The Self In Repair: Internal Pain and the Healing Process

This book is written for those that suffer from profound and painful emptiness. Too often people in pain feel that their only hope is to be with others or to have intense personal relationships that are active mostly to allow distraction from internal pain. It is hard for many counselors and family members to understand the dynamic of one's need for others and one's need for intense risky behavior. This book will help you understand yourself outside of the traditional categories of "needy" or "attention seeking" and instead give you a healthy and accurate way to interpret yourself and the choices you make. If DBT or counseling hasn't worked for you, this is a must read.
