FOREWORD:

In the course of growing up, many folks pick up attitudes that drag them down. Do you feel bad if you express anger? Are you ashamed by your feelings? Do you harass yourself if you make a mistake or fail? Do you experience guilt when you put your own needs before those of others? Be-good-to-yourself Therapy was written to help you overcome the distorted notions that keep you from living fully and honestly. Although many people today may equate self-esteem with self-indulgence, genuine self-love begins with the recognition that each of us is God's handiwork. To love oneself is to express love for God, the Creator. What's more, you cannot be a gift to others unless you nurture your own spiritual, psychological, and physical well-being. In this booklet, Cherry Hartman, a clinical social worker for over sixteen years, has compiled basic rules for coping from day to day. Be good to yourself — enjoy this book and let its rules free you for more peaceful, harmonious living.
