The Daughter Detox Guided Journal and Workbook: A 7-Stage Process To Help Recover from an Unloving Mother and Reclaim Your Self-Esteem Paperback – February 28, 2018

This unique, timely, and incredibly healing Guided Journal and Workbook is one that is both a perfect companion to Peg Streep's supportive and successful book by the same name (http://amzn.to/2pbKW5N), and also one which could proudly stand alone. The author has woven a beautiful web of a healing process and the opportunity for daughters to participate in their own journey that readers can address, in a manner that provides the ability to take steps that we might not have even been aware of needing in the first place. This positive self-realization and self-discovery workbook gently guides the reader/seeker of well-being on a path toward healing that is necessary to move forward and take the much-needed steps toward recovery and a lighter heart. It also has the potential to unfold and uncover some much needed awareness at any desired comfortable pace, while including some incredibly beneficial information and loving guidance along the way. Every exercise is presented in an enjoyable fashion, where it almost becomes hard to recognize the "work" part of the Workbook since the author so eloquently addresses the process to meet the needs of each individual reader while covering the common thread that applies to all who are on this journey. I highly recommend both this Guided Journal/Workbook as well as Ms. Streep's companion book (and her other incredible gems) and even if you think that you do not have the time to give this the attention it (and you) deserves, I wholeheartedly feel that the healing that can result from this is limitless and worth every minute of giving yourself the chance to soothe your soul and move forward with ease of mind and heart. Thank you Peg Streep, for the gift that keeps on giving…

I bought the workbook some time ago when first published but have only just worked my way through it. I wanted first to process some of what I learned from its companion book, Daughter Detox. That is the beauty of this publication - it can be picked up and put down as inclination and circumstances allow. As the author writes at the beginning: "If a question or a prompt makes you anxious . . ., please stop. There'll be another time to do the work." Recovering from the effects of an unloving mother's behaviours is stressful in itself, and it is a strength of this journal that its author is conscious of this throughout and encourages "cool processing" of memories so that the reader/journaller is led towards healing rather than being stuck in an unhelpful emotional quagmire. I have used the various colouring pages scattered throughout the book to relax myself before tackling sensitive topics and think that they were an inspired inclusion, as is the index which makes it possible to home in with ease on specific topics. This is not a workbook to be filled in and discarded: this is something that once completed becomes a personal reference book of the road to healing from the effects of growing up with an unloving parent.

I have been reading about the impact of childhood abuse and the ways to recover from it for more than 20 years - still, I find this book - and all the research and publications done by the author Peg Streep - among the best and most helpful works in the field. If you struggle with low self esteem, sense of not being "good enough", and all other symptoms of childhood abuse - pick up this book, do the exercises and wipe out the scars of the childhood abuse, so you can live happier and healthier life.

If reading Peg Streep's Daughter Detox: Recovering from an Unloving Mother and Reclaiming Your Life feels a bit like ripping the scab off a deep, old wound and exposing the bruised and tender flesh beneath, The Daughter Detox Guided Journal and Workbook is the balm that soothes. This workbook is the perfect companion to Daughter Detox, full of healing journals prompts, exercises, visualizations, coloring pages, and more. The workbook is beautifully designed and inspires the kind of reflection and introspection necessary for true healing. Readers have been asking for just this sort of thing (just comb the author's Facebook page and see for yourself). Peg Streep listened and delivered. Unloved daughters: Recover, Reclaim, Rejoice!

I thought since it is a workbook that I could just go through it no problem. I suggest not going it alone. This is a lot of serious work and digging emotionally. I feel like a healthy support system or a counselor is good idea, especially if you have not yet unpacked this trauma.

This book focuses more on fixing yourself than on diagnosing and blaming your mother.I listened to the audiobook and has trouble keeping the terms straight, so I ended up buying the workbook. Very helpful getting me to sit down and THINK about the subject matter and reflect upon myself.I don't see why a book like this can't be helpful for sons as well as daughters.

A companion to "Daughter Detox:Recovering from an Unloving Mother." Very helpful and illuminating. I am not one to journal normally, to be guided is very helpful. I am still working through the exercises and will be for awhile. I wanted to leave a review before I finished as I am taking my time. I can say I highly recommend from what I have done so far. Not always easy, but I believe I will enjoy my discovery into myself and taking my emotional inventory, and understanding why, healing, and becoming who I choose to be.

The Daughter Detox Guided Journal & Workbook is a powerful companion to the book. It is a tool to help heal yourself. It is a thoughtful and beautiful book that also serves as a guide toward the patience and self-compassion that many of us have had a hard time finding in the past.Thank you Peg Streep for sharing this body of work.
