Today millions of people are suffering the effects of a core personal problem --not loving themselves as they should. The negative fall-out from this affliction of self-hate includes child behavior problems, anxiety disorders, depression, addictions, over-dependent relationships, and many other troubles. Yet, part of the self-hate problem comes from the lack of common knowledge and understanding of what healthy self-love is all about. In this book, health professional Denise Marie Mari, Ph.D. describes the elements of healthy friendship with oneself and gives hope for greater love.
