How to Escape the Messiah Trap: A Workbook for When Helping You is Hurting Me - Tapa blanda

This workbook for co-dependents offers concrete steps to escaping the "Messiah trap". It explains how to acknowledge the need of spiritual assistance, listen to the hurting child inside and learn to accept love and nurturance. Exercises and questions help readers to review their day, check in on their feelings and identify something good they can do for themselves and to help themselves. This book argues that "Messiahs" believe that their purpose in life is to help other people but in actual fact the truth is that the "Messiahs" use other people to work out their own unresolved inner pain.
