Publisher's Synopsis
Revealing her own long quest for self-esteem, the author explores the nature of this quality, showing how crippling a lack of it can be, and how recapturing it can transform our lives. Too many lose the sense of self-worth early on. Girls are especially vulnerable, often turning from free spirits into "female impersonators" by adolescence.;The author describes how, by returning to her childhood self through techniques such as imagery, guided meditation and artistic expression, she rediscovered the strong, secure person everyone is born to be. She aims to help anyone heal the inner child of the past through these and other means, and includes case histories.
