Product Description
Product Description
Breaking the Spell will help the reader to understand how self-esteem operates through uncovering the negative and punitive thinking and behaviour by which we maintain low self-esteem. This book suggests ways of breaking these destructive behaviour patterns and provides ways to create a healthier and more loving sense of self. Positive self-esteem helps us to demand respect, it gives us the confidence to stand up for ourselves and to go out in the world. It enables us to take responsibility for our actions without wracking ourselves with needless guilt and shame. When we learn to stop hating ourselves, what has to replace it is Love.
From the Author
This book has its own unique angle on a popular topic and aims to put its ideas across in a direct and accessible manner. Breaking the Spell is about understanding how self-esteem operates. It seeks to uncover the systems of negative and punitive thinking and behaviour, by which we maintain low self-esteem. It offers ways of breaking these destructive behaviour patterns and provides suggestions for creating a healthier and more loving sense of self. I believe that when we learn to stop hating ourselves, what has to replace it is Love.... Each chapter builds the journey, step by step, from low self-esteem to a sense of self worth that can be consolidated and can thrive. The chapters contain exercises for you to use and suggestions for rewarding yourself for having reached the end of the chapter. It is up to you whether or not you do the exercises, some people like to have things to do, others just like to read and take in the ideas.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Practical and easy to use advice,
By Dr P Fisser (Yeovil, Somerset United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Breaking the Spell: The Key to Recovering Self-esteem (Paperback)
Rachel's book is easy to read and understand and everyone who reads it will identify with at least one of character traits that Rachel discusses. Of particular significance to me was learning to label thoughts and allow only the positive ones to take up my time. I very quickly felt a distinct improvement in my wellbeing and would recommend Breaking the Spell to anyone who suffers from low self-esteem.

Breaking the Spell: The Key to Recovering Self-esteem,
By A Customer
This review is from: Breaking the Spell: The Key to Recovering Self-esteem (Paperback)
Like other reviewers, I found Rachel's book to be an approachable and encouraging read. Her sensitivity to the rhythm and sound of language makes even the prose passages pleasurable and easy to read. Rachel's perceptive descriptions and no-nonsense analysis of the issues attending low self-esteem enabled me to identify the particular character of my own concerns, but also re-assured me that I was not alone, something that was itself a great comfort. This book can enable a reader to learn about, acknowledge and tackle in a practical way some potentially very distressing and often deeply entrenched ways of thinking, all under the guidance of a very safe pair of hands.

Breaking the spell: The key to recovering self esteem,
By A Customer
This review is from: Breaking the Spell: The Key to Recovering Self-esteem (Paperback)
Reviewer: Reader & therapist from Birmingham UK.Summary: A lovely, well laid out & empowering book. A wonderful book, it helped me tremendously both personally & professionally. It is written in an accessable style with plenty of exercises for the reader to work through together with personal experiences from the author ( which are very normalising). The book could be used as either a self help or therapist resource.
