review 1: I adore Elaine Aron's work. Aron's and Tara Brach's work were my major influence as a therapist. Needless to say I first came across her through the HSP series. I did not have high hope on this seemingly common self help book, but it has very pleasantly exceeded my expectation. The book is a synthesis of various new wave approaches to therapy, one can argue that it is 'just plain old CBT' but it really is not. From what I am seeing, it artfully fulls together techniques and concepts from things like Family System Therapy, Schema Therapy, neuropsychology, self parenting, inner child work. It is a smooth synthesis of many relevant, effective concept. It touches on the idea of low self esteem, internalised shame, maladaptive schema.. all in one go.I like her writing really, i... moret is non-pretentious and effective. Nothing jarring or garish. I finished the book in 3 days.
review 2: I have to admit that I mostly skimmed this book. The writing was alright, and the book included a lot of interesting ideas, but it was really wordy. I did, however, really enjoy the chapter about the "six self-protections." Useful information, for sure. Overall, it was alright. I wouldn't recommend it to people, but it got it thinking about confidence and the things we do that hold us back in order to fit in or impress others. less
