Connie Dawson Ph.D. Shares LIFE BEYOND SHAME

Author Connie Dawson Ph.D. takes on what she calls the "Old Rules," which she says cast a shadow of undeserved shame on most of us, rules that have been inadvertently passed, without examination, from generation to generation by our : families. Dawson's "Life Beyond Shame: Rewriting the Rules" (published by Balboa Press) is a call-to-action and a guide to help readers cast off these shame-based regulations and adopt "New Rules" that will lead to healthier self-concepts and interactions.

"The rules in question govern the way in which we have relationships. The rules are implicit. They aren't posted, yet for the most part, we unknowingly march to their tune. Taking the set of 7 rules out of the closet and putting them on the refrigerator makes them known and available to change," Dawson explains.

The book is presented in an easy-to-read format, taking a pragmatic approach to present its case: Dawson provides stories, examples and suggested methods to move away from the "Old Rules" to the "New Rules," and demonstrates how to implement these changes into daily life.

Through her book, Dawson hopes to help "readers wake up to what has guided their behavior and realize they can make other choices if they want to be happier and lead more authentic lives."
