The Day the Music Stopped

Excitement and joy are suddenly missing from your life. You search for it in a thousand ways. Change may help for a while but the oft-felt sense of a void or damaged part of your core personality reappears, becoming a source of great frustration and anger in your life.

While early wounds influence our choices and may never permanently disappear, there are ways to re-enchant the authentic and vital self. By looking at our rich inner lives, the prima materia, we can transcend our wounds and find a sense of freedom and peace.

Subjects covered include:
. Boundaries and Entitlement
. Expectations and Handling Disappointments
. Shame and the "Humongous Conscience"
. Deciding Which Games are Worth Playing
. Creativity and Reclaiming the Lost Self
. Recognizing What's Authentic & What's Not

This book offers a rich and realistic picture of a human dilemma that nearly all of us face at least once in our lives. By thoroughly exploring this territory, the author gives us the assurance that we are not alone when we find ourselves in this place. But much more than that, she has mapped the territory and has described the paths through it, to a place of creative confidence on the other side.
