Summary

How often have we struggled unsuccessfully to find a way to change an unsatisfying and unfulfilled life? In this fascinating new book we are drawn into a world of adventure and mystery as eight people reveal new avenues of self-discovery. All of us are repositories of past experiences and forgotten memories that help to mold our personalities and influence our behavior. Uncovering such hidden parts of ourselves often discloses how we remain shackled by forces beyond our awareness. Dr. Berenson's absorbing and stimulating book shows new ways to awaken our conscious minds to the unknown forces within us. These remarkable case histories offer an inside look at the destructive influence of deeply hidden conflicts that often remain buried for a lifetime. Facing enormous obstacles, these eight courageous people took the path of guided imagery to find the underlying causes of what had appeared to be insurmountable problems.
