A reader tells his/her story."I have been in therapy for a number of years and it has completely changed my life.""Your book showed me that there are others out there who see things the same way and empathize with what children such as myself have gone through.

A French reader tells his/her story."[W]ith the help of this therapy, and as I recently read your book, a great healing happened in me, for I felt heard and understood like never before, and I felt the RIGHT to NOT love my parents. I gave myself that authorisation and somehow something very settle hapenned in me, that really restored a confidence and joy in my being, the joy of respecting myself and of being FREE of this 'toxic link' to my abusive parents, who are always in denial of having hurting me"------------------------------------------------------------------Read more about this podcast here:http://howihelpmyself.com/alice-miller-audio-english/Follow the Alice Miller Bot:https://twitter.com/AliceMillerBotPlease send your feedback to: AliceMillerAudio+listener@gmail.comI would love to hear from you!If you like the podcast and it improves your life, consider donating: http://howihelpmyself.com/donate/Please share this podcast with many people!

A reader thanks Alice Miller and tells her story."I’d like to tell you a little about my story, I just don’t know where to start because I repressed everything until I was 35. I am now 47 and I’m STILL uncovering feelings, body memories, etc. You are correct when you say the body never lies, because mine never did, I just had to ignore it until I could deal with it."------------------------------------------------------------------Read more about this podcast here:http://howihelpmyself.com/alice-miller-audio-english/Follow the Alice Miller Bot:https://twitter.com/AliceMillerBotPlease send your feedback to: AliceMillerAudio+listener@gmail.comI would love to hear from you!If you like the podcast and it improves your life, consider donating: http://howihelpmyself.com/donate/Please share this podcast with many people!AttributionText: http://www.alice-miller.com/readersmail_en.php?lang=en&nid=465&grp=0805Picture: https://www.flickr.com/photos/crazymandi/7632203602/in/photostream/

A reader thanks Alice Miller for The Body Never Lies."After several therapies and over 100 various books, you are the FIRST person that has had a positive impact that genuinely lifts the veil off my eyes and reminds me that allowing my honest feelings to exert themselves is not crazy or selfish."Alice Miller laments that this knowledge is not learned at university.------------------------------------------------------------------Read more about this podcast here:http://howihelpmyself.com/alice-miller-audio-english/Follow the Alice Miller Bot:https://twitter.com/AliceMillerBotPlease send your feedback to: AliceMillerAudio+listener@gmail.comI would love to hear from you!If you like the podcast and it improves your life, consider donating: http://howihelpmyself.com/donate/Please share this podcast with many people!AttributionText: http://www.alice-miller.com/readersmail_en.php?lang=en&nid=464&grp=0805Picture: https://www.flickr.com/photos/crazymandi/7632203602/in/photostream/

A reader points: "I think it's interesting that the phenomenon of the abused child sympathising/identifying fully with the parent is much like Stockholm Syndrome."Alice Miller agrees: "It is absolutely the same mechanism that works for a child."------------------------------------------------------------------Read more about this podcast here:http://howihelpmyself.com/alice-miller-audio-english/Please send your feedback to: AliceMillerAudio+listener@gmail.comI would love to hear from you!If you like the podcast and it improves your life, consider donating: http://howihelpmyself.com/donate/Please share this podcast with many people!AttributionText: http://www.alice-miller.com/readersmail_en.php?lang=en&nid=466&grp=0805Picture: https://www.flickr.com/photos/crazymandi/7632203602/in/photostream/

Interview given by Alice Miller to Borut Petrovic JesenovecQuestions:Among thousands of other folk tales [Little Red Riding-Hood] stands out as incredibly popular. What does it tell us about our attitude to children in our culture?I am always shocked by the "official" interpretation that the mother of Little Red Riding-Hood is well-intended and caring. She sends her young daughter into a dangerous forest explaining that this is an honourable task (poor grandmother is sick after all). I find this mother cruel, wicked, even perverse. Would you agree?When I wanted to talk about some of the nasty aspects of my childhood, I was turned down and reminded that everything has its good and its bad side and that’s why we should concentrate on the bright side of life and adopt a positive attitude. In such argumentation even abuse has something valuable. How would you react to such relativisation and relativism?How would you define abuse?How many people do you think were abused in their childhood?Human blindness to abuse

Interview given by Alice Miller to Borut Petrovic Jesenovec for the magazine ONA (Slovenia)Questions:How did you discover that the only function of ["Thou shalt honor thy father and thy mother"] is in fact manipulation and subordination of the child?You go so far as to state that the fourth commandment causes physical ailments. How would you explain this link? Did it cause physical ailments in your case?Is love, seasoned with 'only' occasional 'educational' spanking, possible?Why is spanking always wrong?Many despicable acts are committed in the name of parental love. How would you define real parental love?You speak of child abuse in our cultures as A Forbidden Issue. Why is this so? What is needed to change this state of affairs?How can we direct hatred, rage and anger at the proper recipient (and not at ourselves or our partners)?One of the basic psychological truths is that persons emotionally deprived in childhood hope all their lives to receive the love denied to them. Why is it so hard to accept that w

The Longest Journey - or What Can We Expect from Psychotherapy?"It has taken me all my life to allow myself to be what I am and to listen to what my inner self is telling me, more and more directly, without waiting for permission from others or currying approval from people symbolizing my parents.""As the journey to ourselves is a life-long journey, its end will not coincide with the end of therapy. But successful therapy should have helped us to discover and perceive our own genuine needs and to learn to satisfy them. This is precisely what individuals wounded in early childhood have never been able to do."------------------------------------------------------------------Read more about this podcast here:http://howihelpmyself.com/alice-miller-audio-english/Please send your feedback to: AliceMillerAudio+listener@gmail.comI would love to hear from you!If you like the podcast and it improves your life, consider donating: http://howihelpmyself.com/donate/Please share this podcast with many people!AttributionText

"It is not our feelings that make us a danger to ourselves and our environment, it is the dissociation of those feelings caused by our fear of them. It is here that we must seek the reasons for amok killers, for suicide bombers, and for the countless court judges who close their eyes to the real causes of crime, so as to spare the parents of the delinquents and to keep their own histories in the dark."------------------------------------------------------------------Read more about this podcast here:http://howihelpmyself.com/alice-miller-audio-english/Please send your feedback to: AliceMillerAudio+listener@gmail.comI would love to hear from you!If you like the podcast and it improves your life, consider donating: http://howihelpmyself.com/donate/Please share this podcast with many people!AttributionText: http://www.alice-miller.com/articles_en.php?lang=en&nid=53&grp=11Picture: https://www.flickr.com/photos/crazymandi/7632203602/in/photostream/
