My Holding You Up Is Holding Me Back: Over-Responsibility and Shame
reviewed on + 248 more book reviews


From back cover: "Do you put others' needs ahead of your own? Do you take on other people's worries even though you can't do anything about them? Do you insist on helping others, even when it can be harmful to you? If so, you may be over responsible. You may spend your time caring for others and still feel unworthy and undeserving yourself. ... Joy Miller looks at how over responsibility hinders our growth and tells us how to start caring for ourselves with over 50 hands on recovery techniques." Great exercises. I used the exercises with clients and workshops within my therapy practice.
