Hi, Nicole. Thank you for sending me the .pdf file of your book. I've already read about 40 pages and I love it. So, please don't take the following as a criticism. It is absolutely not meant to be.
You seem to understand that people are going to be skeptical about your ability to really help them and yet you employ an in your face approach that screams danger to people (like me) who have been disappointed a thousand times and are reluctant to trust anybody, let alone people who say "trust me". I'm sure you know that toning down your "chirpy" manner would be less frightening and have your reasons for not doing so.
So why did I find your first posts irritating and a bit scary? Perhaps because I've found people who employ a super positive manner are usually leaking hostility. They have been hurt many times and are just waiting for it to happen again so they can turn on the bastard. When the bastard is me, that scares me.
But now I know (well, I'm pretty convinced) this not what you are doing. This is your actual method. That's cool but who knew, in the beginning? Certainly not me. And maybe some others are still unconvinced.
I love your book so far. Very interesting ideas. I also love the way you say things like, "Ok, I have healed! I am back with a Huge smile (thanks in large part to my mom ..." My response is, "Must be nice to have such a mom. Mine threw things at my head. Now, I'm envious. Oh, bother, another demon surfaces." Lol.
I think you should consider starting a "therapy" thread (here or elsewhere). I will personally sign up to learn how to light up my darkest rooms.
