of our social system, inappropriate or misdirected shame results in the breakdown of our self-esteem, the destruction of the family system, and an inability to move forward with our lives. In an honest and emotionally revealing style based largely on his personal experience with addiction and his decades as a counselor, John Bradshaw moves from the source and manifestation of toxic shame to the practical tools---affirmations, visualizations, inner voice and feeling work, guided meditations, and other healing techniques---that will release the shame that binds us to our past.

John Bradshaw'd book is immense in its scope and depth, covering so many angles and facets relating to healthy shame and toxic shame. There is a gem on every page and anyone would benefit from listening to this.

My only comment is John narrates the book at a very fast pace and with little intonation, so I needed to stop/rewind very often to absorb the information.

I loved this book for many reasons.
Firstly because it had many practices that could be easily implemented. Secondly there was so much that resonated with in me for many reasons. And being a therapist who helps others heal and release their hidden shame, fear, guilt and anger while and at the same time doing my own work the humanity of the author shone through
