Until you thoroughly understand low self-esteem, you may not recognize it in your clients. Looks are deceiving.

Comments from a reader:

Dear Dr. Sorensen,

I am a Clinical Psychology doctoral student. I read Breaking the Chain of Low Self-Esteem and I felt compelled to let you know that I thought it was a brilliant book.

The wealth of information is more than one could ever expect for a mere $19.95. It is apparent that you truly put your heart and soul into writing this book. I wish more people in the world read because I would buy this book as a gift for everyone I know.

I believe that most people suffer from low self-esteem and this is the source of much of their relational distress, which I believe is the main reason why people seek therapy. Further, most people are not taught how to raise children with high self-esteem and thus a cycle ensues throughout the generations.

Your book truly hit home for me and added to my growth in self-esteem, and I intend to utilize it with my patients. I appreciate all the time and effort you put into writing this book.

You made a difference in my life, and for this I thank you.
