Comments from a reader:

I have just finished reading Breaking the Chain of Low Self-Esteem. Two weeks ago my Rabbi told me that you cannot cure yourself until you know you are sick. I think you would call the same thing "awareness". Both the Rabbi and to a greater degree, your book, have not only made me aware, but I was on the path of rehabilitation before I had finished reading Chapter 1. I am 62 years old and have lived in the wilderness of low self esteem. Your book is the harbinger of change. Now I will read it again.

Thank you most sincerely,

Dr. Marilyn SorensenDr. Sorensen has made her life work that of understanding low self esteem and developing a program for recovery from this devastating problem. Dr. Sorensen gained international recognition as an authority on low self-esteem following release of her first book, Breaking the Chain of Low Self-Esteem.

Many who've read it say it's the best book ever written on low self-esteem and has dramatically altered their lives. Dr. Sorensen considers her most important professional contributions to be not only her work on understanding the inner experience of those with low self-esteem, but also the incorporation of those insights into the development of a highly effective recovery program for low self-esteem.

She currently provides psychotherapy at her Portland office as well as coaching clients by phone across the United States and presently in 15 other countries.
