In The Woman's Guide to Total Self-Esteem, a clinical psychologist and a psychoanalyst team up to take a comprehensive new approach to the challenge of helping women confront their old destructive beliefs and begin to reconstruct all of the components of a healthy and fulfilling self-esteem. Through vivid stories and more than fifty step-by-step exercises, they help readers heal old wounds and learn what they can do to repair each of the eight essential building blocks of self esteem. Throughout, women are offered a chance to assess their individual strengths and weaknesses and discover ways to test their skills out at work, at home, and in their relationships, and learn to see setbacks as opportunities to grow stronger and more resilient and thereby create a deeper and more lasting self-esteem. -from the publisher's website |
