Reclaiming Your Life

The first book by an American psychotherapist to win an endorsement from the eminent therapist Alice Miller, Reclaiming Your Life lays out a powerful program for healing the effects of childhood abuse. Using examples from her private practice over fifteen years, Jenson demonstrates that twelve-step and similar programs, as well as traditional therapies, do not fully deal with the phenomenon of repressed pain. Until this plan is "processed" - retrieved from the unconscious, fully experienced, and grieved over - she believes adults will still be trapped in the patterns of childhood. Accessible, compassionate, and powerful, Jenson's step-by-step instructions will allow millions finally to process the buried plan of childhood - and live fully, consciously, and happily in the present.
