It touches profoundly on the relationship between family fears and frustrations and how they affect a person's level of self-esteem. The author, Debra Whittam, a licensed, practicing mental health therapist casts an unashamed light on her shame-based childhood and subsequent decent into her own sea of addiction, loneliness and denial as well as the steps she took for recovery and wellness. This is a story that will be helpful to all who might need to throw off fear and frustration and gain the courage and self-confidence to produce positive changes in their lives. --Publisher.  aMemoirvpsyhology91375  aWomen-psychologyvPsychology - applied91376  cBOOK  2ddc4070aABELJbABELJcNFd2017-05-10g19.95l2o362.29 WHITp36754r2019-05-07s2019-05-07w2017-05-10yBOOK11
