Healing the Child Within – For Crying Out Loud!

Don’t be fooled by me.
Don’t be fooled by the face I wear
for I wear a mask, a thousand masks,
masks that I’m afraid to take off,
and none of them is me.

From Please Hear What I’m Not Saying by Charles C. Finn

I searched for the book I’m talking about today for about five years. It’s one of the classics that I haphazardly tossed away in one of my infamous purges. There’s another one that was used in one of my college classes that’s as important (Bradshaw On: The Family) but I won’t discuss it further today except to say that several weeks ago, I bit the bullet and ordered them both. (I will be talking about Bradshaw’s at a later date!)

Today’s offering is a book I not only devoured in the 1980s… I never forgot it or the author, which is odd…
