To some degree, we are all compulsive. Our struggles range from overworrying and overworking to overeating and alcohol and drug abuse. Our primary reaction has been to try to control our behavior, but when we try to control our compulsions, they control us. If we do manage to stop one, another always seems to take its place.

When we try to control our compulsions, we think that this will hold back these powerful urges, but controlling never brings us the lasting healing that we long for. There is another way of working with compulsions that is about being curious rather than controlling and about responding rather than reacting. Our compulsions thrive in reaction. They heal in response. They won’t let go until they teach us how to engage with them, giving the attention and the compassion they need to heal. In the light of our compassionate attention, not only do our compulsions lose their power over us, but they also become a doorway into the healing that we long for.

Ancient wisdom tells us that the best solution to a problem is sometimes to relax into it rather than to struggle and fight. This is the essential insight Mary O'Malley brings to the challenges of compulsive behaviors. As she explains, this involves the cultivation of compassion, forgiveness and curiosity. Our culture, besotted with the desire for control, deeply needs this message. --Larry Dossey, MD, author of Healing Words, Reinventing Medicine, and Healing Beyond the Body

Finally, a conscious, loving and insightful way to understand and deal with our compulsions. Mary O'Malley has penetrated tot he heart of healing behaviors that many of us find overwhelming. This book takes compulsion therapy to a whole new level. --Alan Cohen, author of Mr. Everit's Secret

Like Rose, the heroine of this story, we are all born in the magical Forest of Aliveness and grow up in the village of Mind where we learn that aliveness isn't safe and is very frightening.

In this book, Mary O'Malley beautifully and compellingly weaves the story that each of us lives as we forget who we truly are, and then begin to rediscover our intrinsic aliveness, with all of the perils and joys of the journey home to ourselves.

This is a story for "children" of all ages.
