Product Description

Product Description
Drawing from extensive experience in helping people all over the world learn to function more harmoniously by embracing their inner selves, Hal and Sandra Stone focus on the most ubiquitous sub-personality, the shrill voice inside that never lets a person forget their "mistakes". The inner critic can make people feel bad about themselves by creating and exacerbating anxiety, shame, depression, low self-esteem, exhaustion and stress. This book tells how this negative voice develops, how it affects relationships with the reader and others, and what can be done to transform a tyrannical inner critic into a companion and friend.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible, 27 Jun 2006
By T. Gonda "terry_of_ro" (Royal Oak, MI USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Hal and Sidra Stone are pioneers in this field of inner voice dialogue. Think evolution from Freud's id, ego, super ego...through Transactional Analysis (Parent, Child, Adult) through Bradshaw's Inner child work...to inner voice dialogue. They have video's books and workshops and have trained numerous professionals in this technique. The result is a genuinely effective technique that gives us a viable framework to understand why we often have opposing thoughts and feelings and the tools to move us in a direction of acting from a more "adult" place.
The book explains where the critic and other sub-personalities come from, the concept of disowned selves and how instead of trying to "choke" our critic into silence, we can actually take a more lasting approach to understanding it and the related subpersonalities, hold the primary subs and the disowned selves together and work toward balance and the achievement of a strong aware ego. Don't be scared off by the lingo here, it is very understandable and usable information.

5.0 out of 5 stars stop beating yourself image up, 22 April 2009
By Mrs. L. H. Anderson (scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have found this book to be very helpful in my journey of self-discovery, as it has allowed me to be kinder on myself and respect that I am not perfect, but there is room for growth. I am a trainee counsellor and this book has enabled me to accept the aspects of myself that I want to dismiss, and it inspires and gives hope to the despairing out there. it is very readable, and highly applicable to anyone, whether you have an understanding of couselling or have been a client.
