Summary: How To Grow A Second Skin For Your Soul
Review: "How To Grow A Second Skin For Your Soul" is by far the best book that has ever been written on the topic of Boundaries, Relationships and developing a solid sense of self. Dr. Burgess knows her material well and teachers with a style that is both engaging and practical. Two particularly helpful 'tools' were envisioning a "semi-permeable" bubble shield around you to keep out the "bad" while letting in the "good", as well as categorizing people into the "no", "maybe" and "yes" categories in order to discern the difference between malevolent and benevolent encounters (and in order to "see energy clearly"). The author offers verbal responses and tips for handling people you have categorized into the "no" and "maybe" categories as well as offering visualization and energetic techniques to help one stay centered when triggers and assaults occur. She guides you through the developmental process of growing through your fears to be able to speak the truth and become spiritually "free" from perceived oppressing energy, such as fear of judgment, criticism, guilt, abandonment and ostracism. And she guides you through the process of healing your heart in order to be able to trust and "let in the good" and to reach a space of neutrality, healthy self-esteem and inner peace. This is the first book to weave psychology with metaphysical principles and "tools", this approach really spoke to me and made sense. "How To Grow A Second Skin For Your Soul" will change your life in that it will make you emotionally centered, it will help you develop your core, your self-esteem, and your relationship with y our self and others. I enthusiastically and unreservedly recommend this book!

Review: Alisa, thank you so very much for teaching me how to grow a second skin for my soul. You are an angel. The dagger chapter in your book was something of a visual aid that I used to explain myself to several important people in my life. This was something I did even before I found your book. After reading your book I was amazed and kept saying to myself over and over yes! Yes! FINALY someone understands!!! Thank you for your gift of knowledge, your perseverance, and your heart. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who has been abused in more ways than one.

Summary: Best guide to "How to stop being hurt"
Review: I brought this book because, l thought it would be funny, l mean who could take themselves that seriously.Well,much to my surprise the author Alisa Burgess is serious.As you go through the book you soon realize that the author has had alot of problems in her life, and this book is an attempt to release her own anger.So l can see where this book could actually help people. l think if you do the opposite of what this book says you will be just fine. l encourage you readers to buy this book, and do the opposite, embrace love, forgive those who have hurt you,we are all connected in life, what you do to one, you do to yourself and all. One last thing, did the author write all of her reviews.

Summary: A termendously helpful guide to life and relationships!
Review: I can't tell you how helpful this book has been in understanding myself and others. Dr. Burgess outlines the dynamics of personal growth and interpersonal relationships in a way that makes so much sense. As Oprah would say, there were many "aha!" moments. This book is full of compassion, unpretensious wisdom and it is very comprehensive and "real." By keeping in mind the things I have learned from this book and applying some of the metaphysical principles she outlines I've seen that I'm more centered and at peace with myself. In short, this book has been a transformative and empowering presence in my life. I have loaned, given or recommended this book to many friends and family members who have also benefitted. For anyone who is seeking to heal, grow and feel more connected to themselves and others I highly recommend this book!

Summary: I've been waiting all my life for a book like this !!!
Review: This book has really made an impact on my life!!! Alisa Burgess has changed the way I am affected by judgmental individuals in this world. I learned about the differences between "No" people, "Maybe" people and "Yes" people. No one has ever deciphered these differences before.I believe every person out there should read this book. It will not only teach you how to deal with criticisim, judgments, but it will also help you believe in yourself and feel confident about who you are. "How to Grow a Second skin for your Soul" has opened up my visual and spiritual world. Not only have I learned how to understand and apply my Chakras, but it has also helped me learn how to build my own private bubble to keep bad energy out and only let in the good and positive energy. It is not only for people who feel judged. It is a book that validates everyone's existence, what this life is about and how to be kind, receptive, affectionate and loving towards bad energy. I highly recommend this book. I bought a copy for a friend of mine who has been on "Wall Street" for the past 35 years and he was very impressed with it. I highly recommend it again to everyone out there who is ready to understand why others act the way the do...
