The Body Never Lies : The Lingering Effects of Hurtful Parenting
The Body Never Lies  by Alice Miller
 £

In her latest book, Miller explores the physical effects of  repressing our true feelings from a young age. She argues that repressed emotional responses to early humiliations and unfulfilled needs are inevitably transferred to the body, producing long-term illness. She also believes that the majority of therapists are bent on fostering an attitude of forgiveness, whereas what survivors of parental cruelty need most is someone who shares their feelings of indignation.

I want to release the memories blocked in me....to remember what I chose to forget and I want to know why I did so....If we know and feel what happened to us then we will never wish to harm ourselves or others now."    Recommended.    More...

The Drama of Being A Child and the Search for the True Self
Drama of Being A Child by Alice Miller
 £
 
In her first book, Alice Miller explains her conviction that violence and cruelty in society have their roots in conventional child-rearing and education. She shows how many children, adapted from birth to the needs and ambitions of their parents, lose the ability to experience and express their true feelings, eventually to become estranged from their real selves.

Reclaiming Your Life : A Step-by-Step Guide to Using Regression Therapy to Overcome the Effects of Childhood Abuse
Reclaiming Your Life by Jean Jenson, M.S.W. (New Foreword by Alice Miller)
 £

"The adult child population [are] suffering from problems in their lives as a result of the defences they needed as children to survive their abusive families. Such recognition has pointed to the need to confront painful feelings rather than just learn new ways to behave... The necessary and final step is to understand what regression is, why it's needed in order to heal, and how to do it."
