description: A book for psychotherapists and their clients - and for anyone who wants to make the journey from shame to unshame. Carolyn Spring author of Recovery is my best revenge: my experience of trauma abuse and dissociative identity disorder documents in this her second book her journey through psychotherapy to heal and resolve trauma-based shame which had resulted in a catastrophic mental breakdown in her early thirties and an eventual diagnosis of dissociative identity disorder (DID). She then embarked on a nearly ten year journey of psychotherapy through which she came to realise that shame had actually saved her life. However the cost to this protective function is a life lived dissociated from feelings of joy connection love and belonging. This book explores Carolyns pathway towards Unshame. Suitable for both professionals and survivors alike it is a fascinating insight into that most private and mysterious of places - the therapy room and the mind.
