Dr. Marilyn J. SorensenDr. Sorensen has made her life work that of understanding low self esteem and developing a program for recovery from this devastating problem. Dr. Sorensen gained international recognition as an authority on low self-esteem following release of her first book, Breaking the Chain of Low Self-Esteem. Many who've read it say it's the best book ever written on low self-esteem and has dramatically altered their lives. Dr. Sorensen considers her most important professional contributions to be not only her work on understanding the inner experience of those with low self-esteem, but also the incorporation of those insights into the development of a highly effective recovery program for low self-esteem. She currently provides psychotherapy at her Portland office as well as coaching clients by phone across the United States and presently in 15 other countries.

Comments from a reader:

You may have just saved my life. I have been trying with limited success to explain "what I'm about" to therapists and friends and family for years. On my own I found your books. Wow. I found me. I have a therapist who has been very good but maybe just shy of being a self esteem expert. However, when I took the books in to show her she was quite impressed. I loaned the books to her for a week, and she then bought her own. We are working your program together. For the first time ever I have hope. I get discouraged because I'm 56 years old and want to get better with plenty of time left to enjoy myself, but most of the time I have great hope. I am scared but hopeful at the same time. I guess we LSErs are ALWAYS afraid of failure. Hopefully that will change.

I just want to thank you so much for your wonderful books. I have already started my journey and in time I hope to be able to write to you about my improvements and successes. Finally after all these years maybe I can come out of my shell and LIVE.

Sincerely,

Susan Ross
Boston, MA

"To understand how your self-esteem issues work and how to strengthen them is one of the most meaningful tasks in life. This book provides much, much more than Chicken Soup for the Soul. This book has soul itself.I predict it will become the bible of self-esteem books."

Anna, from Florida.
