The walls people construct to prevent a repeat of early trauma and disillusionment are maintained at a high cost. The self-insulating defences that immunize against pain can eclipse one's life and result in characterological bitterness, resentment, envy and spite. With literary elegance, Dr Peter Shabad offers his unique perspective on developing self-acceptance, letting go of old wishes, mourning losses, forgiving and restoring hope. He emphasizes how the healing power of the therapeutic relationship, and the generosity of spirit that it engenders, paves the way for openness to a more realized and meaningful life.
