Have you ever wondered why you negatively respond the way you do…why your emotions are so over-sensitive…why your emotions rule over you with such overwhelming power … why your negative emotions go too deep and stay there too long… why you take things so personally… why you struggle with such fear, anger and rejection… why you get so depressed like a dark cloud is hanging over your head or on your shoulders like a cloak of darkness…why you feel so uncomfortable when in a close and intimate setting or in front of crowds and have to fight social fears…why you feel so empty and unfulfilled…?

God desires for you to find the answers to the recurring fear, hurt, betrayal, anxiety, panic, stress, rage, feeling unimportant, not loved, not valued, left out, failure, weak, inadequate, not good enough, and insecurity. Do these words seem familiar to you and do they re-visit throughout your life? Are the same messages and feelings that influence you too often? In this book, I will provide you with the answers to these questions and more. There is a way for you to actually “get” free and “stay” free from these troubling, and all too familiar issues. If you think you already know the answers to your problems and you don’t need any help, you should realize that you cannot have all the answers. There is no shame in learning, but there is shame in having the opportunity to learn and refusing it. I encourage you to open your mind and your heart and prepare yourself to receive the truths and understanding you will find in this book.

Tangible problems rarely do as much damage as the negative thoughts, emotions and behaviors that people practice in response to their problems. Many people experience internal prolonged suffering that is mostly self-induced as a result of something in their past that is unresolved. If the past remains unresolved, it will keep you in an emotional prison that will rule you until you finally deal with it and get it resolved. Have you ever wondered why you respond the way you do? Why do your emotions have such power over you and you have to fight with being over sensitive? Why do you take it so personally sometimes even when what you taking personal do not have anything to do with you? Why do you have such fear of rejection and other emotions that can cause such potential for conflict to where you constantly have to over guard your words so you won’t go too deep, too quickly and stay there too long? Honestly ask yourself if you struggle with any or all of the following: anxiety, depression, panic, unworthiness, rage, uncontrolled anger, lust, fantasy lust, pornography, eating disorders, obsessions and compulsions, feeling not good enough, not important, left out, not loved, not accepted? Is your self worth, self-image and self-esteem low or damaged? Everyone has wounds, traumas, sins and mistakes in their past. If they are alive and still breathing, they are not exempt!
