If you suspect you have been shamed, read this book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Released from Shame: Recovery for Adult Children of Dysfunctional Families (People Helper Books) (Paperback)
This was an excellent book. It helps remove the blindfolds from your eyes so you can see how being brought up in a dysfunctional family affects you. She makes you feel like she knows what it is like to feel like everybody else is "different" and "better" than you. She gets to the root of how people wind up feeling that way. She also exposes tends in churches that tend to promote an unhealthy Christian experience. By this I mean she draws distinctions between a healthy well balanced church and a church that keeps people in bondage. She is sympathetic and understanding and she gives her own life story. One great thing about the book is that it gives solutions and a way up and out of shame! I definitely recommend her, as well as "Pain and Pretending" by Rich Buhler (perhaps out of print), "Boundaries" by Henry Cloud and John Townsend and "Changes that Heal" by Henry Cloud. I have bought at least three copies of Sandra Wilson's book and have recommended it to others!

Insightful, fantastic,

Finally someone that understands me. I've always wondered why I felt different. Sandra Wilson finally explains it in simple English, because she's been there done that. I have bought this book and given it to 3 friends who now also understand what it feels like to be known and understood. For one couple it saved their marriage. "If you've enver felt like a a caterpillar in a butterfly world" this book is for you. It deals with dysfunction in a practical problem solving context. Not woe is me, but Praise the Lord you can live a full life "released from Shame."

Excellent book for "catepillars" desiring to be butterflies,

I thought this book was excellent! Great content, presented in a personal way that lets you know that this is not just "theory" to the author, this was/is her journey as well. I recommend taking the time to do some of the suggested exercises as they will stretch your growth potential and exercise your "wings." Great Read! Great for personal growth!
