In this episode I refer to a book by Beverly Engel called “It wasn’t your fault”. It was a book brought up in a group therapy session that I and two others had read. I thought it would be a good topic for a podcast.
Her conclusions are based on her 30 plus years as a psychotherapist and as a victim of abuse herself. She believes that fault will manifest in Shame and that Shame can be negated by what she calls Self-compassion.
I do not agree with her findings, but I respect her hard work and frankness in her own life story to aid the reader in utilizing her solution.
I don’t put much weight into self-help books when things like sex abuse and traumatic events have altered lives forever. This is just my opinion, and I mean no harm or any disrespect to Beverly Engel or anyone who finds books like this to help them through the storm.
