A short summary of The Tao of Fully Feeling:
How to develop emotional intelligence, even though your parents suck.
My favorite Pete Walker quote from the book:
"Children cannot experience the raw, ongoing pain of parental rejection and still maintain the desire to live."
Questions to ponder while reading The Tao of Fully Feeling:
Have you been able to overcome your childhood trauma?
Have you been able to forgive yet?
My review of the book:
Goes directly into the challenges facing those raised by bad parents.
A good process of grieving and recovery.
I, personally, think that a close relationship with God, as well as a community to worship with (and replace the family ties), is integral to healing. However, it sounds like the author had a really bad experience with it.
