In Changing Course, Claudia Black brings together the essential parts of her healing model for adults whose lives are burdened by pain. Whether your family life was too chaotic or too rigid, you endured shame and abandonment. As a result, your world-view has been colored by chronic loss that still determines your beliefs, feelings and behaviors -- probably without your awareness. Key areas of focus include: Turning points to recovery, healing the pain of abandonment, fear and shame. The process of recovery from chronic loss; skills to create a core of personal recovery. No more roles. No more secrets. New ways of being; new ways of relating. Forgiving, loving, finding serenity. "Recovery," says Dr. Black, "is like a sailboat that 'comes about,' turns to a new direction, and allows the wind to refill its sails. Once you reach your own turning point and begin changing course, you are able to harness the power of the wind -- your spiritual self." "Recovery does not mean giving up who you are -- it means letting go of who you are not." "Forgiving is not forgetting. It is remembering and letting go." Soft cover, 213 pg.
