Hide and seek

The true promise of this book is of being able to change that which has been unchangeable. It challenges the reader to objectively ask: "Is there some hidden need for me to not get what I want? Do I unknowingly and consistently sabotage myself?" Hide and Seek: Reclaiming Childhood's Lost Potential offers an insightful answer by proposing that one's childhood may have required an adaptive survival system in response to a dysfunctional family environment. This system then becomes the sabotaging force that limits adult potential. Its power to stay hidden prevents its disclosure even in therapy. The behavior manifested by the system is often labeled by others as irrational, juvenile, or even "neurotic". Using personal stories of patients, familiar fables, core psychological information and innovative strategies for change, the book empowers the reader to examine his or her life within family patterns and offers a comprehensible approach to self-understanding and self-respect.-- website.
