Coexisting but conflicting needs create self-sabotaging behaviors. This is why we resist efforts to change, often until they feel completely futile. But by extracting crucial insight from our most damaging habits, building emotional intelligence by better understanding our brains and bodies, releasing past experiences at a cellular level, and learning to act as our highest potential future selves, we can step out of our own way and into our potential.

I love this book!
As someone who experienced childhood trauma in several ways, I truly appreciate how B. E. Townsend approaches the topic of healing yourself. I've always believed we have the power to overcome past traumas and can reprogram our minds to believe in a positive, possible future for ourselves. I use several of the methods shared here, including meditation, exercise and therapy. The combination of these powerful tools has helped me recognize that my childhood trauma was not my fault, and that I am a strong, confident person because I seek peace and love in my life. I am committed to changing my neuropathways that made me feel unloved and unworthy. I practice daily gratitude as well, and it works wonders. Thank you, B. E. Townsend for this helpful, wonderful book that is needed by so many!!!
