By following this simple, effective plan, you will be able to:

Recognize the difference between good guilt and toxic guilt Build boundaries around your time and emotions Weather the storm of people's disapproval Find freedom through forgiveness and relinquishing control Protect your sense of self while still caring for others

A weight lifted

I found myself in this book in ways that surprised me. But when I did find myself, I just felt relieved and unburdened myself of some stuff I was carrying around. This is a easy read - but deceptively insightful, and it covers just about everything....holiday guilt... does that ever ring a bell! I recommend this for anyone that wants to look at their stuff and understand it better - maybe some good changes will follow.

An extremely useful book

Susan Carrell's Escaping Toxic Guilt has helped me to make sense of tense confrontations and instances of feeling trapped in my own life and in what others have told me about theirs. It has only been about a week since I finished reading it. Nevertheless, I have referred to it in a e-mail to a friend (for the description of Forgiveness on pages 227-229) and have ordered a second copy to send to a friend. There is overlap between the steps for escaping guilt's toxicity given here and the steps for finding ones direction in any situation that make this book universally helpful.
The organization is easy to follow. The stories illustrate the points being made. The personal note is struck just often enough, and does add weight and authenticity.

Practical Approach to Insight

"Toxic Guilt" is a clear, practical approach to understanding ourselves whether you are in some situation or just want to do some "housekeeping". Dealing with a variety of scenarios, it is written in a straight forward, step by step, logical approach making concepts clear and understandable. There is no "foo foo"ness in the text which allows the concepts and ideas to "ring a bell". I highly recommend it

Escaping Toxic Guilt

I feel this book is very applicable to many many of us who struggle with this codependent issue of blaming ourselves too frequently for other people's actions. It is a to-the-point approach which covers so many areas of our lives with a reader friendly format. I will keep this book out to revisit regularly. I bought 2 extra copies to give to friends.
