If you are one of the thousands of people who as a
child were emotionally abused, neglected or smothered by your parents, you
likely suffer from low self-esteem or body-image issues. You are probably
never satisfied with yourself no matter how much success you may experience,
and you may have a very vocal inner critic always pointing out your flaws. Or
you may be preoccupied with your body and determine your self-worth by how
your body looks. In this breakthrough guide, Beverly Engel, one of the
world's leading experts on emotional, physical, and sexual abuse, explains
how to heal the damage to your self-image and self-esteem caused by negative
parental messages.
In Healing Your Emotional Self Engel offers her highly effective Mirror
Therapy program to help you reject the distorted images your parents either
intentionally or unintentionally projected onto you. She explores the seven
types of emotionally abusive or neglectful parents and the seven most common
parental "mirrors," providing specific advice and recovery strategies for
each one.

your abusive parents' distorted picture.

provide for yourself what you missed as a child.

and/or overwork.

your parents' projections.

being more accepting of yourself.
