About this listen
Have you grown up in a home where at least one of your parents were addicted to alcohol or some other substance?
Have you noticed that many of the emotions that impacted you as a child are still affecting you today?
Shame is one of the leading emotions that stem from growing up in a dysfunctional house hold. Feelings of shame are usually experienced in the form of self-hatred. One who feels shame can see the world as a place of suffering and loneliness - but you have the ability to set these hurtful feelings free!
In this audiobook, you'll discover a proven method that'll guide you on how to let go of these painful emotions. At the end of this book is my gently guided "letting go of shame" meditation.
The Blue Rainbow series is a collection of purposely short teachings and complimentary corresponding meditations. They have been created to convey single-focused topics. These topics teach and guide you on how you can let go of negative painful emotions.

Story
Everything you “know” about yourself today is based on who you decided you were when you were just four or five years old. In your childhood you formed decisions about yourself before you were even capable of thinking logically. Those decisions were based on a child’s emotional survival brain, and they are the foundation of the neural pathways of thought and feelings that are instrumental in forming your identity, both positive AND negative. This is why so many people have challenges in their adult lives, especially when it comes to their personal and professional relationships.

Safely, my friend, we have to visit our shadows and darkness, because that is the only way to get the full image, the full picture, and that is where love resides - in fullness. Loving Yourself Properly is an invitation to reconnect with the outcast parts of your existence. This journey is about us making space for the outcast parts of our soul that we hide, for the parts of our personality that we are too afraid to show. This invitation is about finding your voice - the voice of passion and fire if you so dare to allow it to be ignited.

An instructive guide to date.
Nope, not one of my parents engage in alcohol. However, I know many of my friends’ parents who do and I would want to help them out with the aid of this instructive audiobook. I have been a witness to several instances wherein shame and hatred were often seen in them. This led me to sought answers and so far, I’ve gotten what I need from this.
