I just posted this on Newcomers, on MarkIII's "Books, Support or Any Other Tips" Thread before coming here:

Many of you know how much I've been affected by reading - and working - The Journey From Abandonment To Healing by Susan Anderson and how often I quote her.

Last night, to take a break from that, I picked up a book I bought months ago which my new IC recommended at my first session with her: You Are The One You've Been Waiting For by Richard Schwartz. I have been more affected by the first chapter of this book than by any of the many, many R books I've read since I joined these boards 6/09.

I have highlighted so much, I might as well dip the whole book in yellow ink!

At my IC Session today, we agreed to make this six-chapter book the work of my next six sessions (or more; many chapters are long and cover a lot).

Check it out.

While my recommendation is based only on the first chapter, still, I cannot recommend it highly enough. More than "Aha!" moments here (for me): some scales have fallen from my eyes.

Peace,
