In this transformational guide to therapeutic freedom, former defiant, untreated victim-turned-psychotherapist Christopher Loeffler shows us how to: remove the corrosive shame and piece together the fragmented victim story name the offender to liberate numbed feelings and clarify behaviors create a profound new self-empathy and a more hopeful worldview In Leading with My Thin Chin, Loeffler explores the arc of recovery-the passage from victim to survivor to advocate-in a series of vivid case stories drawn from his active practice and his personal experience. He concludes with two original tools to accelerate the healing process. Shame Transformation breaks down the pivotal role of shame in blocking our recovery. The Emancipation Process uncovers parental feelings and projections, allowing us to claim our true identity.
