Charlotte, North Carolina Jun 9, 2020 (Issuewire.com) - Psychotherapist Joseph Burgo, Ph.D. Releases New Self-Help Book - Building Self-Esteem
Author Joseph Burgo, Ph.D. is pleased to announce the release of his new self-help book, Building Self-Esteem: How Learning from Shame Helps Us to Grow. Released by New Rise Press in May 2020, the book is already receiving rave reviews from readers and reviewers.
Despite what most people believe, shame and self-esteem are not opposites.
Challenging widely-accepted views within the self-esteem movement, author Joseph Burgo argues that self-esteem does NOT thrive in the soil of non-stop praise and encouragement, but rather depends upon setting and meeting goals, living up to the expectations we hold for ourselves, and finally sharing our joy in achievement with the people who matter most to us. Along the way, listening to and learning from our encounters with shame will go further than affirmations and positive self-talk in helping us to build authentic self-esteem.
Richly illustrated with clinical stories from Burgo's 35 years in private practice, Building Self-Esteem also describes the myriad ways that unacknowledged shame often hides behind a broad spectrum of mental disorders including social anxiety, narcissism, addiction, and masochism
Praise for Building Self-Esteem: How Learning from Shame Helps Us to Grow:
"With the skill of a master storyteller, Burgo vividly brings to life, through his clients' struggles and his own, our shared journey to accept a startling truth: shame can either hobble us or help us thrive; it all depends on what we do with it. Savor this book's lessons and exercises. You'll come away with the kind of self-compassion that makes us all better people. "-- Dr. Craig Malkin, Lecturer, Harvard Medical School and author of the internationally acclaimed book, Rethinking Narcissism.
Building Self-Esteem: How Learning from Shame Helps Us to Grow is available for purchase in print and ebook formats.
