About this item

Letting Go of Good takes a hard look at our long-cherished myths about goodness and worthiness and helps you connect to your genuine desires without being overwhelmed by fear and guilt. The key techniques for working through the compulsive need to always be good are learning to discern the messages of difficult emotions while connecting to your genuine desires. Practicing psychotherapist Andrea Mathews shares innovative tools for understanding and dialoging with emotions, developing intuition and discernment, and making decisions from a sacred place of desire and true compassion. With illuminating examples from her clinical practice and a powerful exploration of the nature of healing, this book shares a breakthrough approach to creating vulnerable, authentic relationships and a sustainable, spiritual experience of the true Self.

What we don't know, have forgotten or repressed, is the fact that the seeker is the soul and the finder is also the soul--or the authentic Self.
