Details: Guilt is the emotion we feel when we think we've done something we're not supposed to do or haven't done something we think we should. Guilt is an old familiar emotion experienced since we were children.

Often your own unconscious judgmental verdict is "Guilty as Charged" even when such guilt is irrational or undeserved. Guilt is present in addictions, anxiety, depression and even physical illnesses. Relationship problems and self-defeating behaviors are also linked to guilt. Guilty feelings create chronic worrying and other negative behaviors. You may not even realize that you are feeling guilty—but you feel stuck anyway; no matter what you do, you feel bad. Guilt is a losing battle, an inner conflict where you always feel like you're losing. But, why not ask yourself, "Am I in jail or a self-imposed prison?"

The material in this book will show you how you can overcome the habitual guilt that is keeping you locked up and not working for you anymore. We will show you how to examine guilt-making situations the next time it occurs and you'll learn how to ask yourself the right questions to alleviate the guilt. You will discover new skills and ways to help you analyze situations which cause you to feel guilty and be able to eliminate unnecessary bad feelings from your 'old' emotional responses.

So, how do you counteract guilt and shame? In reading this book, you will discover and recognize:

• Who Pulls Your Strings
