A former bush pilot, turned hypnotherpaist, the author uses his early life experiences to illustrate how childhood traumas affect our adult life regarding relationships and destructive habits and addictions.
Suicidal at one time, he tells how he overcame his depression, and gives tips, techniques and advice on how readers of this book can do it too.
He suffered sexual abuse from 3 adults and severe emotional abuse as well. He was frequently told that he would be sold, and lived in fear of any visitors who were wearing a suit, or of hearing the phone ring, believing it might be someone coming to buy him.
He developed a fear of women, which showed up in the women he attracted and the relationships he developed.
His mother sexually abused him, and terrorized him at knife point. He had frequent nightmares of having his throat slit by his mother. She also held him face down over a fire, and held him under water. His father held him by his ankles over the railing of a high suspension bridge. He did not feel wanted or loved by his parents or 5 siblings.
He explains in simple terms the psychological reasons for relationship problems and addictions of all kinds, and gives practical ways of healing and growing.
This is a simple book to read and understand. The techniques and advice the author gives are tested and proven to work. This is a well written book, by a writer who is intelligent, but who barely made it through high school because of alcohol and drugs.
