How to Grow A second Skin for Your Soul: For Those Who Feel Hurt, Judged, Criticized, Abandoned, Invalidated, When Someone Else Acts Like a Jerk is for the openhearted and sensitive soul who is prone to losing his or her boundaries in relationships. Others may easily hurt this individual. Such a person may have difficulty expressing true feelings because of the fear that others will react negatively towards them. They may be afraid that if they speak their truth, others will become angry and abandon them, criticize, judge, invalidate, punish or send them on a guilt trip. As a result, the "self" or soul of this person may be imprisoned by dependency on others and the fear of how others may react. If this describes you, How to Grow a Second Skin for Your Soul may offer the help you need to emancipate your soul. This book can help guide you through the process of the development of healthy boundaries so that you become solid within your "self." In short, this book may be just the tonic you need to set yourself free to live life fully, perhaps for the very first time.
