Synopsis

Do You ...

• Harbor guilt, gripes, or grudges from past relationships?
• Feel plagued by thoughts like "If only I had or "I wish I didn't..."?
• Think "Oh, no, not again!" when personal problems arise?
• Feel ashamed of things you've done?
• Wish you could apologize to someone you've wronged and be forgiven?
• Feel victimized by past experiences?
• Wish you could set the record straight-and finally be vindicated?
• Wonder why life hasn't turned out the way you wanted?
• Feel anxious or depressed about your future?
• Seem to be less happy as time goes by?

If you answered yes to even one of these questions, you've come to the right place. It's time to make peace with your past.

The past lives on in everything you think, feel, say, and do. Medical studies show that adults who've had adverse childhood experiences are much more vulnerable to life-threatening illnesses such as cancer and heart disease. But you can heal the pain of the past and create a vibrant, joyful future.

With the practical, scientifically proven techniques in this book, eminent psychiatrist Harold Bloomfield, M.D., will help you:

• Break the shackles of shame-and feel your true worth.
• Stop the slow acid drip of regret-and feel truly grateful.
• Resolve the grief that will not end.
• Heal the not-so-obvious wounds of love and sex.
• Forgive and be forgiven.
• Reawaken to the magic and fun of being alive.
• Rediscover the passion to live your highest destiny.

Through Dr. Bloomfield's dynamic, psychospiritual approach, confusion is replaced by wisdom, bitterness by gratitude, heavy burdens by a lightness of being. You will finally be able to put the past to blessed rest and create the future you always dreamed of-and deserve.
