Toxic Parents by Dr Susan Forward

Books - Toxic Parents by Dr Susan Forward

WHAT ARE TOXIC PARENTS?

They are parents who caused us emotional or physical pain. Parents who ignored our needs or overburdened us with guilt. Parents who were alcoholic or abused drugs. Parents who were indifferent and inadequate, or exploitative and cruel.

All toxic parents cause damage to their children - damage that manifests itself in adulthood as difficulties with relationships, careers, decision making, and depression. Millions of adults suffer from the hurtful legacy of toxic parents, often without knowing it.

IT WASN'T YOUR FAULT

In this landmark book, bestselling author and psychologist Dr. Susan Forward confronts the legacy of toxic parents - and shows why it is so difficult to leave behind. In both her private psychotherapy practice and on her national radio call-in program (in the USA), Dr. Forward has encountered thousands of men and women who have suffered the severe emotional aftereffects of toxic parents - and yet have made little, if any, conscious connection between how their parents treated them and their current problems.

Like most of us they idealized their parents and believed that everything bad in their childhood was somehow their fault, They were still struggling to win the parental love and aprroval they had always yearned for but never received. At the core of every adult child of toxic parents - no matter how strong or successful he or she may appear - is a blameless child whose trust has been betrayed.

 The Full Facts book of Cold Reading

Books - The Full Facts book of
COLD READING

(Extract from Section 1 of Ian Rowlands book on Cold Reading)

Welcome to the Psychic Circus.

The Greatest Scam In History?

They are found throughout history.

They are found throughout the world.

And they defy explanation.

They are psychic readings, and everyone has either had one or knows someone who has. People find these readings astonishing, and with good reason, since they are often  intriguing and incredible. Let me describe what happens.

You go to see a psychic - someone to whom you are a complete stranger. The psychic, usually female, describes your personality with pin-point accuracy. She identifies events in your past and present. Her reading may include the names of people you know, and specific facts about your personal life, career, and plans for the future. She refers to your innermost thoughts and problems, she provides wisdom and guidance which seems to make sense. She may also offer glimpses into the future which have an uncanny way of coming true.

The Four Agreements

Books - The Four Agreements

Don Miguel Ruiz is known as a nagual, or shaman, of the Toltec tradition. The Toltecs were an ancient group of scientists and artists, that formed to explore and preserve the practices and spiritual knowledge of the ancient ones. It is not a religion, but a way of life that embraces spirit and honours all the spiritual masters who have taught on earth. Toltec wisdom arises from the same essential unity of truth as other sacred esoteric traditions that are found all over the world.

The Four Agreements are very simple yet very profound. To embrace and live each of the Four Agreements is to find yourself experiencing true personal freedom, possibly as never before.
