THE SHAME-BASED FAMILY--2 Hour Audiobook Lecture on CD

In this intense lecture series THE SHAME-BASED FAMILY, John Bradshaw offers his perspective on ways multigenerational shame is transmitted in family systems and is the root cause of addictive and compulsive behaviors. John describes how family-of-origin rules and attitudes become encoded in each family member and how shame in engendered through abandonment and rejection. This type of dysfunctional family system can lead to generations of dysfunctional families, abusers, and addicts contaminating each new family in its wake. In this intensely personal workshop, John Bradshaw provides therapy and treatment methods to heal and stop the insanity of the past. Without this intervention, shame will continue to fuel the fire of addictions. Bradshaw offers hope and concrete ways to rescript, enhance, and enrich your life.
