Debbie Ford, author of The Dark Side Of The Light Chasers (Riverhead Trade Paperbacks, June, 1999), draws her unique talent and insight from personal in-depth studies of transformation and human potential.
Her work as a coach, teacher, consultant and integral faculty member of The Chopra Center For Well Being in La Jolla, California, has opened the hearts of thousands, bringing them the gift of self-love and emotional freedom.
In Debbie’s search for her own healing, she explored psychotherapy and hypnosis, participated in dozens of workshops and seminars, and spent time in rehabilitation centers and 12-step programs. Her goal was to rid herself of the parts of her being that seem to keep her from fulfilling her dreams and finding wholeness.
Debbie’s healing took a quantum leap after gaining a profound understanding of Deepak Chopra’s description of the holographic universe. Through this shift she discovered that to become whole, she needed to approach her healing in a new way.
She learned that rather than trying to get rid of or suppress negative traits to become whole, she needed to first identify these unlovable traits and then find the gift in each one. By inventing specific techniques, unique to her workshop The Shadow Process, Debbie was finally able to embrace and love all of herself.
This shift in her perception changed her life so remarkably that she decided to commit her life to sharing these insights through books, personal training and leading workshops nationwide. Debbie teaches people how to make peace with their “shadow or dark side.”
Debbie is a graduate of JFK University in psychology with an emphasis in consciousness studies. She lives in La Jolla with her son Beau.
Debbie Ford believes that we each hold within us a trace of every human characteristic that exists, the capacity for every human emotion. We are born with the ability to express this entire spectrum of characteristics. But, Ford points out, our families and our society send us strong messages about which ones are good and bad. So when certain impulses arise, we deny them instead of confronting them, giving them a healthy voice, then letting them go. It is to these feelings that Ford turns our attention, these parts of our selves that don't fit the personae we have created for the rest of the world. She shows us the effects of living in the dark, of keeping all our supposedly unsavory impulses under wraps. We find ourselves disproportionately frustrated and angry at the selfishness of friends, the laziness of colleagues, the arrogance of siblings. When we are unable to reconcile similar impulses in ourselves, Ford explains, we waste our own energy judging others instead of empathizing. But most important, we deny ourselves the power and freedom of living authentically. Through the stories and exercises in The Dark Side of the Light Chasers, Debbie Ford shows us not only how to recognize our hidden emotions, but also how to find the gifts they offer us. The very impulses we most fear may be the key to what is lacking in our lives.
好书看完以后,总是魂不守舍,念念不忘,在试图掩盖冲动的情绪之后,还是没有憋住写一些读后感受,也可算作是对这本书的提炼与总结。这本书就像那本《乌合之众》一样,能让自己察言观色,洞悉周遭人群的心理阴影,更能深度剖析自己,了解自己为什么会喜欢某种现象,了解自己为什么会...
评分坐在图书城的防火帘下面一个下午,我看完了这本书。原来每一种缺陷都是一种礼物,而拥抱真实,让我前所未有的踏实。 做一个完整的自己,是每一个人有意无意的追求一生的事。大部分人从别人身上获得完整,尤其是伴侣身上;于是他们把自己力量的源泉交给了他人。 而从这一天起,...
评分本书比较拖沓,适合一目十行。大体可以概括为一段话: 每个人的身上都聚集了所有的人格特征,只是有些被刻意压抑了,而这些被压抑的特征会通过其他方式释放出来,比如投影到别人身上,即认为别人具有这种特质,或者会对别人反映出来的该特征反应激烈。我们该做的是发掘这些特...
评分你愿意做一个好人,还是一个完整的人? 看这本书的过程中,事实上不是抱着全盘接受的态度去看的,鄙夷鸡汤的惯性始终都在,所以甚至都没有按照自己一贯的阅读习惯去逐字精读。 但是看完了后,觉得其实这本书不全是鸡汤,里面有很多心理学的内容。 同时也是看完后(而不是看...
