Be Full of Yourself!: The Journey from Self-Criticism to Self-Celebration
In Be Full of Yourself!, Patricia Lynn Reilly has raised her voice in strength and clarity to remind us that women are not "misbegotten males." Internalized self-criticism and "not enoughism" must melt before Patricia's clear, brave words. As a therapist, I applaud her model of psychological wholeness grounded in self-celebration.  --Kate Wolf-Pizor, MFTIn Reviving Ophelia Mary Pipher recommends that girls and young women explore the culture's impact on their growth and development. For those of us who are parents, teachers, and counselors, Be Full of Yourself! provides an effective and practical format for such "consciousness raising." Patricia Lynn Reilly supports women of all ages to relinquish self-criticism and to reclaim self-celebration.  --Barbara Loften, Author of Personalizing the Past: Artifact History and Herstory KitsThanks to Patricia Lynn Reilly's new book Be Full of Yourself! we remember a time when we were full of ourselves and we knew that with our bare chests and eyelet panties we could be as bold and as beautiful as we dared. Patricia's book reminded me that I was once full of myself. I am now opening to the possibility of that fullness returning.  --Isie Hanson, Editor of The Dream Seed
