Synopsis

We've all experienced moments when we lose control of a situation and ourselves. Now, in Growing Yourself Back Up, the first book to explain the idea of emotional regression to the general reader, bestselling author John Lee identifies the circumstances that cause these seemingly uncontrollable feelings and shows how they are directly tied to our experience as children.

No adult, explains Lee, need ever experience the helpless feelings of childhood again. Here are his proven methods and visualization exercises, developed in his popular workshops, for recognizing, preventing, and diffusing regression in ourselves and others. He teaches, for example, that adults cannot be abandoned, they can only be left; if we're feeling abandoned we're regressing. He also reminds us that no matter how overwhelmed we are, adults always have options; if we believe we don't, we're in a regression.

Growing Yourself Back Up will show you how to:

● develop strong emotional boundaries and convey them to others

● learn the Detour Method that reverses regression

● confront without regressing

● communicate with the authority figures who push your buttons

If you’re trying to figure yourself out - why you are who you are and do the things you do - this is a book I’d recommend without hesitation. I only discovered the idea of Regression from a podcast about relationships that I was listening to. It was referenced by the guest (I have since forgotten the......more

This book was recommended by my new therapist and I'm blown away by how relevant it is to my life. Through therapy I've learned how my childhood has affected my current self, but this is a totally new way of looking at it. We all regress emotionally at different time for different reasons. I learned......more

Goodreads review by Susan on July 15, 2008

Wow! What I am learning from this book is essential to survival at work and will probably be a great tool for home too. The book proposes that the "high-test" scenarios we find ourselves in occur because something has happened to throw us back into defenseless (defensive) child-mode by reminding us......more

Goodreads review by Kurt on January 30, 2013

I think this book is a must read to begin to understand how events in our childhood can affect sub-concouisly how we act, behave and communicate as an adult that can dramatically keep us from experiencing intimacy and value within our selves (self worth), our relationships with others with God. It w......more
